You can also find answers to many of your questions with a search of our knowledge base, or post a question on the Get Help page if you can't find the. INDI server is the public network access point where one or more INDI clients may contact one or more INDI Drivers. Indiserver launches each driver process and arranges for it to receive the INDI protocol from clients on its standard input (stdin) and expects to find commands destined for clients on the driver's standard output (stdout).

2.1. About this guide¶

This guide describes the basics of the PCI Express Port Bus driverand provides information on how to enable the service drivers toregister/unregister with the PCI Express Port Bus Driver.

2.2. What is the PCI Express Port Bus Driver¶

Linux Developer Community Port Devices DriverLinux Developer Community Port Devices Driver

A PCI Express Port is a logical PCI-PCI Bridge structure. Thereare two types of PCI Express Port: the Root Port and the SwitchPort. The Root Port originates a PCI Express link from a PCI ExpressRoot Complex and the Switch Port connects PCI Express links tointernal logical PCI buses. The Switch Port, which has its secondarybus representing the switch’s internal routing logic, is called theswitch’s Upstream Port. The switch’s Downstream Port is bridging fromswitch’s internal routing bus to a bus representing the downstreamPCI Express link from the PCI Express Switch.

A PCI Express Port can provide up to four distinct functions,referred to in this document as services, depending on its port type.PCI Express Port’s services include native hotplug support (HP),power management event support (PME), advanced error reportingsupport (AER), and virtual channel support (VC). These services maybe handled by a single complex driver or be individually distributedand handled by corresponding service drivers.

2.3. Why use the PCI Express Port Bus Driver?¶

In existing Linux kernels, the Linux Device Driver Model allows aphysical device to be handled by only a single driver. The PCIExpress Port is a PCI-PCI Bridge device with multiple distinctservices. To maintain a clean and simple solution each servicemay have its own software service driver. In this case severalservice drivers will compete for a single PCI-PCI Bridge device.For example, if the PCI Express Root Port native hotplug servicedriver is loaded first, it claims a PCI-PCI Bridge Root Port. Thekernel therefore does not load other service drivers for that RootPort. In other words, it is impossible to have multiple servicedrivers load and run on a PCI-PCI Bridge device simultaneouslyusing the current driver model.

To enable multiple service drivers running simultaneously requireshaving a PCI Express Port Bus driver, which manages all populatedPCI Express Ports and distributes all provided service requeststo the corresponding service drivers as required. Some keyadvantages of using the PCI Express Port Bus driver are listed below:

  • Allow multiple service drivers to run simultaneously ona PCI-PCI Bridge Port device.
  • Allow service drivers implemented in an independentstaged approach.
  • Allow one service driver to run on multiple PCI-PCI BridgePort devices.
  • Manage and distribute resources of a PCI-PCI Bridge Portdevice to requested service drivers.

2.4. Configuring the PCI Express Port Bus Driver vs. Service Drivers¶

2.4.1. Including the PCI Express Port Bus Driver Support into the Kernel¶

Including the PCI Express Port Bus driver depends on whether the PCIExpress support is included in the kernel config. The kernel willautomatically include the PCI Express Port Bus driver as a kerneldriver when the PCI Express support is enabled in the kernel.

2.4.2. Enabling Service Driver Support¶

PCI device drivers are implemented based on Linux Device Driver Model.All service drivers are PCI device drivers. As discussed above, it isimpossible to load any service driver once the kernel has loaded thePCI Express Port Bus Driver. To meet the PCI Express Port Bus DriverModel requires some minimal changes on existing service drivers thatimposes no impact on the functionality of existing service drivers.

Linux developer community port devices drivers

A service driver is required to use the two APIs shown below toregister its service with the PCI Express Port Bus driver (seesection 5.2.1 & 5.2.2). It is important that a service driverinitializes the pcie_port_service_driver data structure, included inheader file /include/linux/pcieport_if.h, before calling these APIs.Failure to do so will result an identity mismatch, which preventsthe PCI Express Port Bus driver from loading a service driver.

2.4.2.1. pcie_port_service_register¶

This API replaces the Linux Driver Model’s pci_register_driver API. Aservice driver should always calls pcie_port_service_register atmodule init. Note that after service driver being loaded, callssuch as pci_enable_device(dev) and pci_set_master(dev) are no longernecessary since these calls are executed by the PCI Port Bus driver.

2.4.2.2. pcie_port_service_unregister¶

pcie_port_service_unregister replaces the Linux Driver Model’spci_unregister_driver. It’s always called by service driver when amodule exits.

2.4.2.3. Sample Code¶

Below is sample service driver code to initialize the port servicedriver data structure.

Below is a sample code for registering/unregistering a servicedriver.

2.5. Possible Resource Conflicts¶

Since all service drivers of a PCI-PCI Bridge Port device areallowed to run simultaneously, below lists a few of possible resourceconflicts with proposed solutions.

2.5.1. MSI and MSI-X Vector Resource¶

Once MSI or MSI-X interrupts are enabled on a device, it stays in thismode until they are disabled again. Since service drivers of the samePCI-PCI Bridge port share the same physical device, if an individualservice driver enables or disables MSI/MSI-X mode it may resultunpredictable behavior.

To avoid this situation all service drivers are not permitted toswitch interrupt mode on its device. The PCI Express Port Bus driveris responsible for determining the interrupt mode and this should betransparent to service drivers. Service drivers need to know onlythe vector IRQ assigned to the field irq of struct pcie_device, whichis passed in when the PCI Express Port Bus driver probes each servicedriver. Service drivers should use (struct pcie_device*)dev->irq tocall request_irq/free_irq. In addition, the interrupt mode is storedin the field interrupt_mode of struct pcie_device.

2.5.2. PCI Memory/IO Mapped Regions¶

Service drivers for PCI Express Power Management (PME), AdvancedError Reporting (AER), Hot-Plug (HP) and Virtual Channel (VC) accessPCI configuration space on the PCI Express port. In all cases theregisters accessed are independent of each other. This patch assumesthat all service drivers will be well behaved and not overwriteother service driver’s configuration settings.

2.5.3. PCI Config Registers¶

Linux Developer Community Port Devices Driver License

Each service driver runs its PCI config operations on its owncapability structure except the PCI Express capability structure, inwhich Root Control register and Device Control register are sharedbetween PME and AER. This patch assumes that all service driverswill be well behaved and not overwrite other service driver’sconfiguration settings.

The Intel® Quartus® Prime software and older versions of Intel Quartus development software use built-in usb_device drivers on Linux to access the Intel FPGA Download Cable and the Intel FPGA Download Cable II. By default, root is the only user allowed to use these devices. You must change the permissions on the ports before you can use the Intel FPGA Download Cable or Intel FPGA Download Cable II to program devices with Intel Quartus development software.

You must have system administration (root) privileges to configure the Intel FPGA Download Cable drivers.
