See QEMU `CAN emulation support <https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/devices/can.html>`_ +for CAN FD buses, host connection and CTU CAN FD core emulation. The development +version of emulation support can be cloned from ctu-canfd branch of QEMU local +development `repository <https://gitlab.fel.cvut.cz/canbus/qemu-canbus>`_. + + +About SocketCAN +--------------- + +SocketCAN is a standard common interface for CAN devices in the Linux +kernel. As the name suggests, the bus is accessed via sockets, similarly +to common network devices. The reasoning behind this is in depth +described in `Linux SocketCAN <https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/can.html>`_. +In short, it offers a +natural way to implement and work with higher layer protocols over CAN, +in the same way as, e.g., UDP/IP over Ethernet. + +Device probe +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Before going into detail about the structure of a CAN bus device driver, +let's reiterate how the kernel gets to know about the device at all. +Some buses, like PCI or PCIe, support device enumeration. That is, when +the system boots, it discovers all the devices on the bus and reads +their configuration. The kernel identifies the device via its vendor ID +and device ID, and if there is a driver registered for this identifier +combination, its probe method is invoked to populate the driver's +instance for the given hardware. A similar situation goes with USB, only +it allows for device hot-plug. + +The situation is different for peripherals which are directly embedded +in the SoC and connected to an internal system bus (AXI, APB, Avalon, +and others). These buses do not support enumeration, and thus the kernel +has to learn about the devices from elsewhere. This is exactly what the +Device Tree was made for. + +Device tree +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +An entry in device tree states that a device exists in the system, how +it is reachable (on which bus it resides) and its configuration – +registers address, interrupts and so on. An example of such a device +tree is given in . + +:: + + / { + /* ... */ + amba: amba { + #address-cells = <1>; + #size-cells = <1>; + compatible = "simple-bus"; + + CTU_CAN_FD_0: CTU_CAN_FD@43c30000 { + compatible = "ctu,ctucanfd"; + interrupt-parent = <&intc>; + interrupts = <0 30 4>; + clocks = <&clkc 15>; + reg = <0x43c30000 0x10000>; + }; + }; + }; + + +.. _sec:socketcan:drv: + +Driver structure +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The driver can be divided into two parts – platform-dependent device +discovery and set up, and platform-independent CAN network device +implementation. + +.. _sec:socketcan:platdev: + +Platform device driver +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +In the case of Zynq, the core is connected via the AXI system bus, which +does not have enumeration support, and the device must be specified in +Device Tree. This kind of devices is called *platform device* in the +kernel and is handled by a *platform device driver*\ [1]_. + +A platform device driver provides the following things: + +- A *probe* function + +- A *remove* function + +- A table of *compatible* devices that the driver can handle + +The *probe* function is called exactly once when the device appears (or +the driver is loaded, whichever happens later). If there are more +devices handled by the same driver, the *probe* function is called for +each one of them. Its role is to allocate and initialize resources +required for handling the device, as well as set up low-level functions +for the platform-independent layer, e.g., *read_reg* and *write_reg*. +After that, the driver registers the device to a higher layer, in our +case as a *network device*. + +The *remove* function is called when the device disappears, or the +driver is about to be unloaded. It serves to free the resources +allocated in *probe* and to unregister the device from higher layers. + +Finally, the table of *compatible* devices states which devices the +driver can handle. The Device Tree entry ``compatible`` is matched +against the tables of all *platform drivers*. + +.. code:: c + + /* Match table for OF platform binding */ + static const struct of_device_id ctucan_of_match[] = { + { .compatible = "ctu,canfd-2", }, + { .compatible = "ctu,ctucanfd", }, + { /* end of list */ }, + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ctucan_of_match); + + static int ctucan_probe(struct platform_device *pdev); + static int ctucan_remove(struct platform_device *pdev); + + static struct platform_driver ctucanfd_driver = { + .probe = ctucan_probe, + .remove = ctucan_remove, + .driver = { + .name = DRIVER_NAME, + .of_match_table = ctucan_of_match, + }, + }; + module_platform_driver(ctucanfd_driver); + + +.. _sec:socketcan:netdev: + +Network device driver +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Each network device must support at least these operations: + +- Bring the device up: ``ndo_open`` + +- Bring the device down: ``ndo_close`` + +- Submit TX frames to the device: ``ndo_start_xmit`` + +- Signal TX completion and errors to the network subsystem: ISR + +- Submit RX frames to the network subsystem: ISR and NAPI + +There are two possible event sources: the device and the network +subsystem. Device events are usually signaled via an interrupt, handled +in an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR). Handlers for the events +originating in the network subsystem are then specified in +``struct net_device_ops``. + +When the device is brought up, e.g., by calling ``ip link set can0 up``, +the driver’s function ``ndo_open`` is called. It should validate the +interface configuration and configure and enable the device. The +analogous opposite is ``ndo_close``, called when the device is being +brought down, be it explicitly or implicitly. + +When the system should transmit a