It +provides support for embedded USB Device Controllers (UDC) that do not +use Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) or Open Host Controller +Interface (OHCI). + +Instead, these embedded UDC rely on the USB On-the-Go (OTG) +specification which they implement at least partially. The silicon +reference design used in most cases is the Multipoint USB Highspeed +Dual-Role Controller (MUSB HDRC) found in the Mentor Graphics Inventra™ +design. + +As a self-taught exercise I have written an MUSB glue layer for the +Ingenic JZ4740 SoC, modelled after the many MUSB glue layers in the +kernel source tree. This layer can be found at +``drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c``. In this documentation I will walk through the +basics of the ``jz4740.c`` glue layer, explaining the different pieces and +what needs to be done in order to write your own device glue layer. + +.. _musb-basics: + +Linux MUSB Basics +================= + +To get started on the topic, please read USB On-the-Go Basics (see +Resources) which provides an introduction of USB OTG operation at the +hardware level. A couple of wiki pages by Texas Instruments and Analog +Devices also provide an overview of the Linux kernel MUSB configuration, +albeit focused on some specific devices provided by these companies. +Finally, getting acquainted with the USB specification at USB home page +may come in handy, with practical instance provided through the Writing +USB Device Drivers documentation (again, see Resources). + +Linux USB stack is a layered architecture in which the MUSB controller +hardware sits at the lowest. The MUSB controller driver abstract the +MUSB controller hardware to the Linux USB stack:: + + ------------------------ + | | <------- drivers/usb/gadget + | Linux USB Core Stack | <------- drivers/usb/host + | | <------- drivers/usb/core + ------------------------ + ⬍ + -------------------------- + | | <------ drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget.c + | MUSB Controller driver | <------ drivers/usb/musb/musb_host.c + | | <------ drivers/usb/musb/musb_core.c + -------------------------- + ⬍ + --------------------------------- + | MUSB Platform Specific Driver | + | | <-- drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c + | aka "Glue Layer" | + --------------------------------- + ⬍ + --------------------------------- + | MUSB Controller Hardware | + --------------------------------- + +As outlined above, the glue layer is actually the platform specific code +sitting in between the controller driver and the controller hardware. + +Just like a Linux USB driver needs to register itself with the Linux USB +subsystem, the MUSB glue layer needs first to register itself with the +MUSB controller driver. This will allow the controller driver to know +about which device the glue layer supports and which functions to call +when a supported device is detected or released; remember we are talking +about an embedded controller chip here, so no insertion or removal at +run-time. + +All of this information is passed to the MUSB controller driver through +a :c:type:`platform_driver` structure defined in the glue layer as:: + + static struct platform_driver jz4740_driver = { + .probe = jz4740_probe, + .remove = jz4740_remove, + .driver = { + .name = "musb-jz4740", + }, + }; + +The probe and remove function pointers are called when a matching device +is detected and, respectively, released. The name string describes the +device supported by this glue layer. In the current case it matches a +platform_device structure declared in ``arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c``. Note +that we are not using device tree bindings here. + +In order to register itself to the controller driver, the glue layer +goes through a few steps, basically allocating the controller hardware +resources and initialising a couple of circuits. To do so, it needs to +keep track of the information used throughout these steps. This is done +by defining a private ``jz4740_glue`` structure:: + + struct jz4740_glue { + struct device *dev; + struct platform_device *musb; + struct clk *clk; + }; + + +The dev and musb members are both device structure variables. The first +one holds generic information about the device, since it's the basic +device structure, and the latter holds information more closely related +to the subsystem the device is registered to. The clk variable keeps +information related to the device clock operation. + +Let's go through the steps of the probe function that leads the glue +layer to register itself to the controller driver. + +.. note:: + + For the sake of readability each function will be split in logical + parts, each part being shown as if it was independent from the others. + +.. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 8,12,18 + + static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct platform_device *musb; + struct jz4740_glue *glue; + struct clk *clk; + int ret; + + glue = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*glue), GFP_KERNEL); + if (!glue) + return -ENOMEM; + + musb = platform_device_alloc("musb-hdrc", PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO); + if (!musb) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to allocate musb device\n"); + return -ENOMEM; + } + + clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "udc"); + if (IS_ERR(clk)) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get clock\n"); + ret = PTR_ERR(clk); + goto err_platform_device_put; + } + + ret = clk_prepare_enable(clk); + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to enable clock\n"); + goto err_platform_device_put; + } + + musb->dev.parent = &pdev->dev; + + glue->dev = &pdev->dev; + glue->musb = musb; + glue->clk = clk; + + return 0; + + err_platform_device_put: + platform_device_put(musb); + return ret; + } + +The first few lines of the probe function allocate and assign the glue, +musb and clk variables. The ``GFP_KERNEL`` flag (line 8) allows the +allocation process to sleep and wait for memory, thus being usable in a +locking situation. The ``PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO`` flag (line 12) allows +automatic allocation and management of device IDs in order to avoid +device namespace collisions with explicit IDs. With :c:func:`devm_clk_get` +(line 18) the glue layer allocates the clock -- the ``devm_`` prefix +indicates that :c:func:`clk_get` is managed: it automatically frees the +allocated clock resource data when the device is released -- and enable +it. + + + +Then comes the registration steps: + +.. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 3,5,7,9,16 + + static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct musb_hdrc_platform_data *pdata = &jz4740_musb_platform_data; + + pdata->platform_ops = &jz4740_musb_ops; + + platform_set_drvdata(pdev, glue); + + ret = platform_device_add_resources(musb, pdev->resource, + pdev->num_resources); + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add resources\n"); + goto err_clk_disable; + } + + ret = platform_device_add_data(musb, pdata, sizeof(*pdata)); + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add platform_data\n"); + goto err_clk_disable; + } + + return 0; + + err_clk_disable: + clk_disable_unprepare(clk); + err_platform_device_put: + platform_device_put(musb); + return ret; + } + +The first step is to pass the device data privately held by the glue +layer on to the controller driver through :c:func:`platform_set_drvdata` +(line 7). Next is passing on the device resources information, also privately +held at that point, through :c:func:`platform_device_add_resources` (line 9). + +Finally comes passing on the platform specific data to the controller +driver (line 16). Platform data will be discussed in +:ref:`musb-dev-platform-data`, but here we are looking at the +``platform_ops`` function pointer (line 5) in ``musb_hdrc_platform_data`` +structure (line 3). This function pointer allows the MUSB controller +driver to know which function to call for device operation:: + + static const struct musb_platform_ops jz4740_musb_ops = { + .init = jz4740_musb_init, + .exit = jz4740_musb_exit, + }; + +Here we have the minimal case where only init and exit functions are +called by the controller driver when needed. Fact is the JZ4740 MUSB +controller is a basic controller, lacking some features found in other +controllers, otherwise we may also have pointers to a few other +functions like a power management function or a function to switch +between OTG and non-OTG modes, for instance. + +At that point of the registration process, the controller driver +actually calls the init function: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 12,14 + + static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb) + { + musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2); + if (!musb->xceiv) { + pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n"); + return -ENODEV; + } + + /* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register. + * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware. + */ + musb->dyn_fifo = true; + + musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt; + + return 0; + } + +The goal of ``jz4740_musb_init()`` is to get hold of the transceiver +driver data of the MUSB controller hardware and pass it on to the MUSB +controller driver, as usual. The transceiver is the circuitry inside the +controller hardware responsible for sending/receiving the USB data. +Since it is an implementation of the physical layer of the OSI model, +the transceiver is also referred to as PHY. + +Getting hold of the ``MUSB PHY`` driver data is done with ``usb_get_phy()`` +which returns a pointer to the structure containing the driver instance +data. The next couple of instructions (line 12 and 14) are used as a +quirk and to setup IRQ handling respectively. Quirks and IRQ handling +will be discussed later in :ref:`musb-dev-quirks` and +:ref:`musb-handling-irqs`\ :: + + static int jz4740_musb_exit(struct musb *musb) + { + usb_put_phy(musb->xceiv); + + return 0; + } + +Acting as the counterpart of init, the exit function releases the MUSB +PHY driver when the controller hardware itself is about to be released. + +Again, note that init and exit are fairly simple in this case due to the +basic set of features of the JZ4740 controller hardware. When writing an +musb glue layer for a more complex controller hardware, you might need +to take care of more processing in those two functions. + +Returning from the init function, the MUSB controller driver jumps back +into the probe function:: + + static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + ret = platform_device_add(musb); + if (ret) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to register musb device\n"); + goto err_clk_disable; + } + + return 0; + + err_clk_disable: + clk_disable_unprepare(clk); + err_platform_device_put: + platform_device_put(musb); + return ret; + } + +This is the