PCIE SATA controller ASM1062 problems or software

[vecnar]

Hello,

I posted on another thread but after further basic testing decided to put it in separate thread as i am not sure where the problem is.

Below was ordered in march 2019 and haven't been setup or fully used yet.

• rockpro64 4gb
  
• nas case with 12v 5a psu and fan
  
• Sata pcie card ASM1062 Serial ATA Controller (rev 01)
  
• sd card imaged with stretch-openmediavault-rockpro64-0.7.9-1067-arm64.img
  

Main problem is when i first plugin power connector to rockpro64 it automatically starts to boot from sd card (which is good) but once os boots hard drives are not showing up in omv and it takes much longer to boot. I have to reboot at least once for hard drives to show up. It also throws a lot of errors when trying to copy a number of files.


My findings:

1. After first boot no disks are seen but i hear hard drives starting to spin up 2x 4TB WD red, i tried with only 1 drive but the same problems so power shouldn't be an issue.
   
2. If i execute "halt -p" when disks are not seen in omv i can still hear them spinning when rockpro64 power on light is off.
   
3. During reboot disks do not stop spinning
   
4. Based on the above it looks like sata card or whatever controls disk recognition need to be reconfigured to add delay but i do not know how
   

Before i go and start purchasing different sata cards (they are not cheap here, around 40-50 euro for marvel 88se9215) i would like to know is it a problem with sata card or time it takes for hard drives to spinup and start talking to sata card. I would also like to know if asmedia 1602 rev01 is stable and performing well for others.

Below are the errors i see when copying some files to disk

Code:

[ 2939.458032] ata2.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error
[ 2939.462603] ata2: SError: { Handshk }
[ 2939.466949] ata2.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED

Below are the errors i see after first boot