frame, it does so by calling +``ndo_start_xmit``, which enqueues the frame into the device. If the +device HW queue (FIFO, mailboxes or whatever the implementation is) +becomes full, the ``ndo_start_xmit`` implementation informs the network +subsystem that it should stop the TX queue (via ``netif_stop_queue``). +It is then re-enabled later in ISR when the device has some space +available again and is able to enqueue another frame. + +All the device events are handled in ISR, namely: + +#. **TX completion**. When the device successfully finishes transmitting + a frame, the frame is echoed locally. On error, an informative error + frame [2]_ is sent to the network subsystem instead. In both cases, + the software TX queue is resumed so that more frames may be sent. + +#. **Error condition**. If something goes wrong (e.g., the device goes + bus-off or RX overrun happens), error counters are updated, and + informative error frames are enqueued to SW RX queue. + +#. **RX buffer not empty**. In this case, read the RX frames and enqueue + them to SW RX queue. Usually NAPI is used as a middle layer (see ). + +.. _sec:socketcan:napi: + +NAPI +~~~~ + +The frequency of incoming frames can be high and the overhead to invoke +the interrupt service routine for each frame can cause significant +system load. There are multiple mechanisms in the Linux kernel to deal +with this situation. They evolved over the years of Linux kernel +development and enhancements. For network devices, the current standard +is NAPI – *the New API*. It is similar to classical top-half/bottom-half +interrupt handling in that it only acknowledges the interrupt in the ISR +and signals that the rest of the processing should be done in softirq +context. On top of that, it offers the possibility to *poll* for new +frames for a while. This has a potential to avoid the costly round of +enabling interrupts, handling an incoming IRQ in ISR, re-enabling the +softirq and switching context back to softirq. + +More detailed documentation of NAPI may be found on the pages of Linux +Foundation `<https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi>`_. + +Integrating the core to Xilinx Zynq +----------------------------------- + +The core interfaces a simple subset of the Avalon +(search for Intel **Avalon Interface Specifications**) +bus as it was originally used on +Alterra FPGA chips, yet Xilinx natively interfaces with AXI +(search for ARM **AMBA AXI and ACE Protocol Specification AXI3, +AXI4, and AXI4-Lite, ACE and ACE-Lite**). +The most obvious solution would be to use +an Avalon/AXI bridge or implement some simple conversion entity. +However, the core’s interface is half-duplex with no handshake +signaling, whereas AXI is full duplex with two-way signaling. Moreover, +even AXI-Lite slave interface is quite resource-intensive, and the +flexibility and speed of AXI are not required for a CAN core. + +Thus a much simpler bus was chosen – APB (Advanced Peripheral Bus) +(search for ARM **AMBA APB Protocol Specification**). +APB-AXI bridge is directly available in +Xilinx Vivado, and the interface adaptor entity is just a few simple +combinatorial assignments. + +Finally, to be able to include the core in a block diagram as a custom +IP, the core, together with the APB interface, has been packaged as a +Vivado component. + +CTU CAN FD Driver design +------------------------ + +The general structure of a CAN device driver has already been examined +in . The next paragraphs provide a more detailed description of the CTU +CAN FD core driver in particular. + +Low-level driver +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The core is not intended to be used solely with SocketCAN, and thus it +is desirable to have an OS-independent low-level driver. This low-level +driver can then be used in implementations of OS driver or directly +either on bare metal or in a user-space application. Another advantage +is that if the hardware slightly changes, only the low-level driver +needs to be modified. + +The code [3]_ is in part automatically generated and in part written +manually by the core author, with contributions of the thesis’ author. +The low-level driver supports operations such as: set bit timing, set +controller mode, enable/disable, read RX frame, write TX frame, and so +on. + +Configuring bit timing +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +On CAN, each bit is divided into four segments: SYNC, PROP, PHASE1, and +PHASE2. Their duration is expressed in multiples of a Time Quantum +(details in `CAN Specification, Version 2.0 <http://esd.cs.ucr.edu/webres/can20.pdf>`_, chapter 8). +When configuring +bitrate, the durations of all the segments (and time quantum) must be +computed from the bitrate and Sample Point. This is performed +independently for both the Nominal bitrate and Data bitrate for CAN FD. + +SocketCAN is fairly flexible and offers either highly customized +configuration by setting all the segment durations manually, or a +convenient configuration by setting just the bitrate and sample point +(and even that is chosen automatically per Bosch recommendation if not +specified). However, each CAN controller may have different base clock +frequency and different width of segment duration registers. The +algorithm thus needs the minimum and maximum values for the durations +(and clock prescaler) and tries to optimize the numbers to fit both the +constraints and the requested parameters. + +.. code:: c + + struct can_bittiming_const { + char name[16]; /* Name of the CAN controller hardware */ + __u32 tseg1_min; /* Time segment 1 = prop_seg + phase_seg1 */ + __u32 tseg1_max; + __u32 tseg2_min; /* Time segment 2 = phase_seg2 */ + __u32 tseg2_max; + __u32 sjw_max; /* Synchronisation jump width */ + __u32 brp_min; /* Bit-rate prescaler */ + __u32 brp_max; + __u32 brp_inc; + }; + + +[lst:can_bittiming_const] + +A curious reader will notice that the durations