Chapter 71. The eCos PCI Library
Table of Contents
The PCI library is an optional part of eCos, and is only applicable to some platforms.
71.1. PCI Library
The eCos PCI library provides the following functionality:
- Scan the PCI bus for specific devices or devices of a certain class.
- Read and change generic PCI information.
- Read and change device-specific PCI information.
- Allocate PCI memory and IO space to devices.
- Translate a device's PCI interrupts to equivalent HAL vectors.
Example code fragments are from the pci1 test (see io/pci/<release>/tests/pci1.c
).
All of the functions described below are declared in the header
file <cyg/io/pci.h>
which all
clients of the PCI library should include.
71.1.1. PCI Overview
The PCI bus supports several address spaces: memory, IO, and configuration. All PCI devices must support mandatory configuration space registers. Some devices may also present IO mapped and/or memory mapped resources. Before devices on the bus can be used, they must be configured. Basically, configuration will assign PCI IO and/or memory address ranges to each device and then enable that device. All PCI devices have a unique address in configuration space. This address is comprised of a bus number, a device number, and a function number. Special devices called bridges are used to connect two PCI busses together. The PCI standard supports up to 255 busses with each bus having up to 32 devices and each device having up to 8 functions.
The environment in which a platform operates will dictate if and how eCos should configure devices on the PCI bus. If the platform acts as a host on a single PCI bus, then devices may be configured individually from the relevant device driver. If the platform is not the primary host, such as a PCI card plugged into a PC, configuration of PCI devices may be left to the PC BIOS. If PCI-PCI bridges are involved, configuration of all devices is best done all at once early in the boot process. This is because all devices on the secondary side of a bridge must be evaluated for their IO and memory space requirements before the bridge can be configured.
71.1.2. Initializing the bus
The PCI bus needs to be initialized before it can be used. This only needs to be done once - some HALs may do it as part of the platform initialization procedure, other HALs may leave it to the application or device drivers to do it. The following function will do the initialization only once, so it's safe to call from multiple drivers:
void cyg_pci_init( void );
71.1.3. Scanning for devices
After the bus has been initialized, it is possible to scan it for devices. This is done using the function:
cyg_bool cyg_pci_find_next( cyg_pci_device_id cur_devid, cyg_pci_device_id *next_devid );
It will scan the bus for devices starting at cur_devid
. If a device is found, its devid
is stored in next_devid
and the
function returns true
.
The pci1
test's outer loop looks like:
cyg_pci_init(); if (cyg_pci_find_next(CYG_PCI_NULL_DEVID, &devid)) { do { <use devid> } while (cyg_pci_find_next(devid, &devid)); }
What happens is that the bus gets initialized and a scan is
started. CYG_PCI_NULL_DEVID
causes cyg_pci_find_next()
to restart its scan. If the bus does not
contain any devices, the first call to cyg_pci_find_next()
will return false
.
If the call returns true
, a loop is entered where
the found devid is used. After devid processing has completed, the next device
on the bus is searched for; cyg_pci_find_next()
continues its scan from the current devid. The loop terminates when
no more devices are found on the bus.
This is the generic way of scanning the bus, enumerating all the devices on the bus. But if the application is looking for a device of a given device class (e.g., a SCSI controller), or a specific vendor device, these functions simplify the task a bit:
cyg_bool cyg_pci_find_class( cyg_uint32 dev_class, cyg_pci_device_id *devid ); cyg_bool cyg_pci_find_device( cyg_uint16 vendor, cyg_uint16 device, cyg_pci_device_id *devid );
They work just like cyg_pci_find_next()
,
but only return true when the dev_class or vendor/device
qualifiers match those of a device on the bus. The devid serves
as both an input and an output operand: the scan starts at the given
device, and if a device is found devid is updated with the value
for the found device.
The <cyg/io/pci_cfg.h>
header
file (included by pci.h
) contains definitions for PCI
class, vendor and device codes which can be used as arguments to the find
functions.
The list of vendor and device codes is not complete: add new codes
as necessary. If possible also register the codes at the PCI Database
(http://www.pcidatabase.com)
which is where the eCos definitions are generated from.
71.1.4. Generic config information
When a valid device ID (devid) is found using one of the above functions, the associated device can be queried and controlled using the functions:
void cyg_pci_get_device_info ( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_pci_device *dev_info ); void cyg_pci_set_device_info ( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_pci_device *dev_info );
The cyg_pci_device structure (defined in
pci.h
) primarily holds information as described by the PCI
specification [1].
