documentation: fpga: move fpga-mgr.txt to driver-api
Move Documentation/fpga/fpga-mgr.txt to driver-api/fpga/fpga-mgr.rst and: - Add to driver-api/fpga/index.rst - Format changes so documentation builds cleanly. - Minor rewrites that make the doc flow better as ReST documentation. - Such as moving API reference to end of doc - Change API reference section to refer to kernel-doc documentation in fpga-mgr.c driver code rather than statically defining each function.

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(), 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_create(dev, "Altera SOCFPGA FPGA Manager", | ||
&socfpga_fpga_ops, priv); | ||
if (!mgr) | ||
return -ENOMEM; | ||
|
||
platform_set_drvdata(pdev, mgr); | ||
|
||
ret = fpga_mgr_register(mgr); | ||
if (ret) | ||
fpga_mgr_free(mgr); | ||
|
||
return ret; | ||
} | ||
|
||
static int socfpga_fpga_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) | ||
{ | ||
struct fpga_manager *mgr = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); | ||
|
||
fpga_mgr_unregister(mgr); | ||
|
||
return 0; | ||
} | ||
|
||
|
||
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 atmost .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 read the hardware FPGA manager and | ||
return a code of type enum fpga_mgr_states. It doesn't result in a change in | ||
hardware state. | ||
|
||
How to write an image buffer to a supported FPGA | ||
------------------------------------------------ | ||
|
||
Some sample code:: | ||
|
||
#include <linux/fpga/fpga-mgr.h> | ||
|
||
struct fpga_manager *mgr; | ||
struct fpga_image_info *info; | ||
int ret; | ||
|
||
/* | ||
* Get a reference to FPGA manager. The manager is not locked, so you can | ||
* hold onto this reference without it preventing programming. | ||
* | ||
* This example uses the device node of the manager. Alternatively, use | ||
* fpga_mgr_get(dev) instead if you have the device. | ||
*/ | ||
mgr = of_fpga_mgr_get(mgr_node); | ||
|
||
/* struct with information about the FPGA image to program. */ | ||
info = fpga_image_info_alloc(dev); | ||
|
||
/* flags indicates whether to do full or partial reconfiguration */ | ||
info->flags = FPGA_MGR_PARTIAL_RECONFIG; | ||
|
||
/* | ||
* At this point, indicate where the image is. This is pseudo-code; you're | ||
* going to use one of these three. | ||
*/ | ||
if (image is in a scatter gather table) { | ||
|
||
info->sgt = [your scatter gather table] | ||
|
||
} else if (image is in a buffer) { | ||
|
||
info->buf = [your image buffer] | ||
info->count = [image buffer size] | ||
|
||
} else if (image is in a firmware file) { | ||
|
||
info->firmware_name = devm_kstrdup(dev, firmware_name, GFP_KERNEL); | ||
|
||
} | ||
|
||
/* Get exclusive control of FPGA manager */ | ||
ret = fpga_mgr_lock(mgr); | ||
|
||
/* Load the buffer to the FPGA */ | ||
ret = fpga_mgr_buf_load(mgr, &info, buf, count); | ||
|
||
/* Release the FPGA manager */ | ||
fpga_mgr_unlock(mgr); | ||
fpga_mgr_put(mgr); | ||
|
||
/* Deallocate the image info if you're done with it */ | ||
fpga_image_info_free(info); | ||
|