of the segments PROP_SEG +and PHASE_SEG1 are not determined separately but rather combined and +then, by default, the resulting TSEG1 is evenly divided between PROP_SEG +and PHASE_SEG1. In practice, this has virtually no consequences as the +sample point is between PHASE_SEG1 and PHASE_SEG2. In CTU CAN FD, +however, the duration registers ``PROP`` and ``PH1`` have different +widths (6 and 7 bits, respectively), so the auto-computed values might +overflow the shorter register and must thus be redistributed among the +two [4]_. + +Handling RX +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Frame reception is handled in NAPI queue, which is enabled from ISR when +the RXNE (RX FIFO Not Empty) bit is set. Frames are read one by one +until either no frame is left in the RX FIFO or the maximum work quota +has been reached for the NAPI poll run (see ). Each frame is then passed +to the network interface RX queue. + +An incoming frame may be either a CAN 2.0 frame or a CAN FD frame. The +way to distinguish between these two in the kernel is to allocate either +``struct can_frame`` or ``struct canfd_frame``, the two having different +sizes. In the controller, the information about the frame type is stored +in the first word of RX FIFO. + +This brings us a chicken-egg problem: we want to allocate the ``skb`` +for the frame, and only if it succeeds, fetch the frame from FIFO; +otherwise keep it there for later. But to be able to allocate the +correct ``skb``, we have to fetch the first work of FIFO. There are +several possible solutions: + +#. Read the word, then allocate. If it fails, discard the rest of the + frame. When the system is low on memory, the situation is bad anyway. + +#. Always allocate ``skb`` big enough for an FD frame beforehand. Then + tweak the ``skb`` internals to look like it has been allocated for + the smaller CAN 2.0 frame. + +#. Add option to peek into the FIFO instead of consuming the word. + +#. If the allocation fails, store the read word into driver’s data. On + the next try, use the stored word instead of reading it again. + +Option 1 is simple enough, but not very satisfying if we could do +better. Option 2 is not acceptable, as it would require modifying the +private state of an integral kernel structure. The slightly higher +memory consumption is just a virtual cherry on top of the “cake”. Option +3 requires non-trivial HW changes and is not ideal from the HW point of +view. + +Option 4 seems like a good compromise, with its disadvantage being that +a partial frame may stay in the FIFO for a prolonged time. Nonetheless, +there may be just one owner of the RX FIFO, and thus no one else should +see the partial frame (disregarding some exotic debugging scenarios). +Basides, the driver resets the core on its initialization, so the +partial frame cannot be “adopted” either. In the end, option 4 was +selected [5]_. + +.. _subsec:ctucanfd:rxtimestamp: + +Timestamping RX frames +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The CTU CAN FD core reports the exact timestamp when the frame has been +received. The timestamp is by default captured at the sample point of +the last bit of EOF but is configurable to be captured at the SOF bit. +The timestamp source is external to the core and may be up to 64 bits +wide. At the time of writing, passing the timestamp from kernel to +userspace is not yet implemented, but is planned in the future. + +Handling TX +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The CTU CAN FD core has 4 independent TX buffers, each with its own +state and priority. When the core wants to transmit, a TX buffer in +Ready state with the highest priority is selected. + +The priorities are 3bit numbers in register TX_PRIORITY +(nibble-aligned). This should be flexible enough for most use cases. +SocketCAN, however, supports only one FIFO queue for outgoing +frames [6]_. The buffer priorities may be used to simulate the FIFO +behavior by assigning each buffer a distinct priority and *rotating* the +priorities after a frame transmission is completed. + +In addition to priority rotation, the SW must maintain head and tail +pointers into the FIFO formed by the TX buffers to be able to determine +which buffer should be used for next frame (``txb_head``) and which +should be the first completed one (``txb_tail``). The actual buffer +indices are (obviously) modulo 4 (number of TX buffers), but the +pointers must be at least one bit wider to be able to distinguish +between FIFO full and FIFO empty – in this situation, +:math:`txb\_head \equiv txb\_tail\ (\textrm{mod}\ 4)`. An example of how +the FIFO is maintained, together with priority rotation, is depicted in + +| + ++------+---+---+---+---+ +| TXB# | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | ++======+===+===+===+===+ +| Seq | A | B | C | | ++------+---+---+---+---+ +| Prio | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | ++------+---+---+---+---+ +| | | T | | H | ++------+---+---+---+---+ + +| + ++------+---+---+---+---+ +| TXB# | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | ++======+===+===+===+===+ +| Seq | | B | C | | ++------+---+---+---+---+ +| Prio | 4 | 7 | 6 | 5 | ++------+---+---+---+---+ +| | | T | | H | ++------+---+---+---+---+ + +| + ++------+---+---+---+---+----+ +| TXB# | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 0’ | ++======+===+===+===+===+====+ +| Seq | E | B | C | D | | ++------+---+---+---+---+----+ +| Prio | 4 | 7 | 6 | 5 | | ++------+---+---+---+---+----+ +| | | T | | | H | ++------+---+---+---+---+----+ + +| + +.. kernel-figure:: fsm_txt_buffer_user.svg + + TX Buffer states with possible transitions + +.. _subsec:ctucanfd:txtimestamp: + +Timestamping TX frames +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +When submitting a frame to a TX buffer, one may specify the timestamp at +which the frame should be transmitted. The frame transmission may start +later, but not