last part of the device registration process where the glue +layer adds the controller hardware device to Linux kernel device +hierarchy: at this stage, all known information about the device is +passed on to the Linux USB core stack: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 5,6 + + static int jz4740_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) + { + struct jz4740_glue *glue = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); + + platform_device_unregister(glue->musb); + clk_disable_unprepare(glue->clk); + + return 0; + } + +Acting as the counterpart of probe, the remove function unregister the +MUSB controller hardware (line 5) and disable the clock (line 6), +allowing it to be gated. + +.. _musb-handling-irqs: + +Handling IRQs +============= + +Additionally to the MUSB controller hardware basic setup and +registration, the glue layer is also responsible for handling the IRQs: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 7,9-11,14,24 + + static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci) + { + unsigned long flags; + irqreturn_t retval = IRQ_NONE; + struct musb *musb = __hci; + + spin_lock_irqsave(&musb->lock, flags); + + musb->int_usb = musb_readb(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRUSB); + musb->int_tx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRTX); + musb->int_rx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRRX); + + /* + * The controller is gadget only, the state of the host mode IRQ bits is + * undefined. Mask them to make sure that the musb driver core will + * never see them set + */ + musb->int_usb &= MUSB_INTR_SUSPEND | MUSB_INTR_RESUME | + MUSB_INTR_RESET | MUSB_INTR_SOF; + + if (musb->int_usb || musb->int_tx || musb->int_rx) + retval = musb_interrupt(musb); + + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags); + + return retval; + } + +Here the glue layer mostly has to read the relevant hardware registers +and pass their values on to the controller driver which will handle the +actual event that triggered the IRQ. + +The interrupt handler critical section is protected by the +:c:func:`spin_lock_irqsave` and counterpart :c:func:`spin_unlock_irqrestore` +functions (line 7 and 24 respectively), which prevent the interrupt +handler code to be run by two different threads at the same time. + +Then the relevant interrupt registers are read (line 9 to 11): + +- ``MUSB_INTRUSB``: indicates which USB interrupts are currently active, + +- ``MUSB_INTRTX``: indicates which of the interrupts for TX endpoints are + currently active, + +- ``MUSB_INTRRX``: indicates which of the interrupts for TX endpoints are + currently active. + +Note that :c:func:`musb_readb` is used to read 8-bit registers at most, while +:c:func:`musb_readw` allows us to read at most 16-bit registers. There are +other functions that can be used depending on the size of your device +registers. See ``musb_io.h`` for more information. + +Instruction on line 18 is another quirk specific to the JZ4740 USB +device controller, which will be discussed later in :ref:`musb-dev-quirks`. + +The glue layer still needs to register the IRQ handler though. Remember +the instruction on line 14 of the init function:: + + static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb) + { + musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt; + + return 0; + } + +This instruction sets a pointer to the glue layer IRQ handler function, +in order for the controller hardware to call the handler back when an +IRQ comes from the controller hardware. The interrupt handler is now +implemented and registered. + +.. _musb-dev-platform-data: + +Device Platform Data +==================== + +In order to write an MUSB glue layer, you need to have some data +describing the hardware capabilities of your controller hardware, which +is called the platform data. + +Platform data is specific to your hardware, though it may cover a broad +range of devices, and is generally found somewhere in the ``arch/`` +directory, depending on your device architecture. + +For instance, platform data for the JZ4740 SoC is found in +``arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c``. In the ``platform.c`` file each device of the +JZ4740 SoC is described through a set of structures. + +Here is the part of ``arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c`` that covers the USB +Device Controller (UDC): + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 2,7,14-17,21,22,25,26,28,29 + + /* USB Device Controller */ + struct platform_device jz4740_udc_xceiv_device = { + .name = "usb_phy_gen_xceiv", + .id = 0, + }; + + static struct resource jz4740_udc_resources[] = { + [0] = { + .start = JZ4740_UDC_BASE_ADDR, + .end = JZ4740_UDC_BASE_ADDR + 0x10000 - 1, + .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM, + }, + [1] = { + .start = JZ4740_IRQ_UDC, + .end = JZ4740_IRQ_UDC, + .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ, + .name = "mc", + }, + }; + + struct platform_device jz4740_udc_device = { + .name = "musb-jz4740", + .id = -1, + .dev = { + .dma_mask = &jz4740_udc_device.dev.coherent_dma_mask, + .coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32), + }, + .