Key:
M – Test or test area is mandatory for listed product type
F – Test or test area is feature dependent for list product type
-- – Test or test area is not valid for listed product type
* -- Test or test area is currently documented as informative
I – This denotes that this column has the same test as the corresponding internal column(s) to the left (host/device)
-n This is a suffix that denotes the test has changes from other columns (external changes to internal tests)
2.1. General Test Requirements
All Serial ATA products under test shall meet the test requirements listed within this section (where applicable) to
confirm Serial ATA interoperability relevant to the specified Expected Behavior.
2.1.1. GTR-01 – Software Reset
2.1.1.1. Device Expected Behavior
See section 11.3 of Serial ATA Revision 2.6.
Once the initial Register device-to-host FIS has been received and successfully acknowledged with no errors, a
Device shall successfully respond to the setting of the SRST bit in the Device Control register at any time and perform
the software reset protocol.
• Repeat the following 5 times
Measurement Requirements
o Issue SRST to device when no command is outstanding
• Verify Register FIS receipt (after reset sequence) from device with the appropriate signature contents in
Sector Count, LBA Low, LBA Mid and LBA High registers. (see ATA/6 reference and correction e04127r0)
within an allotted 31 second timeframe (these results shall be verified for all test instances)
Pass/Fail Criteria
2.1.2. GTR-02 -- 3Gb/s Backwards Compatibility
2.1.2.1. Device Expected Behavior
See section 7.4.21.1.2 of Serial ATA Revision 2.6.
If a device claims support for Serial ATA Gen-2 signaling speed (Word 76 bit 2 set to one in IDENTIFY DEVICE or
IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE data), then it shall also support Serial ATA Gen-1 signaling speed (Word 76 bit 1 set to
one in IDENTIFY DEVICE or IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE data).
In addition to verifying the IDENTIFY DEVICE or IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE contents, support shall be verified by
ensuring compatibility and interoperability with both a Gen-1 host and Gen-2 host. Details on how this testing is done
is not specified in this document.