sooner. Note that the timestamp does not participate in +buffer prioritization – that is decided solely by the mechanism +described above. + +Support for time-based packet transmission was recently merged to Linux +v4.19 `Time-based packet transmission <https://lwn.net/Articles/748879/>`_, +but it remains yet to be researched +whether this functionality will be practical for CAN. + +Also similarly to retrieving the timestamp of RX frames, the core +supports retrieving the timestamp of TX frames – that is the time when +the frame was successfully delivered. The particulars are very similar +to timestamping RX frames and are described in . + +Handling RX buffer overrun +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +When a received frame does no more fit into the hardware RX FIFO in its +entirety, RX FIFO overrun flag (STATUS[DOR]) is set and Data Overrun +Interrupt (DOI) is triggered. When servicing the interrupt, care must be +taken first to clear the DOR flag (via COMMAND[CDO]) and after that +clear the DOI interrupt flag. Otherwise, the interrupt would be +immediately [7]_ rearmed. + +**Note**: During development, it was discussed whether the internal HW +pipelining cannot disrupt this clear sequence and whether an additional +dummy cycle is necessary between clearing the flag and the interrupt. On +the Avalon interface, it indeed proved to be the case, but APB being +safe because it uses 2-cycle transactions. Essentially, the DOR flag +would be cleared, but DOI register’s Preset input would still be high +the cycle when the DOI clear request would also be applied (by setting +the register’s Reset input high). As Set had higher priority than Reset, +the DOI flag would not be reset. This has been already fixed by swapping +the Set/Reset priority (see issue #187). + +Reporting Error Passive and Bus Off conditions +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +It may be desirable to report when the node reaches *Error Passive*, +*Error Warning*, and *Bus Off* conditions. The driver is notified about +error state change by an interrupt (EPI, EWLI), and then proceeds to +determine the core’s error state by reading its error counters. + +There is, however, a slight race condition here – there is a delay +between the time when the state transition occurs (and the interrupt is +triggered) and when the error counters are read. When EPI is received, +the node may be either *Error Passive* or *Bus Off*. If the node goes +*Bus Off*, it obviously remains in the state until it is reset. +Otherwise, the node is *or was* *Error Passive*. However, it may happen +that the read state is *Error Warning* or even *Error Active*. It may be +unclear whether and what exactly to report in that case, but I +personally entertain the idea that the past error condition should still +be reported. Similarly, when EWLI is received but the state is later +detected to be *Error Passive*, *Error Passive* should be reported. + + +CTU CAN FD Driver Sources Reference +----------------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/net/can/ctucanfd/ctucanfd.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/net/can/ctucanfd/ctucanfd_base.c + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/net/can/ctucanfd/ctucanfd_pci.c + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/net/can/ctucanfd/ctucanfd_platform.c + :internal: + +CTU CAN FD IP Core and Driver Development Acknowledgment +--------------------------------------------------------- + +* Odrej Ille <ondrej.ille@gmail.com> + + * started the project as student at Department of Measurement, FEE, CTU + * invested great amount of personal time and enthusiasm to the project over years + * worked on more funded tasks + +* `Department of Measurement <https://meas.fel.cvut.cz/>`_, + `Faculty of Electrical Engineering <http://www.fel.cvut.cz/en/>`_, + `Czech Technical University <https://www.cvut.cz/en>`_ + + * is the main investor into the project over many years + * uses project in their CAN/CAN FD diagnostics framework for `Skoda Auto <https://www.skoda-auto.cz/>`_ + +* `Digiteq Automotive <https://www.digiteqautomotive.com/en>`_ + + * funding of the project CAN FD Open Cores Support Linux Kernel Based Systems + * negotiated and paid CTU to allow public access to the project + * provided additional funding of the work + +* `Department of Control Engineering <https://control.fel.cvut.cz/en>`_, + `Faculty of Electrical Engineering <http://www.fel.cvut.cz/en/>`_, + `Czech Technical University <https://www.cvut.cz/en>`_ + + * solving the project CAN FD Open Cores Support Linux Kernel Based Systems + * providing GitLab management + * virtual servers and computational power for continuous integration + * providing hardware for HIL continuous integration tests + +* `PiKRON Ltd. <http://pikron.com/>`_ + + * minor funding to initiate preparation of the project open-sourcing + +* Petr Porazil <porazil@pikron.com> + + * design of PCIe transceiver addon board and assembly of boards + * design and assembly of MZ_APO baseboard for MicroZed/Zynq based system + +* Martin Jerabek <martin.jerabek01@gmail.com> + + * Linux driver development + * continuous integration platform architect and GHDL updates + * theses `Open-source and Open-hardware CAN FD Protocol Support <https://dspace.cvut.cz/bitstream/handle/10467/80366/F3-DP-2019-Jerabek-Martin-Jerabek-thesis-2019-canfd.pdf>`_ + +* Jiri Novak <jnovak@fel.cvut.cz> + + * project initiation, management and use at Department of Measurement, FEE, CTU + +* Pavel Pisa <pisa@cmp.felk.cvut.cz> + + * initiate open-sourcing, project coordination, management at Department of Control Engineering, FEE, CTU + +* Jaroslav Beran<jara.beran@gmail.com> + + * system integration for Intel SoC, core and driver testing and updates + +* Carsten Emde (`OSADL <https://www.osadl.org/>`_) + + * provided OSADL expertise to discuss IP core licensing + * pointed to possible deadlock for LGPL and CAN bus possible patent case which lead to relicense IP core design to BSD like license + +* Reiner Zitzmann and Holger Zeltwanger (`CAN in Automation <https://www.can-cia.org/>`_) + + * provided suggestions and help to inform community about the project and invited us to events focused on CAN bus future development directions + +* Jan Charvat + + * implemented CTU CAN FD functional model for QEMU which has been integrated into QEMU mainline (`docs/system/devices/can.rst <https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/devices/can.html>`_) + * Bachelor theses Model of CAN FD Communication Controller for QEMU Emulator + +Notes +----- + + +..