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(jz4740_udc_resources), + .resource = jz4740_udc_resources, + }; + +The ``jz4740_udc_xceiv_device`` platform device structure (line 2) +describes the UDC transceiver with a name and id number. + +At the time of this writing, note that ``usb_phy_gen_xceiv`` is the +specific name to be used for all transceivers that are either built-in +with reference USB IP or autonomous and doesn't require any PHY +programming. You will need to set ``CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV=y`` in the +kernel configuration to make use of the corresponding transceiver +driver. The id field could be set to -1 (equivalent to +``PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE``), -2 (equivalent to ``PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO``) or +start with 0 for the first device of this kind if we want a specific id +number. + +The ``jz4740_udc_resources`` resource structure (line 7) defines the UDC +registers base addresses. + +The first array (line 9 to 11) defines the UDC registers base memory +addresses: start points to the first register memory address, end points +to the last register memory address and the flags member defines the +type of resource we are dealing with. So ``IORESOURCE_MEM`` is used to +define the registers memory addresses. The second array (line 14 to 17) +defines the UDC IRQ registers addresses. Since there is only one IRQ +register available for the JZ4740 UDC, start and end point at the same +address. The ``IORESOURCE_IRQ`` flag tells that we are dealing with IRQ +resources, and the name ``mc`` is in fact hard-coded in the MUSB core in +order for the controller driver to retrieve this IRQ resource by +querying it by its name. + +Finally, the ``jz4740_udc_device`` platform device structure (line 21) +describes the UDC itself. + +The ``musb-jz4740`` name (line 22) defines the MUSB driver that is used +for this device; remember this is in fact the name that we used in the +``jz4740_driver`` platform driver structure in :ref:`musb-basics`. +The id field (line 23) is set to -1 (equivalent to ``PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE``) +since we do not need an id for the device: the MUSB controller driver was +already set to allocate an automatic id in :ref:`musb-basics`. In the dev field +we care for DMA related information here. The ``dma_mask`` field (line 25) +defines the width of the DMA mask that is going to be used, and +``coherent_dma_mask`` (line 26) has the same purpose but for the +``alloc_coherent`` DMA mappings: in both cases we are using a 32 bits mask. +Then the resource field (line 29) is simply a pointer to the resource +structure defined before, while the ``num_resources`` field (line 28) keeps +track of the number of arrays defined in the resource structure (in this +case there were two resource arrays defined before). + +With this quick overview of the UDC platform data at the ``arch/`` level now +done, let's get back to the MUSB glue layer specific platform data in +``drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c``: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 3,5,7-9,11 + + static struct musb_hdrc_config jz4740_musb_config = { + /* Silicon does not implement USB OTG. */ + .multipoint = 0, + /* Max EPs scanned, driver will decide which EP can be used. */ + .num_eps = 4, + /* RAMbits needed to configure EPs from table */ + .ram_bits = 9, + .fifo_cfg = jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg, + .fifo_cfg_size = ARRAY_SIZE(jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg), + }; + + static struct musb_hdrc_platform_data jz4740_musb_platform_data = { + .mode = MUSB_PERIPHERAL, + .config = &jz4740_musb_config, + }; + +First the glue layer configures some aspects of the controller driver +operation related to the controller hardware specifics. This is done +through the ``jz4740_musb_config`` :c:type:`musb_hdrc_config` structure. + +Defining the OTG capability of the controller hardware, the multipoint +member (line 3) is set to 0 (equivalent to false) since the JZ4740 UDC +is not OTG compatible. Then ``num_eps`` (line 5) defines the number of USB +endpoints of the controller hardware, including endpoint 0: here we have +3 endpoints + endpoint 0. Next is ``ram_bits`` (line 7) which is the width +of the RAM address bus for the MUSB controller hardware. This +information is needed when the controller driver cannot automatically +configure endpoints by reading the relevant controller hardware +registers. This issue will be discussed when we get to device quirks in +:ref:`musb-dev-quirks`. Last two fields (line 8 and 9) are also +about device quirks: ``fifo_cfg`` points to the USB endpoints configuration +table and ``fifo_cfg_size`` keeps track of the size of the number of +entries in that configuration table. More on that later in +:ref:`musb-dev-quirks`. + +Then this configuration is embedded inside ``jz4740_musb_platform_data`` +:c:type:`musb_hdrc_platform_data` structure (line 11): config is a pointer to +the configuration structure itself, and mode tells the controller driver +if the controller hardware may be used as ``MUSB_HOST`` only, +``MUSB_PERIPHERAL`` only or ``MUSB_OTG`` which is a dual mode. + +Remember that ``jz4740_musb_platform_data`` is then used to convey +platform data information as we have seen in the probe function in +:ref:`musb-basics`. + +.. _musb-dev-quirks: + +Device Quirks +============= + +Completing the platform data specific to your device, you may also need +to write some code in the glue layer to work around some device specific +limitations. These quirks may be due to some hardware bugs, or simply be +the result of an incomplete implementation of the USB On-the-Go +specification. + +The JZ4740 UDC exhibits such quirks, some of