The pci1
test prints out some of this information:
// Get device info cyg_pci_get_device_info(devid, &dev_info); diag_printf("\n Command 0x%04x, Status 0x%04x\n", dev_info.command, dev_info.status);
The command register can also be written to, controlling (among other things) whether the device responds to IO and memory access from the bus.
71.1.5. Specific config information
The above functions only allow access to generic PCI config registers. A device can have extra config registers not specified by the PCI specification. These can be accessed with these functions:
void cyg_pci_read_config_uint8( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint8 *val); void cyg_pci_read_config_uint16( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint16 *val); void cyg_pci_read_config_uint32( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint32 *val); void cyg_pci_write_config_uint8( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint8 val); void cyg_pci_write_config_uint16( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint16 val); void cyg_pci_write_config_uint32( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint32 val);
The write functions should only be used for device-specific config registers since using them on generic registers may invalidate the contents of a previously fetched cyg_pci_device structure.
71.1.6. Allocating memory
A PCI device ignores all IO and memory access from the PCI bus until it has been activated. Activation cannot happen until after device configuration. Configuration means telling the device where it should map its IO and memory resources. This is done with one of the following functions::
cyg_bool cyg_pci_configure_device( cyg_pci_device *dev_info ); cyg_bool cyg_pci_configure_bus( cyg_uint8 bus, cyg_uint8 *next_bus );
The cyg_pci_configure_device
handles all IO
and memory regions that need configuration on non-bridge devices. On
platforms with multiple busses connected by bridges, the cyg_pci_configure_bus
function should be used. It will recursively
configure all devices on the given bus
and all
subordinate busses. cyg_pci_configure_bus
will
use cyg_pci_configure_device
to configure
individual non-bridge devices.
Each region is represented in the PCI device's config space by BARs (Base Address Registers) and is handled individually according to type using these functions:
cyg_bool cyg_pci_allocate_memory( cyg_pci_device *dev_info, cyg_uint32 bar, CYG_PCI_ADDRESS64 *base ); cyg_bool cyg_pci_allocate_io( cyg_pci_device *dev_info, cyg_uint32 bar, CYG_PCI_ADDRESS32 *base );
The memory bases (in two distinct address spaces) are increased as memory regions are allocated to devices. Allocation will fail (the function returns false) if the base exceeds the limits of the address space (IO is 1MB, memory is 2^32 or 2^64 bytes).
These functions can also be called directly by the application/driver if necessary, but this should not be necessary.
The bases are initialized with default values provided by the HAL. It is possible for an application to override these using the following functions:
void cyg_pci_set_memory_base( CYG_PCI_ADDRESS64 base ); void cyg_pci_set_io_base( CYG_PCI_ADDRESS32 base );
When a device has been configured, the cyg_pci_device structure will contain the physical address in the CPU's address space where the device's memory regions can be accessed.
This information is provided in base_map[]
-
there is a 32 bit word for each of the device's BARs. For
32 bit PCI memory regions, each 32 bit word will be an actual pointer
that can be used immediately by the driver: the memory space will normally
be linearly addressable by the CPU.
However, for 64 bit PCI memory regions, some (or all) of the region may be outside of the CPUs address space. In this case the driver will need to know how to access the region in segments. This functionality may be adopted by the eCos HAL if deemed useful in the future. The 2GB available on many systems should suffice though.
71.1.7. Interrupts
A device may generate interrupts. The HAL vector associated with a given device on the bus is platform specific. This function allows a driver to find the actual interrupt vector for a given device:
cyg_bool cyg_pci_translate_interrupt( cyg_pci_device *dev_info, CYG_ADDRWORD *vec );
If the function returns false, no interrupts will be generated
by the device. If it returns true, the CYG_ADDRWORD pointed
to by vec is updated with the HAL interrupt vector the device will
be using. This is how the function is used in the pci1
test:
if (cyg_pci_translate_interrupt(&dev_info, &irq)) diag_printf(" Wired to HAL vector %d\n", irq); else diag_printf(" Does not generate interrupts.\n");
The application/drive should attach an interrupt handler to a device's interrupt before activating the device.
71.1.8. Activating a device
When the device has been allocated memory space it can be activated. This is not done by the library since a driver may have to initialize more state on the device before it can be safely activated.