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 - -=================================== -DEC EtherWORKS Ethernet De4x5 cards -=================================== - - Originally, this driver was written for the Digital Equipment - Corporation series of EtherWORKS Ethernet cards: - - - DE425 TP/COAX EISA - - DE434 TP PCI - - DE435 TP/COAX/AUI PCI - - DE450 TP/COAX/AUI PCI - - DE500 10/100 PCI Fasternet - - but it will now attempt to support all cards which conform to the - Digital Semiconductor SROM Specification. The driver currently - recognises the following chips: - - - DC21040 (no SROM) - - DC21041[A] - - DC21140[A] - - DC21142 - - DC21143 - - So far the driver is known to work with the following cards: - - - KINGSTON - - Linksys - - ZNYX342 - - SMC8432 - - SMC9332 (w/new SROM) - - ZNYX31[45] - - ZNYX346 10/100 4 port (can act as a 10/100 bridge!) - - The driver has been tested on a relatively busy network using the DE425, - DE434, DE435 and DE500 cards and benchmarked with 'ttcp': it transferred - 16M of data to a DECstation 5000/200 as follows:: - - TCP UDP - TX RX TX RX - DE425 1030k 997k 1170k 1128k - DE434 1063k 995k 1170k 1125k - DE435 1063k 995k 1170k 1125k - DE500 1063k 998k 1170k 1125k in 10Mb/s mode - - All values are typical (in kBytes/sec) from a sample of 4 for each - measurement. Their error is +/-20k on a quiet (private) network and also - depend on what load the CPU has. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - The ability to load this driver as a loadable module has been included - and used extensively during the driver development (to save those long - reboot sequences). Loadable module support under PCI and EISA has been - achieved by letting the driver autoprobe as if it were compiled into the - kernel. Do make sure you're not sharing interrupts with anything that - cannot accommodate interrupt sharing! - - To utilise this ability, you have to do 8 things: - - 0) have a copy of the loadable modules code installed on your system. - 1) copy de4x5.c from the /linux/drivers/net directory to your favourite - temporary directory. - 2) for fixed autoprobes (not recommended), edit the source code near - line 5594 to reflect the I/O address you're using, or assign these when - loading by:: - - insmod de4x5 io=0xghh where g = bus number - hh = device number - - .. note:: - - autoprobing for modules is now supported by default. You may just - use:: - - insmod de4x5 - - to load all available boards. For a specific board, still use - the 'io=?' above. - 3) compile de4x5.c, but include -DMODULE in the command line to ensure - that the correct bits are compiled (see end of source code). - 4) if you are wanting to add a new card, goto 5. Otherwise, recompile a - kernel with the de4x5 configuration turned off and reboot. - 5) insmod de4x5 [io=0xghh] - 6) run the net startup bits for your new eth?? interface(s) manually - (usually /etc/rc.inet[12] at boot time). - 7) enjoy! - - To unload a module, turn off the associated interface(s) - 'ifconfig eth?? down' then 'rmmod de4x5'. - - Automedia detection is included so that in principle you can disconnect - from, e.g. TP, reconnect to BNC and things will still work (after a - pause while the driver figures out where its media went). My tests - using ping showed that it appears to work.... - - By default, the driver will now autodetect any DECchip based card. - Should you have a need to restrict the driver to DIGITAL only cards, you - can compile with a DEC_ONLY define, or if loading as a module, use the - 'dec_only=1' parameter. - - I've changed the timing routines to use the kernel timer and scheduling - functions so that the hangs and other assorted problems that occurred - while autosensing the media should be gone. A bonus for the DC21040 - auto media sense algorithm is that it can now use one that is more in - line with the rest (the DC21040 chip doesn't have a hardware timer). - The downside is the 1 'jiffies' (10ms) resolution. - - IEEE 802.3u MII interface code has been added in anticipation that some - products may use it in the future. - - The SMC9332 card has a non-compliant SROM which needs fixing - I have - patched this driver to detect it because the SROM format used complies - to a previous DEC-STD format. - - I have removed the buffer copies needed for receive on Intels. I cannot - remove them for Alphas since the Tulip hardware only does longword - aligned DMA transfers and the Alphas get alignment traps with non - longword aligned data copies (which makes them really slow). No comment. - - I have added SROM decoding routines to make this driver work with any - card that supports the Digital Semiconductor SROM spec. This will help - all cards running the dc2114x series chips in particular. Cards using - the dc2104x chips should run correctly with the basic driver. I'm in - debt to <mjacob@feral.com> for the testing and feedback that helped get - this feature working. So far we have tested KINGSTON, SMC8432, SMC9332 - (with the latest SROM complying with the SROM spec V3: their first was - broken), ZNYX342 and LinkSys. ZNYX314 (dual 21041 MAC) and ZNYX 315 - (quad 21041 MAC) cards also appear to work despite their incorrectly - wired IRQs. - - I have added a temporary fix for