Linux kernel FPGA support

Alan Tull 2017

The main point of this project has been to separate the out the upper layers
|
|
that know when to reprogram a FPGA from the lower layers that know how to
|
|
reprogram a specific FPGA device. The intention is to make this manufacturer
|
|
agnostic, understanding that of course the FPGA images are very device specific
|
|
themselves.
|
|
|
|
The framework in the kernel includes:
|
|
* low level FPGA manager drivers that know how to program a specific device
|
|
* the fpga-mgr framework they are registered with
|
|
* low level FPGA bridge drivers for hard/soft bridges which are intended to
|
|
be disable during FPGA programming
|
|
* the fpga-bridge framework they are registered with
|
|
* the fpga-region framework which associates and controls managers and bridges
|
|
as reconfigurable regions
|
|
* the of-fpga-region support for reprogramming FPGAs when device tree overlays
|
|
are applied.
|
|
|
|
I would encourage you the user to add code that creates FPGA regions rather
|
|
that trying to control managers and bridges separately.