Activating the device is done by enabling flags in its command
word. As an example, see the pci1
test which can be
configured to enable the devices it finds. This allows these to be accessed from
GDB (if a breakpoint is set on cyg_test_exit
):
#ifdef ENABLE_PCI_DEVICES { cyg_uint16 cmd; // Don't use cyg_pci_set_device_info since it clears // some of the fields we want to print out below. cyg_pci_read_config_uint16(dev_info.devid, CYG_PCI_CFG_COMMAND, &cmd); cmd |= CYG_PCI_CFG_COMMAND_IO|CYG_PCI_CFG_COMMAND_MEMORY; cyg_pci_write_config_uint16(dev_info.devid, CYG_PCI_CFG_COMMAND, cmd); } diag_printf(" **** Device IO and MEM access enabled\n"); #endif

71.2. PCI Library reference
This document defines the PCI Support Library for eCos.
The PCI support library provides a set of routines for accessing the PCI bus configuration space in a portable manner. This is provided by two APIs. The high level API is used by device drivers, or other code, to access the PCI configuration space portably. The low level API is used by the PCI library itself to access the hardware in a platform-specific manner, and may also be used by device drivers to access the PCI configuration space directly.
Underlying the low-level API is HAL support for the basic configuration space operations. These should not generally be used by any code other than the PCI library, and are present in the HAL to allow low level initialization of the PCI bus and devices to take place if necessary.
71.2.1. PCI Library API
The PCI library provides the following routines and types for accessing the PCI configuration space.
The API for the PCI library is found in the header file
<cyg/io/pci.h>
.
71.2.2. Definitions
The header file contains definitions for the common configuration structure offsets and specimen values for device, vendor and class code.
71.2.3. Types and data structures
The following types are defined:
typedef CYG_WORD32 cyg_pci_device_id;
This is comprised of the bus number, device number and functional
unit numbers packed into a single word. The macro CYG_PCI_DEV_MAKE_ID()
, in conjunction with the CYG_PCI_DEV_MAKE_DEVFN()
macro, may be used to construct a device id from the bus, device and functional
unit numbers. Similarly the macros CYG_PCI_DEV_GET_BUS()
,
CYG_PCI_DEV_GET_DEVFN()
,
CYG_PCI_DEV_GET_DEV()
, and
CYG_PCI_DEV_GET_FN()
may be used to extract the
constituent parts of a device id. It should not be necessary to use these
macros under normal circumstances. The following code fragment demonstrates
how these macros may be used:
// Create a packed representation of device 1, function 0 cyg_uint8 devfn = CYG_PCI_DEV_MAKE_DEVFN(1,0); // Create a packed devid for that device on bus 2 cyg_pci_device_id devid = CYG_PCI_DEV_MAKE_ID(2, devfn); diag_printf("bus %d, dev %d, func %d\n", CYG_PCI_DEV_GET_BUS(devid), CYG_PCI_DEV_GET_DEV(CYG_PCI_DEV_GET_DEVFN(devid)), CYG_PCI_DEV_GET_FN(CYG_PCI_DEV_GET_DEVFN(devid));
typedef struct cyg_pci_device;
This structure is used to contain data read from a PCI device's
configuration header by cyg_pci_get_device_info()
.
It is also used to record the resource allocations made to the device.
typedef CYG_WORD64 CYG_PCI_ADDRESS64; typedef CYG_WORD32 CYG_PCI_ADDRESS32;
Pointers in the PCI address space are 32 bit (IO space) or
32/64 bit (memory space). In most platform and device configurations
all of PCI memory will be linearly addressable using only 32 bit
pointers as read from base_map[]
.
The 64 bit type is used to allow handling 64 bit devices in the future, should it be necessary, without changing the library's API.
71.2.4. Functions
void cyg_pci_init(void);
Initialize the PCI library and establish contact with the hardware. This function is idempotent and can be called either by all drivers in the system, or just from an application initialization function.
cyg_bool cyg_pci_find_device( cyg_uint16 vendor, cyg_uint16 device, cyg_pci_device_id *devid );
Searches the PCI bus configuration space for a device with
the given vendor
and device
ids. The search starts at the device pointed to by devid
,
or at the first slot if it contains CYG_PCI_NULL_DEVID
.
*devid
will be updated with the ID of the next device
found. Returns true
if one is found and false
if not.
cyg_bool cyg_pci_find_class( cyg_uint32 dev_class, cyg_pci_device_id *devid );
Searches the PCI bus configuration space for a device with
the given dev_class
class code. The search starts at the
device pointed to by devid
, or at the first slot if it
contains CYG_PCI_NULL_DEVID
.
