CONFIGURING PCI ENDPOINT USING CONFIGFS
|
|
Kishon Vijay Abraham I <kishon@ti.com>
|
|
|
|
The PCI Endpoint Core exposes configfs entry (pci_ep) to configure the
|
|
PCI endpoint function and to bind the endpoint function
|
|
with the endpoint controller. (For introducing other mechanisms to
|
|
configure the PCI Endpoint Function refer to [1]).
|
|
|
|
*) Mounting configfs
|
|
|
|
The PCI Endpoint Core layer creates pci_ep directory in the mounted configfs
|
|
directory. configfs can be mounted using the following command.
|
|
|
|
mount -t configfs none /sys/kernel/config
|
|
|
|
*) Directory Structure
|
|
|
|
The pci_ep configfs has two directories at its root: controllers and
|
|
functions. Every EPC device present in the system will have an entry in
|
|
the *controllers* directory and and every EPF driver present in the system
|
|
will have an entry in the *functions* directory.
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/
|
|
.. controllers/
|
|
.. functions/
|
|
|
|
*) Creating EPF Device
|
|
|
|
Every registered EPF driver will be listed in controllers directory. The
|
|
entries corresponding to EPF driver will be created by the EPF core.
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/functions/
|
|
.. <EPF Driver1>/
|
|
... <EPF Device 11>/
|
|
... <EPF Device 21>/
|
|
.. <EPF Driver2>/
|
|
... <EPF Device 12>/
|
|
... <EPF Device 22>/
|
|
|
|
In order to create a <EPF device> of the type probed by <EPF Driver>, the
|
|
user has to create a directory inside <EPF DriverN>.
|
|
|
|
Every <EPF device> directory consists of the following entries that can be
|
|
used to configure the standard configuration header of the endpoint function.
|
|
(These entries are created by the framework when any new <EPF Device> is
|
|
created)
|
|
|
|
.. <EPF Driver1>/
|
|
... <EPF Device 11>/
|
|
... vendorid
|
|
... deviceid
|
|
... revid
|
|
... progif_code
|
|
... subclass_code
|
|
... baseclass_code
|
|
... cache_line_size
|
|
... subsys_vendor_id
|
|
... subsys_id
|
|
... interrupt_pin
|
|
|
|
*) EPC Device
|
|
|
|
Every registered EPC device will be listed in controllers directory. The
|
|
entries corresponding to EPC device will be created by the EPC core.
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/controllers/
|
|
.. <EPC Device1>/
|
|
... <Symlink EPF Device11>/
|
|
... <Symlink EPF Device12>/
|
|
... start
|
|
.. <EPC Device2>/
|
|
... <Symlink EPF Device21>/
|
|
... <Symlink EPF Device22>/
|
|
... start
|
|
|
|
The <EPC Device> directory will have a list of symbolic links to
|
|
<EPF Device>. These symbolic links should be created by the user to
|
|
represent the functions present in the endpoint device.
|
|
|
|
The <EPC Device> directory will also have a *start* field. Once
|
|
"1" is written to this field, the endpoint device will be ready to
|
|
establish the link with the host. This is usually done after
|
|
all the EPF devices are created and linked with the EPC device.
