XDMA dmaengine driver implementation

XDMA dmaengine driver implementation

[Hinko Kocevar]

Hi,

here at ESS we are using https://github.com/Xilinx/dma_ip_drivers/tree/master/XDMA/linux-kernel kernel driver today with the micro TCA based data acquisition cards such as https://innovation.desy.de/technologies/microtca/boards/damc_fmc2zup/index_eng.html and https://www.struck.de/sis8300.html. The diver seems to be functioning just fine and it provides all the necessary software interfaces we desire.

Looking at the https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vkoul/dmaengine.git/ I noticed that there is a lot of effort in getting the XDMA dmaengine accepted into mainline kernel. As far as I understand one would need to develop an additional driver that utilizes the XDMA dmaengine driver.

Is there a reference implementation of a driver that uses XDMA dmaengine that is similar to the on in dma_ip_drivers github repo?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Hinko,

mgb4 driver which uses XDMA in mainline kernel. Please see: 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/media/pci/mgb4/mgb4_core.c#L437

Thanks,

Lizhi

Hi Lizhi,

I found it and managed to reuse its DMA interface within the dma_ip_drivers xdma driver.

At the moment I've hacked the dma_ip_drivers xdma driver just enough that it is using the xdma dmaengine instead of most of the code in libxdma.c.

Thank,
