FPGA Manager
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The FPGA manager core exports a set of functions for programming an FPGA with
|
|
an image. The API is manufacturer agnostic. All manufacturer specifics are
|
|
hidden away in a low level driver which registers a set of ops with the core.
|
|
The FPGA image data itself is very manufacturer specific, but for our purposes
|
|
it's just binary data. The FPGA manager core won't parse it.
|
|
|
|
The FPGA image to be programmed can be in a scatter gather list, a single
|
|
contiguous buffer, or a firmware file. Because allocating contiguous kernel
|
|
memory for the buffer should be avoided, users are encouraged to use a scatter
|
|
gather list instead if possible.
|
|
|
|
The particulars for programming the image are presented in a structure (struct
|
|
fpga_image_info). This struct contains parameters such as pointers to the
|
|
FPGA image as well as image-specific particulars such as whether the image was
|
|
built for full or partial reconfiguration.
|
|
|
|
How to support a new FPGA device
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To add another FPGA manager, write a driver that implements a set of ops. The
|
|
probe function calls fpga_mgr_register() or fpga_mgr_register_full(), such as::
|
|
|
|
static const struct fpga_manager_ops socfpga_fpga_ops = {
|
|
.write_init = socfpga_fpga_ops_configure_init,
|
|
.write = socfpga_fpga_ops_configure_write,
|
|
.write_complete = socfpga_fpga_ops_configure_complete,
|
|
.state = socfpga_fpga_ops_state,
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
static int socfpga_fpga_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
|
|
{
|
|
struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;
|
|
struct socfpga_fpga_priv *priv;
|
|
struct fpga_manager *mgr;
|
|
int ret;
|
|
|
|
priv = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*priv), GFP_KERNEL);
|
|
if (!priv)
|
|
return -ENOMEM;
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* do ioremaps, get interrupts, etc. and save
|
|
* them in priv
|
|
*/
|
|
|
|
mgr = fpga_mgr_register(dev, "Altera SOCFPGA FPGA Manager",
|
|
&socfpga_fpga_ops, priv);
|
|
if (IS_ERR(mgr))
|
|
return PTR_ERR(mgr);
|
|
|
|
platform_set_drvdata(pdev, mgr);
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
static int socfpga_fpga_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
|
|
{
|
|
struct fpga_manager *mgr = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
|
|
|
|
fpga_mgr_unregister(mgr);
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the probe function could call one of the resource managed
|
|
register functions, devm_fpga_mgr_register() or devm_fpga_mgr_register_full().
|
|
When these functions are used, the parameter syntax is the same, but the call
|
|
to fpga_mgr_unregister() should be removed. In the above example, the
|
|
socfpga_fpga_remove() function would not be required.
|
|
|
|
The ops will implement whatever device specific register writes are needed to
|
|
do the programming sequence for this particular FPGA. These ops return 0 for
|
|
success or negative error codes otherwise.
|
|
|
|
The programming sequence is::
|
|
1. .write_init
|
|
2. .write or .write_sg (may be called once or multiple times)
|
|
3. .write_complete
|
|
|
|
The .write_init function will prepare the FPGA to receive the image data. The
|
|
buffer passed into .write_init will be at most .initial_header_size bytes long;
|
|
if the whole bitstream is not immediately available then the core code will
|
|
buffer up at least this much before starting.
|
|
|
|
The .write function writes a buffer to the FPGA. The buffer may be contain the
|
|
whole FPGA image or may be a smaller chunk of an FPGA image. In the latter
|
|
case, this function is called multiple times for successive chunks. This interface
|
|
is suitable for drivers which use PIO.
|
|
|
|
The .write_sg version behaves the same as .write except the input is a sg_table
|
|
scatter list. This interface is suitable for drivers which use DMA.
|
|
|
|
The .write_complete function is called after all the image has been written
|
|
to put the FPGA into operating mode.
|
|
|
|
The ops include a .state function which will determine the state the FPGA is in
|
|
and return a code of type enum fpga_mgr_states. It doesn't result in a change
|
|
in state.

API for implementing a new FPGA Manager driver
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* ``fpga_mgr_states`` - Values for :c:expr:`fpga_manager->state`.
|
|
* struct fpga_manager - the FPGA manager struct
|
|
* struct fpga_manager_ops - Low level FPGA manager driver ops
|
|
* struct fpga_manager_info - Parameter structure for fpga_mgr_register_full()
|
|
* fpga_mgr_register_full() - Create and register an FPGA manager using the
|
|
fpga_mgr_info structure to provide the full flexibility of options
|
|
* fpga_mgr_register() - Create and register an FPGA manager using standard
|
|
arguments
|
|
* devm_fpga_mgr_register_full() - Resource managed version of
|
|
fpga_mgr_register_full()
|
|
* devm_fpga_mgr_register() - Resource managed version of fpga_mgr_register()
|
|
* fpga_mgr_unregister() - Unregister an FPGA manager