*devid
will be updated with the ID of the next
device found. Returns true
if one is found and
false
if not.
cyg_bool cyg_pci_find_next( cyg_pci_device_id cur_devid, cyg_pci_device_id *next_devid );
Searches the PCI configuration space for the next valid device
after cur_devid
. If cur_devid
is given the value CYG_PCI_NULL_DEVID
, then the search starts
at the first slot. It is permitted for next_devid
to
point to cur_devid
. Returns true
if another device is found and false
if not.
cyg_bool cyg_pci_find_matching( cyg_pci_match_func *matchp, void *match_callback_data, cyg_pci_device_id *devid );
Searches the PCI bus configuration space for a device whose properties
match those required by the caller supplied cyg_pci_match_func
.
The search starts at the device pointed to by devid
, or
at the first slot if it contains CYG_PCI_NULL_DEVID
. The
devid
will be updated with the ID of the next device found.
This function returns true
if a matching device is found
and false
if not.
The match_func has a type declared as:
typedef cyg_bool (cyg_pci_match_func)( cyg_uint16 vendor, cyg_uint16 device, cyg_uint32 class, void * user_data);
The vendor
, device
, and
class
are from the device configuration space. The
user_data
is the callback data passed to cyg_pci_find_matching
.
void cyg_pci_get_device_info ( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_pci_device *dev_info );
This function gets the PCI configuration information for the
device indicated in devid
. The common fields of the
cyg_pci_device structure, and the appropriate fields
of the relevant header union member are filled in from the device's
configuration space.
If the device has not been enabled, then this function will also fetch
the size and type information from the base address registers and
place it in the base_size[]
array.
void cyg_pci_set_device_info ( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_pci_device *dev_info );
This function sets the PCI configuration information for the
device indicated in devid
. Only the configuration space
registers that are writable are actually written. Once all the fields have
been written, the device info will be read back into *dev_info
, so that it reflects the true state of the hardware.
void cyg_pci_read_config_uint8( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint8 *val ); void cyg_pci_read_config_uint16( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint16 *val ); void cyg_pci_read_config_uint32( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint32 *val );
These functions read registers of the appropriate size from
the configuration space of the given device. They should mainly
be used to access registers that are device specific. General PCI
registers are best accessed through cyg_pci_get_device_info()
.
void cyg_pci_write_config_uint8( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint8 val ); void cyg_pci_write_config_uint16( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint16 val ); void cyg_pci_write_config_uint32( cyg_pci_device_id devid, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint32 val );
These functions write registers of the appropriate size to
the configuration space of the given device. They should mainly
be used to access registers that are device specific. General PCI
registers are best accessed through cyg_pci_get_device_info()
. Writing the general registers this way may render the contents of
a cyg_pci_device structure invalid.
71.2.5. Resource allocation
These routines allocate memory and I/O space to PCI devices.
cyg_bool cyg_pci_configure_device( cyg_pci_device *dev_info )
Allocate memory and IO space to all base address registers
using the current memory and IO base addresses in the library. The
allocated base addresses, translated into directly usable values,
will be put into the matching base_map[]
entries
in *dev_info
. If *dev_info
does
not contain valid base_size[]
entries, then the result is
false
. This function will also call cyg_pci_translate_interrupt()
to put the interrupt vector into the
HAL vector entry.
cyg_bool cyg_pci_configure_bus( cyg_uint8 bus, cyg_uint8 *next_bus )
Allocate memory and IO space to all base address registers on all devices
on the given bus and all subordinate busses. If a PCI-PCI bridge is found on
bus
, this function will call itself recursively in order
to configure the bus on the other side of the bridge. Because of the nature of
bridge devices, all devices on the secondary side of a bridge must be allocated
memory and IO space before the memory and IO windows on the bridge device can be
properly configured. The next_bus
argument points to the
bus number to assign to the next subordinate bus found. The number will be
incremented as new busses are discovered. If successful, true
is returned. Otherwise, false
is returned.
cyg_bool cyg_pci_translate_interrupt( cyg_pci_device *dev_info, CYG_ADDRWORD *vec );
Translate the device's PCI interrupt (INTA#-INTD#)
to the associated HAL vector. This may also depend on which slot
the device occupies. If the device may generate interrupts, the
translated vector number will be stored in vec
and the
result is true
. Otherwise the result is false
.
cyg_bool cyg_pci_allocate_memory( cyg_pci_device *dev_info, cyg_uint32 bar, CYG_PCI_ADDRESS64 *base ); cyg_bool cyg_pci_allocate_io( cyg_pci_device *dev_info, cyg_uint32 bar, CYG_PCI_ADDRESS32 *base );
These routines allocate memory or I/O space to the base address
register indicated by bar
. The base address in
*base
will be correctly aligned and the address of the
next free location will be written back into it if the allocation succeeds. If
the base address register is of the wrong type for this allocation, or
dev_info
does not contain valid base_size[]
entries, the result is false
. These functions
allow a device driver to set up its own mappings if it wants. Most devices
should probably use cyg_pci_configure_device()
.
void cyg_pci_set_memory_base( CYG_PCI_ADDRESS64 base ); void cyg_pci_set_io_base( CYG_PCI_ADDRESS32 base );
These routines set the base addresses for memory and I/O mappings to be used by the memory allocation routines. Normally these base addresses will be set to default values based on the platform. These routines allow these to be changed by application code if necessary.
