-EDU device
-==========
-
-Copyright (c) 2014-2015 Jiri Slaby
-
-This document is licensed under the GPLv2 (or later).
-
-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)
- ;
