Development of the RapidIO standard is directed by the +RapidIO Trade Association (RTA). The current version of the RapidIO specification +is publicly available for download from the RTA web-site [1]. + +This document describes the basics of the Linux RapidIO subsystem and provides +information on its major components. + +1 Overview +========== + +Because the RapidIO subsystem follows the Linux device model it is integrated +into the kernel similarly to other buses by defining RapidIO-specific device and +bus types and registering them within the device model. + +The Linux RapidIO subsystem is architecture independent and therefore defines +architecture-specific interfaces that provide support for common RapidIO +subsystem operations. + +2. Core Components +================== + +A typical RapidIO network is a combination of endpoints and switches. +Each of these components is represented in the subsystem by an associated data +structure. The core logical components of the RapidIO subsystem are defined +in include/linux/rio.h file. + +2.1 Master Port +--------------- + +A master port (or mport) is a RapidIO interface controller that is local to the +processor executing the Linux code. A master port generates and receives RapidIO +packets (transactions). In the RapidIO subsystem each master port is represented +by a rio_mport data structure. This structure contains master port specific +resources such as mailboxes and doorbells. The rio_mport also includes a unique +host device ID that is valid when a master port is configured as an enumerating +host. + +RapidIO master ports are serviced by subsystem specific mport device drivers +that provide functionality defined for this subsystem. To provide a hardware +independent interface for RapidIO subsystem operations, rio_mport structure +includes rio_ops data structure which contains pointers to hardware specific +implementations of RapidIO functions. + +2.2 Device +---------- + +A RapidIO device is any endpoint (other than mport) or switch in the network. +All devices are presented in the RapidIO subsystem by corresponding rio_dev data +structure. Devices form one global device list and per-network device lists +(depending on number of available mports and networks). + +2.3 Switch +---------- + +A RapidIO switch is a special class of device that routes packets between its +ports towards their final destination. The packet destination port within a +switch is defined by an internal routing table. A switch is presented in the +RapidIO subsystem by rio_dev data structure expanded by additional rio_switch +data structure, which contains switch specific information such as copy of the +routing table and pointers to switch specific functions. + +The RapidIO subsystem defines the format and initialization method for subsystem +specific switch drivers that are designed to provide hardware-specific +implementation of common switch management routines. + +2.4 Network +----------- + +A RapidIO network is a combination of interconnected endpoint and switch devices. +Each RapidIO network known to the system is represented by corresponding rio_net +data structure. This structure includes lists of all devices and local master +ports that form the same network. It also contains a pointer to the default +master port that is used to communicate with devices within the network. + +2.5 Device Drivers +------------------ + +RapidIO device-specific drivers follow Linux Kernel Driver Model and are +intended to support specific RapidIO devices attached to the RapidIO network. + +2.6 Subsystem Interfaces +------------------------ + +RapidIO interconnect specification defines features that may be used to provide +one or more common service layers for all participating RapidIO devices. These +common services may act separately from device-specific drivers or be used by +device-specific drivers. Example of such service provider is the RIONET driver +which implements Ethernet-over-RapidIO interface. Because only one driver can be +registered for a device, all common RapidIO services have to be registered as +subsystem interfaces. This allows to have multiple common services attached to +the same device without blocking attachment of a device-specific driver. + +3. Subsystem Initialization +=========================== + +In order to initialize the RapidIO subsystem, a platform must initialize and +register at least one master port within the RapidIO network. To register mport +within the subsystem controller driver's initialization code calls function +rio_register_mport() for each available master port. + +After all active master ports are registered with a RapidIO subsystem, +an enumeration and/or discovery routine may be called automatically or +by user-space command. + +RapidIO subsystem can be configured to be built as a statically linked or +modular component of the kernel (see details below). + +4. Enumeration and Discovery +============================ + +4.1 Overview +------------ + +RapidIO subsystem configuration options allow users to build enumeration and +discovery methods as statically linked components or loadable modules. +An enumeration/discovery method implementation and available input parameters +define how any given method can be attached to available RapidIO mports: +simply to all available mports OR individually to the specified mport device. + +Depending on selected enumeration/discovery build configuration, there are +several methods to initiate an enumeration and/or discovery process: + + (a) Statically linked enumeration and discovery process can be started + automatically during kernel initialization time using corresponding module + parameters. This was the original method used since introduction of RapidIO + subsystem. Now this method relies on enumerator module parameter which is + 'rio-scan.scan' for existing basic enumeration/discovery method. + When automatic start of enumeration/discovery is used a user has to ensure + that all discovering endpoints are started