Custom PCIe Device Driver

[Sanka Piyaratna <sanka@solinnov.com.au>]

Hi Everyone,

I am currently developing a custom PCIe device and the Linux kernel 
driver for this. I am able to use the device as a character device with 
PIO and now I am working on getting the DMA to work. I have implemented 
2 BARs (BAR0 - mem and BAR5 - mem) in the PCIe device. I have 
implemented the DMA in my custom device firmware to transfer a block of 
memory via the PCIe bus and now trying to get this to work with the 
device driver.

As I understand it, I can get hold of the PCI bus to become the bus 
master and then initiate the DMA transfer from my device. However, I 
don't understand how I can specify within my kernel driver how to 
specify which BAR to use.

Does this mean when I initiate a transfer from the hardware, the memory 
get transferred into the location allocated by by  pci_map_single() 
function regardless of which BAR the memory comes from? or do I need to 
specify the BAR using a mask?

Would some one be able to point me to an example code please?

Thanks and Regards,

Sanka
