For higher end Enterprise applications, CEVA is currently developing
a comprehensive SAS solution, encompassing both Protocol (SSP/SMP/STP)
and PHY. The hardware element of the Protocol is accompanied by
a complete software stack, which provides a structured API interface
to the upper application layer.
CEVA-SAS offers support for Narrow/Wide Ports, Scalable Context
Management, End-to-End Protection (SBC-2) and advanced metric harvesting
and debug features.
