S-SATA for openXC7

Open source SATA phy and interface for FPGA's

This project develops an open-source SATA controller for use with FPGA technology, specifically targeting the Xilinx Kintex/Artix7 family. SATA, which stands for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, is a technology used to transfer data between a CPU and an attached persistent storage device. By creating an open-source hardware controller, this project will make it easier and more affordable for researchers and developers to implement dependable high-speed data storage solutions in their FPGA-based projects. Initially, the controller will support the 1500Mb/s data transfer speed typical of earlier SATA versions. Our development plan includes both building this controller, a hardware simulation of it, and software to demonstrate it. We then intend to implement it on actual hardware and prove it works.
