Overview +=========== + +This device driver is the result of collaboration within the RapidIO.org +Software Task Group (STG) between Texas Instruments, Freescale, +Prodrive Technologies, Nokia Networks, BAE and IDT. Additional input was +received from other members of RapidIO.org. The objective was to create a +character mode driver interface which exposes the capabilities of RapidIO +devices directly to applications, in a manner that allows the numerous and +varied RapidIO implementations to interoperate. + +This driver (MPORT_CDEV) provides access to basic RapidIO subsystem operations +for user-space applications. Most of RapidIO operations are supported through +'ioctl' system calls. + +When loaded this device driver creates filesystem nodes named rio_mportX in /dev +directory for each registered RapidIO mport device. 'X' in the node name matches +to unique port ID assigned to each local mport device. + +Using available set of ioctl commands user-space applications can perform +following RapidIO bus and subsystem operations: + +- Reads and writes from/to configuration registers of mport devices + (RIO_MPORT_MAINT_READ_LOCAL/RIO_MPORT_MAINT_WRITE_LOCAL) +- Reads and writes from/to configuration registers of remote RapidIO devices. + This operations are defined as RapidIO Maintenance reads/writes in RIO spec. + (RIO_MPORT_MAINT_READ_REMOTE/RIO_MPORT_MAINT_WRITE_REMOTE) +- Set RapidIO Destination ID for mport devices (RIO_MPORT_MAINT_HDID_SET) +- Set RapidIO Component Tag for mport devices (RIO_MPORT_MAINT_COMPTAG_SET) +- Query logical index of mport devices (RIO_MPORT_MAINT_PORT_IDX_GET) +- Query capabilities and RapidIO link configuration of mport devices + (RIO_MPORT_GET_PROPERTIES) +- Enable/Disable reporting of RapidIO doorbell events to user-space applications + (RIO_ENABLE_DOORBELL_RANGE/RIO_DISABLE_DOORBELL_RANGE) +- Enable/Disable reporting of RIO port-write events to user-space applications + (RIO_ENABLE_PORTWRITE_RANGE/RIO_DISABLE_PORTWRITE_RANGE) +- Query/Control type of events reported through this driver: doorbells, + port-writes or both (RIO_SET_EVENT_MASK/RIO_GET_EVENT_MASK) +- Configure/Map mport's outbound requests window(s) for specific size, + RapidIO destination ID, hopcount and request type + (RIO_MAP_OUTBOUND/RIO_UNMAP_OUTBOUND) +- Configure/Map mport's inbound requests window(s) for specific size, + RapidIO base address and local memory base address + (RIO_MAP_INBOUND/RIO_UNMAP_INBOUND) +- Allocate/Free contiguous DMA coherent memory buffer for DMA data transfers + to/from remote RapidIO devices (RIO_ALLOC_DMA/RIO_FREE_DMA) +- Initiate DMA data transfers to/from remote RapidIO devices (RIO_TRANSFER). + Supports blocking, asynchronous and posted (a.k.a 'fire-and-forget') data + transfer modes. +- Check/Wait for completion of asynchronous DMA data transfer + (RIO_WAIT_FOR_ASYNC) +- Manage device objects supported by RapidIO subsystem (RIO_DEV_ADD/RIO_DEV_DEL). + This allows implementation of various RapidIO fabric enumeration algorithms + as user-space applications while using remaining functionality provided by + kernel RapidIO subsystem. + +2. Hardware Compatibility +========================= + +This device driver uses standard interfaces defined by kernel RapidIO subsystem +and therefore it can be used with any mport device driver registered by RapidIO +subsystem with limitations set by available mport implementation. + +At this moment the most common limitation is availability of RapidIO-specific +DMA engine framework for specific mport device. Users should verify available +functionality of their platform when planning to use this driver: + +- IDT Tsi721 PCIe-to-RapidIO bridge device and its mport device driver are fully + compatible with this driver. +- Freescale SoCs 'fsl_rio' mport driver does not have implementation for RapidIO + specific DMA engine support and therefore DMA data transfers mport_cdev driver + are not available. + +3. Module parameters +==================== + +- 'dma_timeout' + - DMA transfer completion timeout (in msec, default value 3000). + This parameter set a maximum completion wait time for SYNC mode DMA + transfer requests and for RIO_WAIT_FOR_ASYNC ioctl requests. + +- 'dbg_level' + - This parameter allows to control amount of debug information + generated by this device driver. This parameter is formed by set of + bit masks that correspond to the specific functional blocks. + For mask definitions see 'drivers/rapidio/devices/rio_mport_cdev.c' + This parameter can be changed dynamically. + Use CONFIG_RAPIDIO_DEBUG=y to enable debug output at the top level. + +4. Known problems +================= + + None. + +5. User-space Applications and API +================================== + +API library and applications that use this device driver are available from +RapidIO.org. + +6. TODO List +============ + +- Add support for sending/receiving "raw" RapidIO messaging packets. +- Add memory mapped DMA data transfers as an option when RapidIO-specific DMA + is not available. -- cgit v1.2.3
