SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 =================================================================== PCI Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB) Endpoint Function (EPF) User Guide =================================================================== :Author: Frank Li <Frank.Li@nxp.com> This document is a guide to help users use pci-epf-vntb function driver and ntb_hw_epf host driver for NTB functionality. The list of steps to be followed in the host side and EP side is given below. For the hardware configuration and internals of NTB using configurable endpoints see Documentation/PCI/endpoint/pci-vntb-function.rst Endpoint Device =============== Endpoint Controller Devices --------------------------- To find the list of endpoint controller devices in the system:: # ls /sys/class/pci_epc/ 5f010000.pcie_ep If PCI_ENDPOINT_CONFIGFS is enabled:: # ls /sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/controllers 5f010000.pcie_ep Endpoint Function Drivers ------------------------- To find the list of endpoint function drivers in the system:: # ls /sys/bus/pci-epf/drivers pci_epf_ntb pci_epf_test pci_epf_vntb If PCI_ENDPOINT_CONFIGFS is enabled:: # ls /sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/functions pci_epf_ntb pci_epf_test pci_epf_vntb Creating pci-epf-vntb Device ---------------------------- PCI endpoint function device can be created using the configfs. To create pci-epf-vntb device, the following commands can be used:: # mount -t configfs none /sys/kernel/config # cd /sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/ # mkdir functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1 The "mkdir func1" above creates the pci-epf-ntb function device that will be probed by pci_epf_vntb driver. The PCI endpoint framework populates the directory with the following configurable fields:: # ls functions/pci_epf_ntb/func1 baseclass_code deviceid msi_interrupts pci-epf-ntb.0 progif_code secondary subsys_id vendorid cache_line_size interrupt_pin msix_interrupts primary revid subclass_code subsys_vendor_id The PCI endpoint function driver populates these entries with default values when the device is bound to the driver. The pci-epf-vntb driver populates vendorid with 0xffff and interrupt_pin with 0x0001:: # cat functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/vendorid 0xffff # cat functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/interrupt_pin 0x0001 Configuring pci-epf-vntb Device ------------------------------- The user can configure the pci-epf-vntb device using its configfs entry. In order to change the vendorid and the deviceid, the following commands can be used:: # echo 0x1957 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/vendorid # echo 0x0809 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/deviceid In order to configure NTB specific attributes, a new sub-directory to func1 should be created:: # mkdir functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/ The NTB function driver will populate this directory with various attributes that can be configured by the user:: # ls functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/ db_count mw1 mw2 mw3 mw4 num_mws spad_count A sample configuration for NTB function is given below:: # echo 4 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/db_count # echo 128 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/spad_count # echo 1 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/num_mws # echo 0x100000 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/mw1 A sample configuration for virtual NTB driver for virutal PCI bus:: # echo 0x1957 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/vntb_vid # echo 0x080A > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/vntb_pid # echo 0x10 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/vbus_number Binding pci-epf-ntb Device to EP Controller -------------------------------------------- NTB function device should be attached to PCI endpoint controllers connected to the host. # ln -s controllers/5f010000.pcie_ep functions/pci-epf-ntb/func1/primary Once the above step is completed, the PCI endpoint controllers are ready to establish a link with the host. Start the Link -------------- In order for the endpoint device to establish a link with the host, the _start_ field should be populated with '1'. For NTB, both the PCI endpoint controllers should establish link with the host (imx8 don't need this steps):: # echo 1 > controllers/5f010000.pcie_ep/start RootComplex Device ================== lspci Output at Host side ------------------------- Note that the devices listed here correspond to the values populated in "Creating pci-epf-ntb Device" section above:: # lspci 00:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc Device 0000 (rev 01) 01:00.0 RAM memory: Freescale Semiconductor Inc Device 0809 Endpoint Device / Virtual PCI bus ================================= lspci Output at EP Side / Virtual PCI bus ----------------------------------------- Note that the devices listed here correspond to the values populated in "Creating pci-epf-ntb Device" section above:: # lspci 10:00.0 Unassigned class [ffff]: Dawicontrol Computersysteme GmbH Device 1234 (rev ff) Using ntb_hw_epf Device ----------------------- The host side software follows the standard NTB software architecture in Linux. All the existing client side NTB utilities like NTB Transport Client and NTB Netdev, NTB Ping Pong Test Client and NTB Tool Test Client can be used with NTB function device.
