RapidIO provides support for memory-mapped I/O +as well as message-based transactions over the switched fabric network. +RapidIO has a standardized discovery mechanism not unlike the PCI bus +standard that allows simple detection of devices in a network. + +This documentation is provided for developers intending to support +RapidIO on new architectures, write new drivers, or to understand the +subsystem internals. + +Known Bugs and Limitations +========================== + +Bugs +---- + +None. ;) + +Limitations +----------- + +1. Access/management of RapidIO memory regions is not supported + +2. Multiple host enumeration is not supported + +RapidIO driver interface +======================== + +Drivers are provided a set of calls in order to interface with the +subsystem to gather info on devices, request/map memory region +resources, and manage mailboxes/doorbells. + +Functions +--------- + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/rio_drv.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/rapidio/rio-driver.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/rapidio/rio.c + :export: + +Internals +========= + +This chapter contains the autogenerated documentation of the RapidIO +subsystem. + +Structures +---------- + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/rio.h + :internal: + +Enumeration and Discovery +------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/rapidio/rio-scan.c + :internal: + +Driver functionality +-------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/rapidio/rio.c + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/rapidio/rio-access.c + :internal: + +Device model support +-------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/rapidio/rio-driver.c + :internal: + +PPC32 support +------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_rio.c + :internal: + +Credits +======= + +The following people have contributed to the RapidIO subsystem directly +or indirectly: + +1.