interrupt problems when some SCSI cards - share the same interrupt as the DECchip based cards. The problem occurs - because the SCSI card wants to grab the interrupt as a fast interrupt - (runs the service routine with interrupts turned off) vs. this card - which really needs to run the service routine with interrupts turned on. - This driver will now add the interrupt service routine as a fast - interrupt if it is bounced from the slow interrupt. THIS IS NOT A - RECOMMENDED WAY TO RUN THE DRIVER and has been done for a limited time - until people sort out their compatibility issues and the kernel - interrupt service code is fixed. YOU SHOULD SEPARATE OUT THE FAST - INTERRUPT CARDS FROM THE SLOW INTERRUPT CARDS to ensure that they do not - run on the same interrupt. PCMCIA/CardBus is another can of worms... - - Finally, I think I have really fixed the module loading problem with - more than one DECchip based card. As a side effect, I don't mess with - the device structure any more which means that if more than 1 card in - 2.0.x is installed (4 in 2.1.x), the user will have to edit - linux/drivers/net/Space.c to make room for them. Hence, module loading - is the preferred way to use this driver, since it doesn't have this - limitation. - - Where SROM media detection is used and full duplex is specified in the - SROM, the feature is ignored unless lp->params.fdx is set at compile - time OR during a module load (insmod de4x5 args='eth??:fdx' [see - below]). This is because there is no way to automatically detect full - duplex links except through autonegotiation. When I include the - autonegotiation feature in the SROM autoconf code, this detection will - occur automatically for that case. - - Command line arguments are now allowed, similar to passing arguments - through LILO. This will allow a per adapter board set up of full duplex - and media. The only lexical constraints are: the board name (dev->name) - appears in the list before its parameters. The list of parameters ends - either at the end of the parameter list or with another board name. The - following parameters are allowed: - - ========= =============================================== - fdx for full duplex - autosense to set the media/speed; with the following - sub-parameters: - TP, TP_NW, BNC, AUI, BNC_AUI, 100Mb, 10Mb, AUTO - ========= =============================================== - - Case sensitivity is important for the sub-parameters. They *must* be - upper case. Examples:: - - insmod de4x5 args='eth1:fdx autosense=BNC eth0:autosense=100Mb'. - - For a compiled in driver, in linux/drivers/net/CONFIG, place e.g.:: - - DE4X5_OPTS = -DDE4X5_PARM='"eth0:fdx autosense=AUI eth2:autosense=TP"' - - Yes, I know full duplex isn't permissible on BNC or AUI; they're just - examples. By default, full duplex is turned off and AUTO is the default - autosense setting. In reality, I expect only the full duplex option to - be used. Note the use of single quotes in the two examples above and the - lack of commas to separate items. diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/index.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/index.rst index 6b5dc203da2b..4e06684d079b 100644 --- a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/index.rst @@ -19,7 +19,6 @@ Contents: cirrus/cs89x0 dlink/dl2k davicom/dm9000 - dec/de4x5 dec/dmfe freescale/dpaa freescale/dpaa2/index @@ -39,6 +38,7 @@ Contents: intel/iavf intel/ice marvell/octeontx2 + marvell/octeon_ep mellanox/mlx5 microsoft/netvsc neterion/s2io diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/marvell/octeon_ep.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/marvell/octeon_ep.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..bc562c49011b --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/marvell/octeon_ep.rst @@ -0,0 +1,35 @@ +..

The kernel provides a -core interface layer that is designed to make it easy to provide WAN -services using this chip. - -The current driver only support synchronous operation. Merging the -asynchronous driver support into this code to allow any Z85x30 device to -be used as both a tty interface and as a synchronous controller is a -project for Linux post the 2.4 release - -Driver Modes -============ - -The Z85230 driver layer can drive Z8530, Z85C30 and Z85230 devices in -three different modes. Each mode can be applied to an individual channel -on the chip (each chip has two channels). - -The PIO synchronous mode supports the most common Z8530 wiring. Here the -chip is interface to the I/O and interrupt facilities of the host -machine but not to the DMA subsystem. When running PIO the Z8530 has -extremely tight timing requirements. Doing high speeds, even with a -Z85230 will be tricky. Typically you should expect to achieve at best -9600 baud with a Z8C530 and 64Kbits with a Z85230. - -The DMA mode supports the chip when it is configured to use dual DMA -channels on an ISA bus. The better cards tend to support this mode of -operation for a single channel. With DMA running the Z85230 tops out -when it starts to hit ISA DMA constraints at about 512Kbits. It is worth -noting here that many PC machines hang or crash when the chip is driven -fast enough to hold the ISA bus solid. - -Transmit DMA mode uses a single DMA channel. The DMA channel is used for -transmission as the transmit FIFO is smaller than the receive FIFO. it -gives better performance than pure PIO mode but is nowhere near as ideal -as pure DMA mode. - -Using the Z85230 driver -======================= - -The Z85230 driver provides the back end interface to your board. To -configure a Z8530 interface you need to detect the board and to identify -its ports and interrupt resources. It is also your problem to verify the -resources are available. - -Having identified the chip you need to fill in a struct z8530_dev, -which describes each chip. This object must exist until you finally -shutdown the board. Firstly