71.2.6. PCI Library Hardware API
This API is used by the PCI library to access the PCI bus configuration space. Although it should not normally be necessary, this API may also be used by device driver or application code to perform PCI bus operations not supported by the PCI library.
void cyg_pcihw_init(void);
Initialize the PCI hardware so that the configuration space may be accessed.
void cyg_pcihw_read_config_uint8( cyg_uint8 bus, cyg_uint8 devfn, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint8 *val); void cyg_pcihw_read_config_uint16( cyg_uint8 bus, cyg_uint8 devfn, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint16 *val); void cyg_pcihw_read_config_uint32( cyg_uint8 bus, cyg_uint8 devfn, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint32 *val);
These functions read a register of the appropriate size from
the PCI configuration space at an address composed from the bus
, devfn
and offset
arguments.
void cyg_pcihw_write_config_uint8( cyg_uint8 bus, cyg_uint8 devfn, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint8 val); void cyg_pcihw_write_config_uint16( cyg_uint8 bus, cyg_uint8 devfn, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint16 val); void cyg_pcihw_write_config_uint32( cyg_uint8 bus, cyg_uint8 devfn, cyg_uint8 offset, cyg_uint32 val);
These functions write a register of the appropriate size to
the PCI configuration space at an address composed from the
bus
, devfn
and
offset
arguments.
cyg_bool cyg_pcihw_translate_interrupt( cyg_uint8 bus, cyg_uint8 devfn, CYG_ADDRWORD *vec);
This function interrogates the device and determines which HAL interrupt vector it is connected to.
71.2.7. HAL PCI support
HAL support consists of a set of C macros that provide the implementation of the low level PCI API.
HAL_PCI_INIT()
Initialize the PCI bus.
HAL_PCI_READ_UINT8( bus, devfn, offset, val ) HAL_PCI_READ_UINT16( bus, devfn, offset, val ) HAL_PCI_READ_UINT32( bus, devfn, offset, val )
Read a value from the PCI configuration space of the appropriate
size at an address composed from the bus
, devfn
and offset
.
HAL_PCI_WRITE_UINT8( bus, devfn, offset, val ) HAL_PCI_WRITE_UINT16( bus, devfn, offset, val ) HAL_PCI_WRITE_UINT32( bus, devfn, offset, val )
Write a value to the PCI configuration space of the appropriate
size at an address composed from the bus
, devfn
and offset
.
HAL_PCI_TRANSLATE_INTERRUPT( bus, devfn, *vec, valid )
Translate the device's interrupt line into a HAL interrupt vector.
HAL_PCI_ALLOC_BASE_MEMORY HAL_PCI_ALLOC_BASE_IO
These macros define the default base addresses used to initialize the memory and I/O allocation pointers.
HAL_PCI_PHYSICAL_MEMORY_BASE HAL_PCI_PHYSICAL_IO_BASE
PCI memory and IO range do not always correspond directly to physical memory or IO addresses. Frequently the PCI address spaces are windowed into the processor's address range at some offset. These macros define offsets to be added to the PCI base addresses to translate PCI bus addresses into physical memory addresses that can be used to access the allocated memory or IO space.
Note | |
---|---|
The chunk of PCI memory space directly addressable though the window by the CPU may be smaller than the amount of PCI memory actually provided. In that case drivers will have to access PCI memory space in segments. Doing this will be platform specific and is currently beyond the scope of the HAL. |
HAL_PCI_IGNORE_DEVICE( bus, dev, fn )
This macro, if defined, may be used to limit the devices which are
found by the bus scanning functions. This is sometimes necessary for
devices which need special handling. If this macro evaluates to true
, the given device will not be found by cyg_pci_find_next
or other bus scanning functions.
HAL_PCI_IGNORE_BAR( dev_info, bar_num )
This macro, if defined, may be used to limit which BARs are discovered
and configured. This is sometimes necessary for platforms with limited PCI
windows. If this macro evaluates to true
, the given BAR
will not be discovered by cyg_pci_get_device_info
and
therefore not configured by cyg_pci_configure_device
.
