documentation: fpga: move fpga-region.txt to driver-api
Move Documentation/fpga/fpga-region.txt to driver-api/fpga/fpga-region.rst. Including: - Add it to driver-api/fpga/index.rst - Formatting changes to build cleanly as ReST documentation - Some rewrites for better flow as a ReST doc such as moving API reference to the end of the doc - Rewrite API reference section to refer to kernel-doc documentation in fpga-region.c driver code Signed-off-by: Alan Tull <atull@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

FPGA Region
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
This document is meant to be an brief overview of the FPGA region API usage. A
|
||||
more conceptual look at regions can be found in the Device Tree binding
|
||||
document [#f1]_.
|
||||
|
||||
For the purposes of this API document, let's just say that a region associates
|
||||
an FPGA Manager and a bridge (or bridges) with a reprogrammable region of an
|
||||
FPGA or the whole FPGA. The API provides a way to register a region and to
|
||||
program a region.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently the only layer above fpga-region.c in the kernel is the Device Tree
|
||||
support (of-fpga-region.c) described in [#f1]_. The DT support layer uses regions
|
||||
to program the FPGA and then DT to handle enumeration. The common region code
|
||||
is intended to be used by other schemes that have other ways of accomplishing
|
||||
enumeration after programming.
|
||||
|
||||
An fpga-region can be set up to know the following things:
|
||||
|
||||
* which FPGA manager to use to do the programming
|
||||
|
||||
* which bridges to disable before programming and enable afterwards.
|
||||
|
||||
Additional info needed to program the FPGA image is passed in the struct
|
||||
fpga_image_info including:
|
||||
|
||||
* pointers to the image as either a scatter-gather buffer, a contiguous
|
||||
buffer, or the name of firmware file
|
||||
|
||||
* flags indicating specifics such as whether the image if for partial
|
||||
reconfiguration.
|
||||
|
||||
How to program a FPGA using a region
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
First, allocate the info struct::
|
||||
|
||||
info = fpga_image_info_alloc(dev);
|
||||
if (!info)
|
||||
return -ENOMEM;
|
||||
|
||||
Set flags as needed, i.e.::
|
||||
|
||||
info->flags |= FPGA_MGR_PARTIAL_RECONFIG;
|
||||
|
||||
Point to your FPGA image, such as::
|
||||
|
||||
info->sgt = &sgt;
|
||||
|
||||
Add info to region and do the programming::
|
||||
|
||||
region->info = info;
|
||||
ret = fpga_region_program_fpga(region);
|
||||
|
||||
:c:func:`fpga_region_program_fpga()` operates on info passed in the
|
||||
fpga_image_info (region->info). This function will attempt to:
|
||||
|
||||
* lock the region's mutex
|
||||
* lock the region's FPGA manager
|
||||
* build a list of FPGA bridges if a method has been specified to do so
|
||||
* disable the bridges
|
||||
* program the FPGA
|
||||
* re-enable the bridges
|
||||
* release the locks
|
||||
|
||||
Then you will want to enumerate whatever hardware has appeared in the FPGA.

Introduction
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
This document is meant to be an brief overview of the FPGA region API usage. A
|
||||
more conceptual look at regions can be found in [1].
|
||||
|
||||
For the purposes of this API document, let's just say that a region associates
|
||||
an FPGA Manager and a bridge (or bridges) with a reprogrammable region of an
|
||||
FPGA or the whole FPGA. The API provides a way to register a region and to
|
||||
program a region.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently the only layer above fpga-region.c in the kernel is the Device Tree
|
||||
support (of-fpga-region.c) described in [1]. The DT support layer uses regions
|
||||
to program the FPGA and then DT to handle enumeration. The common region code
|
||||
is intended to be used by other schemes that have other ways of accomplishing
|
||||
enumeration after programming.
|
||||
|
||||
An fpga-region can be set up to know the following things:
|
||||
* which FPGA manager to use to do the programming
|
||||
* which bridges to disable before programming and enable afterwards.
|
||||
|
||||
Additional info needed to program the FPGA image is passed in the struct
|
||||
fpga_image_info [2] including:
|
||||
* pointers to the image as either a scatter-gather buffer, a contiguous
|
||||
buffer, or the name of firmware file
|
||||
* flags indicating specifics such as whether the image if for partial
|
||||
reconfiguration.

===================
|
||||
The FPGA region API
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
To register or unregister a region:
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
int fpga_region_register(struct fpga_region *region);
|
||||
int fpga_region_unregister(struct fpga_region *region);
|
||||
|
||||
An example of usage can be seen in the probe function of [3]
|
||||
|
||||
To program an FPGA:
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
int fpga_region_program_fpga(struct fpga_region *region);
|
||||
|
||||
This function operates on info passed in the fpga_image_info
|
||||
(region->info).
|
||||
|
||||
This function will attempt to:
|
||||
* lock the region's mutex
|
||||
* lock the region's FPGA manager
|
||||
* build a list of FPGA bridges if a method has been specified to do so
|
||||
* disable the bridges
|
||||
* program the FPGA
|
||||
* re-enable the bridges
|
||||
* release the locks
|
||||
|
||||
=============
|
||||
Usage example
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
First, allocate the info struct:
|
||||
|
||||
info = fpga_image_info_alloc(dev);
|
||||
if (!info)
|
||||
return -ENOMEM;
|
||||
|
||||
Set flags as needed, i.e.
|
||||
|
||||
info->flags |= FPGA_MGR_PARTIAL_RECONFIG;
|
||||
|
||||
Point to your FPGA image, such as:
|
||||
|
||||
info->sgt = &sgt;
|
||||
|
||||
Add info to region and do the programming:
|
||||
|
||||
region->info = info;
|
||||
ret = fpga_region_program_fpga(region);
|
||||
|
||||
Then enumerate whatever hardware has appeared in the FPGA.
