Subject: [PATCH 1/1] drivers/char/xilinx-sscu: Xilinx Slave Serial Configuration Uploader driver
This is a bitbang driver that implements slave serial bitstream upload for
Xilinx FPGAs. This is done via gpiolib bitbang, therefore should be portable to
any hardware that has several spare GPIOs. Using his driver you can reprogram
the FPGA without stopping the actual system or popping on any jtag cables.
See documentation note in the patch for details.
The driver supports multiple instances, therefore you can have as many
'/dev/fpga's as you want, but it relies on a corresponding platform device to be
created beforehand, with GPIO numbers in platform_data.
Tested on an ARM at91sam9260 development board running at 200Mhz with a Xilinx
XC3S500E Spartan FPGA. The upload of a ~280kbyte bitstream takes about 6 seconds.
Benchmark:
# time cat /blinky.bin > /dev/fpga0
real 0m 6.48s
user 0m 0.00s
sys 0m 6.01s
#
Comments and suggestions welcome. This is my first patch to lkml, so I might be missing
some trivial things.
Regards,
Andrew

+Kernel driver xilinx-sscu
+=====================
+This is a bitbang driver that implements slave serial bitstream upload for
+Xilinx FPGAs. This is done in a bitbang, therefore should be portable to
+any hardware that has several spare GPIOs. using his driver you can reprogram
+the FPGA without stopping the actual system or popping on any jtag cables.
+
+Setting up the board
+=====================
+This driver attaches to a platform devices, therefore, to use it - you have to
+register it in your board file with any required hardware-specific initialisation.
+All the fields are self-explanatory. Note, you can have as many fpgas attached
+to the system as you want (as long as you have required GPIO lines)
+Here goes an example for arm/mach-at91 board of mine:
+#include <linux/xilinx-sscu.h>
+
+
+static struct xsscu_data charlene_xsscu_pdata[] = {
+ {
+ .name="Xilinx Spartan-XC3S500E",
+ .sout=AT91_PIN_PC7,
+ .prog_b=AT91_PIN_PC9,
+ .clk=AT91_PIN_PC6,
+ .done=AT91_PIN_PC4,
+ .init_b=AT91_PIN_PC10,
+ },
+};
+
+
+static int __init charlene_register_xsscu(struct xsscu_data* pdata, int count)
+{
+ int i,err;
+ struct platform_device *pdev;
+ for (i=0;i<count;i++)
+ {
+ printk(KERN_INFO "Registering xsscu interface for: %s\n", pdata[i].name);
+ at91_set_GPIO_periph(pdata[i].init_b,1);
+ at91_set_GPIO_periph(pdata[i].done,1);
+ at91_set_GPIO_periph(pdata[i].clk,0);
+ at91_set_GPIO_periph(pdata[i].sout,0);
+ at91_set_GPIO_periph(pdata[i].prog_b,0);
+ pdev = platform_device_alloc("xilinx-sscu", i);
+ if (!pdev)
+ {
+ printk(KERN_ERR "Platform device alloc failed - bailing out\n");
+ return 0;
+ }
+ pdev->dev.platform_data=&pdata[i];
+ err = platform_device_add(pdev);
+ if (err) break;
+ }
+ if (err) printk(KERN_INFO "Registration failed: %d\n",err);
+ return err;
+}
+
+Then a call
+charlene_register_xsscu(charlene_xsscu_pdata, ARRAY_SIZE(charlene_xsscu_pdata));
+in board_init will do the trick.
+Note the at91_set_GPIO_periph calls here. They ARE hardware-specific and they
+deatach muxed periphs from the pins and allow using them as plain IO.
+
+
+
+Using /dev/fpga interface
+=====================
+Using this interface is pretty simple. To upload a firmware just write in to
+/dev/fpga0 (1,2 whatever). Something like this:
+cat /path/to/bitstream.bin > /dev/fpga0
+This will issue a reset and upload the configuration to your fpga.
+If you had anything running on it - it will be stopped. Make sure to unload
+any kernel drivers for your homebrew hardware running in FPGA beforehand.
+If you would like to disable the fpga completely in runtime:
+echo "disable" > /dev/fpga0
+This will pull prog_b LOW, effectively stopping anything your FPGA was up to.
+And it will keep it that way until you upload another configuration.
+For information on fpga status:
+cat /dev/fpga0
+This should print you a pretty summary of what's going on.
+That's all. Simple, isn't it?
+
+Delay issues
+=====================
+Have a look at the DELAY macro defined in the code of the driver.
+At my 200Mhz ARM system this was not needed, but if you are running on
+some >1Ghz system, clock might go too fast, and you'll have to define DELAY
+to something like udelay(10);
+According to the datasheet, Spartan can handle compressed bitstreams at
+about 20Mhz max.
+I haven't run into this limit. Yet. If you do - update this document,
+please.