zero the active field. This ensures nothing -goes off without you intending it. The irq field should be set to the -interrupt number of the chip. (Each chip has a single interrupt source -rather than each channel). You are responsible for allocating the -interrupt line. The interrupt handler should be set to -:c:func:`z8530_interrupt()`. The device id should be set to the -z8530_dev structure pointer. Whether the interrupt can be shared or not -is board dependent, and up to you to initialise. - -The structure holds two channel structures. Initialise chanA.ctrlio and -chanA.dataio with the address of the control and data ports. You can or -this with Z8530_PORT_SLEEP to indicate your interface needs the 5uS -delay for chip settling done in software. The PORT_SLEEP option is -architecture specific. Other flags may become available on future -platforms, eg for MMIO. Initialise the chanA.irqs to &z8530_nop to -start the chip up as disabled and discarding interrupt events. This -ensures that stray interrupts will be mopped up and not hang the bus. -Set chanA.dev to point to the device structure itself. The private and -name field you may use as you wish. The private field is unused by the -Z85230 layer. The name is used for error reporting and it may thus make -sense to make it match the network name. - -Repeat the same operation with the B channel if your chip has both -channels wired to something useful. This isn't always the case. If it is -not wired then the I/O values do not matter, but you must initialise -chanB.dev. - -If your board has DMA facilities then initialise the txdma and rxdma -fields for the relevant channels. You must also allocate the ISA DMA -channels and do any necessary board level initialisation to configure -them. The low level driver will do the Z8530 and DMA controller -programming but not board specific magic. - -Having initialised the device you can then call -:c:func:`z8530_init()`. This will probe the chip and reset it into -a known state. An identification sequence is then run to identify the -chip type. If the checks fail to pass the function returns a non zero -error code. Typically this indicates that the port given is not valid. -After this call the type field of the z8530_dev structure is -initialised to either Z8530, Z85C30 or Z85230 according to the chip -found. - -Once you have called z8530_init you can also make use of the utility -function :c:func:`z8530_describe()`. This provides a consistent -reporting format for the Z8530 devices, and allows all the drivers to -provide consistent reporting. - -Attaching Network Interfaces -============================ - -If you wish to use the network interface facilities of the driver, then -you need to attach a network device to each channel that is present and -in use. In addition to use the generic HDLC you need to follow some -additional plumbing rules. They may seem complex but a look at the -example hostess_sv11 driver should reassure you. - -The network device used for each channel should be pointed to by the -netdevice field of each channel. The hdlc-> priv field of the network -device points to your private data - you will need to be able to find -your private data from this. - -The way most drivers approach this particular problem is to create a -structure holding the Z8530 device definition and put that into the -private field of the network device. The network device fields of the -channels then point back to the network devices. - -If you wish to use the generic HDLC then you need to register the HDLC -device. - -Before you register your network device you will also need to provide -suitable handlers for most of the network device callbacks. See the -network device documentation for more details on this. - -Configuring And Activating The Port -=================================== - -The Z85230 driver provides helper functions and tables to load the port -registers on the Z8530 chips. When programming the register settings for -a channel be aware that the documentation recommends initialisation -orders. Strange things happen when these are not followed. - -:c:func:`z8530_channel_load()` takes an array of pairs of -initialisation values in an array of u8 type. The first value is the -Z8530 register number. Add 16 to indicate the alternate register bank on -the later chips. The array is terminated by a 255. - -The driver provides a pair of public tables. The z8530_hdlc_kilostream -table is for the UK 'Kilostream' service and also happens to cover most -other end host configurations. The z8530_hdlc_kilostream_85230 table -is the same configuration using the enhancements of the 85230 chip. The -configuration loaded is standard NRZ encoded synchronous data with HDLC -bitstuffing. All of the timing is taken from the other end of the link. - -When writing your own tables be aware that the driver internally tracks -register values. It may need to reload values. You should therefore be -sure to set registers 1-7, 9-11, 14 and 15 in all configurations. Where -the register settings depend on DMA selection the driver will update the -bits itself when you open or close. Loading a new table with the -interface open is not recommended. - -There are three standard configurations supported by the core code. In -PIO mode the interface is programmed up to use interrupt driven PIO. -This places high demands on the host processor to avoid latency. The -driver is written to take account of latency issues but it cannot avoid -latencies caused by other drivers, notably IDE in PIO mode. Because the -drivers allocate buffers you must also prevent MTU changes while the -port is open. - -Once the port is open it will call the rx_function of each channel -whenever a completed packet arrived. This is invoked from interrupt -context and passes you the channel and a network buffer (struct -sk_buff) holding the data. The data includes the CRC bytes so most -users will want