before the enumerating endpoint + and are waiting for enumeration to be completed. + Configuration option CONFIG_RAPIDIO_DISC_TIMEOUT defines time that discovering + endpoint waits for enumeration to be completed. If the specified timeout + expires the discovery process is terminated without obtaining RapidIO network + information. NOTE: a timed out discovery process may be restarted later using + a user-space command as it is described below (if the given endpoint was + enumerated successfully). + + (b) Statically linked enumeration and discovery process can be started by + a command from user space. This initiation method provides more flexibility + for a system startup compared to the option (a) above. After all participating + endpoints have been successfully booted, an enumeration process shall be + started first by issuing a user-space command, after an enumeration is + completed a discovery process can be started on all remaining endpoints. + + (c) Modular enumeration and discovery process can be started by a command from + user space. After an enumeration/discovery module is loaded, a network scan + process can be started by issuing a user-space command. + Similar to the option (b) above, an enumerator has to be started first. + + (d) Modular enumeration and discovery process can be started by a module + initialization routine. In this case an enumerating module shall be loaded + first. + +When a network scan process is started it calls an enumeration or discovery +routine depending on the configured role of a master port: host or agent. + +Enumeration is performed by a master port if it is configured as a host port by +assigning a host destination ID greater than or equal to zero. The host +destination ID can be assigned to a master port using various methods depending +on RapidIO subsystem build configuration: + + (a) For a statically linked RapidIO subsystem core use command line parameter + "rapidio.hdid=" with a list of destination ID assignments in order of mport + device registration. For example, in a system with two RapidIO controllers + the command line parameter "rapidio.hdid=-1,7" will result in assignment of + the host destination ID=7 to the second RapidIO controller, while the first + one will be assigned destination ID=-1. + + (b) If the RapidIO subsystem core is built as a loadable module, in addition + to the method shown above, the host destination ID(s) can be specified using + traditional methods of passing module parameter "hdid=" during its loading: + + - from command line: "modprobe rapidio hdid=-1,7", or + - from modprobe configuration file using configuration command "options", + like in this example: "options rapidio hdid=-1,7". An example of modprobe + configuration file is provided in the section below. + +NOTES: + (i) if "hdid=" parameter is omitted all available mport will be assigned + destination ID = -1; + + (ii) the "hdid=" parameter in systems with multiple mports can have + destination ID assignments omitted from the end of list (default = -1). + +If the host device ID for a specific master port is set to -1, the discovery +process will be performed for it. + +The enumeration and discovery routines use RapidIO maintenance transactions +to access the configuration space of devices. + +NOTE: If RapidIO switch-specific device drivers are built as loadable modules +they must be loaded before enumeration/discovery process starts. +This requirement is cased by the fact that enumeration/discovery methods invoke +vendor-specific callbacks on early stages. + +4.2 Automatic Start of Enumeration and Discovery +------------------------------------------------ + +Automatic enumeration/discovery start method is applicable only to built-in +enumeration/discovery RapidIO configuration selection. To enable automatic +enumeration/discovery start by existing basic enumerator method set use boot +command line parameter "rio-scan.scan=1". + +This configuration requires synchronized start of all RapidIO endpoints that +form a network which will be enumerated/discovered. Discovering endpoints have +to be started before an enumeration starts to ensure that all RapidIO +controllers have been initialized and are ready to be discovered. Configuration +parameter CONFIG_RAPIDIO_DISC_TIMEOUT defines time (in seconds) which +a discovering endpoint will wait for enumeration to be completed. + +When automatic enumeration/discovery start is selected, basic method's +initialization routine calls rio_init_mports() to perform enumeration or +discovery for all known mport devices. + +Depending on RapidIO network size and configuration this automatic +enumeration/discovery start method may be difficult to use due to the +requirement for synchronized start of all endpoints. + +4.3 User-space Start of Enumeration and Discovery +------------------------------------------------- + +User-space start of enumeration and discovery can be used with built-in and +modular build configurations. For user-space controlled start RapidIO subsystem +creates the sysfs write-only attribute file '/sys/bus/rapidio/scan'. To initiate +an enumeration or discovery process on specific mport device, a user needs to +write mport_ID (not RapidIO destination ID) into that file. The mport_ID is a +sequential number (0 ... RIO_MAX_MPORTS) assigned during mport device +registration. For example for machine with single RapidIO controller, mport_ID +for that controller always will be 0. + +To initiate RapidIO enumeration/discovery on all available mports a user may +write '-1' (or RIO_MPORT_ANY) into the scan attribute file. + +4.4 Basic Enumeration Method +---------------------------- + +This is an original enumeration/discovery method which is available since +first release of RapidIO subsystem code. The enumeration process is +implemented according to the enumeration algorithm outlined in the RapidIO +Interconnect Specification: Annex I [1]. + +This method can be configured as statically linked or loadable module. +The method's