Re: [virtio-dev] Re: [RFC PATCH v3 3/3] SPI: Add virtio SPI driver.

Hello Harald,

Thank you for your detailed expatiation. To my knowledge, you took Vanilla as the front-end, and VMM is QEMU. Can you please explain further how do you test the SPI transfer without the Vanilla userspace interface? Thanks again.

Hello Haixu,

no, I've not touched spidev.c. Nowhere. I took Vanilla next/stable and applied the patches I sent.

Run the driver as a (somewhat different but comparable) module on 6.5 on hardware over virtio-MMIO. Probes and goes live.

Tested on next/stable using a specially adapted QEMU version which allows the usage of our proprietary virtio SPI device over PCI in qemu. Probes and goes live.

There may be other patches in the setup we're using I'm not aware of but not this one.

Only in case you're using some locally developed virtio SPI device on qemu which uses PCI transport:

SPI has ID 45. Means 0x2d.

https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/specs/pci-ids.html

1af4:1040 to 1af4:10ef

   ID range for modern virtio devices. The PCI device ID is calculated
   from the virtio device ID by adding the 0x1040 offset. ...

lspci on qemu:

/ # lspci
...
00:03.0 Class 00ff: 1af4:106d
...

/ #

You see something like this?

Regards
Harald

Hi Harald,
    Do you add "spi-virtio" in spidev_spi_ids in spidev.c when you doing the tests, to probe spidev driver?

Thanks
