| 2 | ========================================================================= |
| 3 | |
| 4 | I. Overview |
| 5 | |
| 6 | This driver implements all currently defined RapidIO mport callback functions. |
| 7 | It supports maintenance read and write operations, inbound and outbound RapidIO |
| 8 | doorbells, inbound maintenance port-writes and RapidIO messaging. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | To generate SRIO maintenance transactions this driver uses one of Tsi721 DMA |
| 11 | channels. This mechanism provides access to larger range of hop counts and |
| 12 | destination IDs without need for changes in outbound window translation. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | RapidIO messaging support uses dedicated messaging channels for each mailbox. |
| 15 | For inbound messages this driver uses destination ID matching to forward messages |
| 16 | into the corresponding message queue. Messaging callbacks are implemented to be |
| 17 | fully compatible with RIONET driver (Ethernet over RapidIO messaging services). |
| 18 | |
| 19 | II. Known problems |
| 20 | |
| 21 | None. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | III. To do |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Add DMA data transfers (non-messaging). |
| 26 | Add inbound region (SRIO-to-PCIe) mapping. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | IV. Version History |
| 29 | |
| 30 | 1.0.0 - Initial driver release. |