to trim the last two bytes before processing the data. -This function is very timing critical. When you wish to simply discard -data the support code provides the function -:c:func:`z8530_null_rx()` to discard the data. - -To active PIO mode sending and receiving the ``z8530_sync_open`` is called. -This expects to be passed the network device and the channel. Typically -this is called from your network device open callback. On a failure a -non zero error status is returned. -The :c:func:`z8530_sync_close()` function shuts down a PIO -channel. This must be done before the channel is opened again and before -the driver shuts down and unloads. - -The ideal mode of operation is dual channel DMA mode. Here the kernel -driver will configure the board for DMA in both directions. The driver -also handles ISA DMA issues such as controller programming and the -memory range limit for you. This mode is activated by calling the -:c:func:`z8530_sync_dma_open()` function. On failure a non zero -error value is returned. Once this mode is activated it can be shut down -by calling the :c:func:`z8530_sync_dma_close()`. You must call -the close function matching the open mode you used. - -The final supported mode uses a single DMA channel to drive the transmit -side. As the Z85C30 has a larger FIFO on the receive channel this tends -to increase the maximum speed a little. This is activated by calling the -``z8530_sync_txdma_open``. This returns a non zero error code on failure. The -:c:func:`z8530_sync_txdma_close()` function closes down the Z8530 -interface from this mode. - -Network Layer Functions -======================= - -The Z8530 layer provides functions to queue packets for transmission. -The driver internally buffers the frame currently being transmitted and -one further frame (in order to keep back to back transmission running). -Any further buffering is up to the caller. - -The function :c:func:`z8530_queue_xmit()` takes a network buffer -in sk_buff format and queues it for transmission. The caller must -provide the entire packet with the exception of the bitstuffing and CRC. -This is normally done by the caller via the generic HDLC interface -layer. It returns 0 if the buffer has been queued and non zero values -for queue full. If the function accepts the buffer it becomes property -of the Z8530 layer and the caller should not free it. - -The function :c:func:`z8530_get_stats()` returns a pointer to an -internally maintained per interface statistics block. This provides most -of the interface code needed to implement the network layer get_stats -callback. - -Porting The Z8530 Driver -======================== - -The Z8530 driver is written to be portable. In DMA mode it makes -assumptions about the use of ISA DMA. These are probably warranted in -most cases as the Z85230 in particular was designed to glue to PC type -machines. The PIO mode makes no real assumptions. - -Should you need to retarget the Z8530 driver to another architecture the -only code that should need changing are the port I/O functions. At the -moment these assume PC I/O port accesses. This may not be appropriate -for all platforms. Replacing :c:func:`z8530_read_port()` and -``z8530_write_port`` is intended to be all that is required to port -this driver layer. - -Known Bugs And Assumptions -========================== - -Interrupt Locking - The locking in the driver is done via the global cli/sti lock. This - makes for relatively poor SMP performance. Switching this to use a - per device spin lock would probably materially improve performance. - -Occasional Failures - We have reports of occasional failures when run for very long - periods of time and the driver starts to receive junk frames. At the - moment the cause of this is not clear. - -Public Functions Provided -========================= - -.. kernel-doc:: drivers/net/wan/z85230.c - :export: - -Internal Functions -================== - -.. kernel-doc:: drivers/net/wan/z85230.c - :internal: diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wwan/index.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wwan/index.rst index 1cb8c7371401..370d8264d5dc 100644 --- a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wwan/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wwan/index.rst @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ Contents: :maxdepth: 2 iosm + t7xx .. only:: subproject and html diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wwan/t7xx.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wwan/t7xx.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..dd5b731957ca --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wwan/t7xx.rst @@ -0,0 +1,120 @@ +..

Any front end +application (e.g. Modem Manager) could easily manage the MBIM interface to enable +data communication towards WWAN. The driver also provides an interface to interact +with the MediaTek's modem via AT commands. + +Basic usage +=========== +MBIM & AT functions are inactive when unmanaged. The t7xx driver provides +WWAN port userspace interfaces representing MBIM & AT control channels and does +not play any role in managing their functionality. It is the job of a userspace +application to detect port enumeration and enable MBIM & AT functionalities. + +Examples of few such userspace applications are: + +- mbimcli (included with the libmbim [2] library), and +- Modem Manager [3] + +Management Applications to carry out below required actions for establishing +MBIM IP session: + +- open the MBIM control channel +- configure network connection settings +- connect to network +- configure IP network interface + +Management Applications to carry out below required actions for send an AT +command and receive response: + +- open the AT control channel using a UART tool or a special user tool + +Management application development +================================== +The driver and userspace interfaces are described below.