single parameter "scan" allows to trigger the enumeration/discovery +process from module initialization routine. + +This enumeration/discovery method can be started only once and does not support +unloading if it is built as a module. + +The enumeration process traverses the network using a recursive depth-first +algorithm. When a new device is found, the enumerator takes ownership of that +device by writing into the Host Device ID Lock CSR. It does this to ensure that +the enumerator has exclusive right to enumerate the device. If device ownership +is successfully acquired, the enumerator allocates a new rio_dev structure and +initializes it according to device capabilities. + +If the device is an endpoint, a unique device ID is assigned to it and its value +is written into the device's Base Device ID CSR. + +If the device is a switch, the enumerator allocates an additional rio_switch +structure to store switch specific information. Then the switch's vendor ID and +device ID are queried against a table of known RapidIO switches. Each switch +table entry contains a pointer to a switch-specific initialization routine that +initializes pointers to the rest of switch specific operations, and performs +hardware initialization if necessary. A RapidIO switch does not have a unique +device ID; it relies on hopcount and routing for device ID of an attached +endpoint if access to its configuration registers is required. If a switch (or +chain of switches) does not have any endpoint (except enumerator) attached to +it, a fake device ID will be assigned to configure a route to that switch. +In the case of a chain of switches without endpoint, one fake device ID is used +to configure a route through the entire chain and switches are differentiated by +their hopcount value. + +For both endpoints and switches the enumerator writes a unique component tag +into device's Component Tag CSR. That unique value is used by the error +management notification mechanism to identify a device that is reporting an +error management event. + +Enumeration beyond a switch is completed by iterating over each active egress +port of that switch. For each active link, a route to a default device ID +(0xFF for 8-bit systems and 0xFFFF for 16-bit systems) is temporarily written +into the routing table. The algorithm recurs by calling itself with hopcount + 1 +and the default device ID in order to access the device on the active port. + +After the host has completed enumeration of the entire network it releases +devices by clearing device ID locks (calls rio_clear_locks()). For each endpoint +in the system, it sets the Discovered bit in the Port General Control CSR +to indicate that enumeration is completed and agents are allowed to execute +passive discovery of the network. + +The discovery process is performed by agents and is similar to the enumeration +process that is described above. However, the discovery process is performed +without changes to the existing routing because agents only gather information +about RapidIO network structure and are building an internal map of discovered +devices. This way each Linux-based component of the RapidIO subsystem has +a complete view of the network. The discovery process can be performed +simultaneously by several agents. After initializing its RapidIO master port +each agent waits for enumeration completion by the host for the configured wait +time period. If this wait time period expires before enumeration is completed, +an agent skips RapidIO discovery and continues with remaining kernel +initialization. + +4.5 Adding New Enumeration/Discovery Method +------------------------------------------- + +RapidIO subsystem code organization allows addition of new enumeration/discovery +methods as new configuration options without significant impact to the core +RapidIO code. + +A new enumeration/discovery method has to be attached to one or more mport +devices before an enumeration/discovery process can be started. Normally, +method's module initialization routine calls rio_register_scan() to attach +an enumerator to a specified mport device (or devices). The basic enumerator +implementation demonstrates this process. + +4.6 Using Loadable RapidIO Switch Drivers +----------------------------------------- + +In the case when RapidIO switch drivers are built as loadable modules a user +must ensure that they are loaded before the enumeration/discovery starts. +This process can be automated by specifying pre- or post- dependencies in the +RapidIO-specific modprobe configuration file as shown in the example below. + +File /etc/modprobe.d/rapidio.conf:: + + # Configure RapidIO subsystem modules + + # Set enumerator host destination ID (overrides kernel command line option) + options rapidio hdid=-1,2 + + # Load RapidIO switch drivers immediately after rapidio core module was loaded + softdep rapidio post: idt_gen2 idtcps tsi57x + + # OR : + + # Load RapidIO switch drivers just before rio-scan enumerator module is loaded + softdep rio-scan pre: idt_gen2 idtcps tsi57x + + -------------------------- + +NOTE: + In the example above, one of "softdep" commands must be removed or + commented out to keep required module loading sequence. + +5.

Tsi721 miniport driver uses seven +out of eight available BDMA channels to support DMA data transfers. +One BDMA channel is reserved for generation of maintenance read/write requests. + +If Tsi721 mport driver have been built with RAPIDIO_DMA_ENGINE support included, +this driver will accept DMA-specific module parameter: + + "dma_desc_per_channel" + - defines number of hardware buffer descriptors used by + each BDMA channel of Tsi721 (by default - 128). + +4. Version History + + ===== ==================================================================== + 1.1.0 DMA operations re-worked to support data scatter/gather lists larger + than hardware buffer descriptors ring. + 1.0.0 Initial driver release. + ===== ==================================================================== + +5.
