This presentation describes how to use an AdvancedTCA® / AdvancedMC™ Serial RapidIO based system infrastructure including existing Linux® device drivers and enablement code to initialize a heterogeneous system consisting of traditional processor, DSP and FPGA endpoints in both dynamic and static configurations. We will provide an overview of using the Linux rionet network driver which implements a standard Linux network interface running on top of the RapidIOmessaging model. These systems can be easily used as the basis for a number of diverse application areas, including LTE/WiMAX, media gateways and radio network controllers.


Brief History of Linux RapidIO support

► RapidIO Support added in Nov 2005 during the linux kernel 2.6.15 release schedule.

► Compliant with the System Enumeration described in RapidIOInterconnect Specification Annex I: Software/System Bring Up specification.

► Relatively Mature Technology and actively maintained.

► Currently being transitioned from the ppc branch to powerpc.

RapidIO Enumeration


Enumeration vs Discovery

► Enumeration is an “active” network depth first search.• As endpoints are found they are locked, queried, and then initialised

dependent if the endpoint is a device or switch.Endpoint – New Device ID is allocated.Switch – Routing operations initialised dependent on its Vendor/DeviceID

– Enumeration algorithm calls itself recursively with an hopcount + 1 over each active switchport.

– Once the depth first search backtracks the switch routing tables are updated with all devices found beyond the switch.

• On completion enpoints are unlocked and their Component Tag registers updated to signify enumeration complete.

•► Discovery is a “passive” enumeration.

• Waits until Component Tag signals enumeration complete.• Traverses the network , discovering all devices, switches.• Does not update Device ID’s, routing tables etc.


RapidIO: Maintenance Transactions

► Enumeration/Discovery is achieved via Maintenance Transactions.

RapidIO Download/Control Utility

► User application.• Reset RapidIO endpoints.• Re-Enumerate endpoints ie Set device ID.• Download Code/Data to endpoint.• Instruct endpoint to execute at a particular address.• Upload Code/Data from endpoint.• Currently non-standard – System dependent.

► Device driver • Identical functionality.• Removes security issues• Increased complexity.


Linux: Current RapidIO support Infrastructure

► Static/Dynamic Enumeration/Discovery.• Part of the standard linux kernel.

►Rionet: RapidIO network interface driver.• Part of the standard linux kernel.

► Control utilities.• Not part of the kernel but are device/system/application dependent• Example code for Freescale PowerPC to DSP.• Third parties.


Current/Future Linux Work

►Standardise static enumeration support – Device Tree’s.

►Enhanced error detection/correction.

►Shared Memory Rionet driver.

►Hotplug/Hotswap support

►Expose RapidIO events / resource allocation to user apps.

► Standardise control API.
