This is an educational device for writing (kernel) drivers. Its original
|
|
intention was to support the Linux kernel lectures taught at the Masaryk
|
|
University. Students are given this virtual device and are expected to write a
|
|
driver with I/Os, IRQs, DMAs and such.
|
|
|
|
The devices behaves very similar to the PCI bridge present in the COMBO6 cards
|
|
developed under the Liberouter wings. Both PCI device ID and PCI space is
|
|
inherited from that device.
|
|
|
|
Command line switches:
|
|
-device edu[,dma_mask=mask]
|
|
|
|
dma_mask makes the virtual device work with DMA addresses with the given
|
|
mask. For educational purposes, the device supports only 28 bits (256 MiB)
|
|
by default. Students shall set dma_mask for the device in the OS driver
|
|
properly.

PCI specs
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
PCI ID: 1234:11e8
|
|
|
|
PCI Region 0:
|
|
I/O memory, 1 MB in size. Users are supposed to communicate with the card
|
|
through this memory.
|
|
|
|
MMIO area spec
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Only size == 4 accesses are allowed for addresses < 0x80. size == 4 or
|
|
size == 8 for the rest.
|
|
|
|
0x00 (RO) : identification (0xRRrr00edu)
|
|
RR -- major version
|
|
rr -- minor version
|
|
|
|
0x04 (RW) : card liveness check
|
|
It is a simple value inversion (~ C operator).
|
|
|
|
0x08 (RW) : factorial computation
|
|
The stored value is taken and factorial of it is put back here.
|
|
This happens only after factorial bit in the status register (0x20
|
|
below) is cleared.
|
|
|
|
0x20 (RW) : status register, bitwise OR
|
|
0x01 -- computing factorial (RO)
|
|
0x80 -- raise interrupt after finishing factorial computation
|
|
|
|
0x24 (RO) : interrupt status register
|
|
It contains values which raised the interrupt (see interrupt raise
|
|
register below).
|
|
|
|
0x60 (WO) : interrupt raise register
|
|
Raise an interrupt. The value will be put to the interrupt status
|
|
register (using bitwise OR).
|
|
|
|
0x64 (WO) : interrupt acknowledge register
|
|
Clear an interrupt. The value will be cleared from the interrupt
|
|
status register. This needs to be done from the ISR to stop
|
|
generating interrupts.
|
|
|
|
0x80 (RW) : DMA source address
|
|
Where to perform the DMA from.
|
|
|
|
0x88 (RW) : DMA destination address
|
|
Where to perform the DMA to.
|
|
|
|
0x90 (RW) : DMA transfer count
|
|
The size of the area to perform the DMA on.
|
|
|
|
0x98 (RW) : DMA command register, bitwise OR
|
|
0x01 -- start transfer
|
|
0x02 -- direction (0: from RAM to EDU, 1: from EDU to RAM)
|
|
0x04 -- raise interrupt 0x100 after finishing the DMA
|
|
|
|
IRQ controller
|
|
--------------
|
|
An IRQ is generated when written to the interrupt raise register. The value
|
|
appears in interrupt status register when the interrupt is raised and has to
|
|
be written to the interrupt acknowledge register to lower it.
|
|
|
|
The device supports both INTx and MSI interrupt. By default, INTx is
|
|
used. Even if the driver disabled INTx and only uses MSI, it still
|
|
needs to update the acknowledge register at the end of the IRQ handler
|
|
routine.
|
|
|
|
DMA controller
|
|
--------------
|
|
One has to specify, source, destination, size, and start the transfer. One
|
|
4096 bytes long buffer at offset 0x40000 is available in the EDU device. I.e.
|
|
one can perform DMA to/from this space when programmed properly.
|
|
|
|
Example of transferring a 100 byte block to and from the buffer using a given
|
|
PCI address 'addr':
|
|
addr -> DMA source address
|
|
0x40000 -> DMA destination address
|
|
100 -> DMA transfer count
|
|
1 -> DMA command register
|
|
while (DMA command register & 1)
|
|
;
|
|
|
|
0x40000 -> DMA source address
|
|
addr+100 -> DMA destination address
|
|
100 -> DMA transfer count
|
|
3 -> DMA command register
|
|
while (DMA command register & 1)
|
|
;
