Independent Certification of AHCI Spec

[Nick_M]

Hi,

Does anyone know if Intel undergo independent validation of the AHCI specification for their processors ?

Specifically trying to establish any validation evidence for the AHCI Spec on the CORE i7 6600u processor.

Cheers - Nick

Hello @Nick_M,

Thank you for contacting Intel Embedded Community.

Just to let you know that Skylake active support is no longer available.

But I looked and found this document, Intel® 6 Series Chipset and Intel® C200 Series Chipset.

https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/612/6-chipset-c200-chipset-datasheet-257573.pdf

You can check section 1.3 Intel® 6 Series Chipset and Intel® C200 Series Chipset SKU Definition.

The only chipset that doesn't support AHCI is the H61.

Best regards,

Diego, Thanks for the link, my next mission would have been to start digging into the PCH, but you hve covered that

Do you know if there is a similar datasheet for the CORE i7 6600u processor; accepting that Skylake is no longer supported ?

Looks like they have broken up the page that provided all of these datasheets. I have attached a ZIP file with the documents that I have in my archive for 6th gen processors.

Hope this helps,

Hello @Nick_M,

I was looking for a public datasheet like the link I have shared of the PCH, but Scott shared a zip that is very helpful so you can use that as the documents that we have in RDC require a Premier account.

Also @n_scott_pearson, thank you very much for the help.

Best regards,