which we will discuss here +for the sake of insight even though these might not be found in the +controller hardware you are working on. + +Let's get back to the init function first: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 12 + + static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb) + { + musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2); + if (!musb->xceiv) { + pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n"); + return -ENODEV; + } + + /* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register. + * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware. + */ + musb->dyn_fifo = true; + + musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt; + + return 0; + } + +Instruction on line 12 helps the MUSB controller driver to work around +the fact that the controller hardware is missing registers that are used +for USB endpoints configuration. + +Without these registers, the controller driver is unable to read the +endpoints configuration from the hardware, so we use line 12 instruction +to bypass reading the configuration from silicon, and rely on a +hard-coded table that describes the endpoints configuration instead:: + + static struct musb_fifo_cfg jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg[] = { + { .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 512, }, + { .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_RX, .maxpacket = 512, }, + { .hw_ep_num = 2, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 64, }, + }; + +Looking at the configuration table above, we see that each endpoints is +described by three fields: ``hw_ep_num`` is the endpoint number, style is +its direction (either ``FIFO_TX`` for the controller driver to send packets +in the controller hardware, or ``FIFO_RX`` to receive packets from +hardware), and maxpacket defines the maximum size of each data packet +that can be transmitted over that endpoint. Reading from the table, the +controller driver knows that endpoint 1 can be used to send and receive +USB data packets of 512 bytes at once (this is in fact a bulk in/out +endpoint), and endpoint 2 can be used to send data packets of 64 bytes +at once (this is in fact an interrupt endpoint). + +Note that there is no information about endpoint 0 here: that one is +implemented by default in every silicon design, with a predefined +configuration according to the USB specification. For more examples of +endpoint configuration tables, see ``musb_core.c``. + +Let's now get back to the interrupt handler function: + + .. code-block:: c + :emphasize-lines: 18-19 + + static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci) + { + unsigned long flags; + irqreturn_t retval = IRQ_NONE; + struct musb *musb = __hci; + + spin_lock_irqsave(&musb->lock, flags); + + musb->int_usb = musb_readb(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRUSB); + musb->int_tx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRTX); + musb->int_rx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRRX); + + /* + * The controller is gadget only, the state of the host mode IRQ bits is + * undefined. Mask them to make sure that the musb driver core will + * never see them set + */ + musb->int_usb &= MUSB_INTR_SUSPEND | MUSB_INTR_RESUME | + MUSB_INTR_RESET | MUSB_INTR_SOF; + + if (musb->int_usb || musb->int_tx || musb->int_rx) + retval = musb_interrupt(musb); + + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags); + + return retval; + } + +Instruction on line 18 above is a way for the controller driver to work +around the fact that some interrupt bits used for USB host mode +operation are missing in the ``MUSB_INTRUSB`` register, thus left in an +undefined hardware state, since this MUSB controller hardware is used in +peripheral mode only. As a consequence, the glue layer masks these +missing bits out to avoid parasite interrupts by doing a logical AND +operation between the value read from ``MUSB_INTRUSB`` and the bits that +are actually implemented in the register. + +These are only a couple of the quirks found in the JZ4740 USB device +controller. Some others were directly addressed in the MUSB core since +the fixes were generic enough to provide a better handling of the issues +for others controller hardware eventually. + +Conclusion +========== + +Writing a Linux MUSB glue layer should be a more accessible task, as +this documentation tries to show the ins and outs of this exercise. + +The JZ4740 USB device controller being fairly simple, I hope its glue +layer serves as a good example for the curious mind. Used with the +current MUSB glue layers, this documentation should provide enough +guidance to get started; should anything gets out of hand, the linux-usb +mailing list archive is another helpful resource to browse through. + +Acknowledgements +================ + +Many thanks to Lars-Peter Clausen and Maarten ter Huurne for answering +my questions while I was writing the JZ4740 glue layer and for helping +me out getting the code in good shape. + +I would also like to thank the Qi-Hardware community at large for its +cheerful guidance and support. + +Resources +========= + +USB Home Page: https://www.usb.org + +linux-usb Mailing List Archives: https://marc.info/?l=linux-usb + +USB On-the-Go Basics: +https://www.maximintegrated.com/app-notes/index.mvp/id/1822 + +:ref:`Writing USB Device Drivers <writing-usb-driver>` + +Texas Instruments USB Configuration Wiki Page: +http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Usbgeneralpage |
