Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fpga manager: Add cyclonespi driver for Altera fpgas

cyclonespi loads fpga firmware over spi, using the "passive serial"
interface on Altera Cyclone FPGAS.

one of the simpler ways to set up an fpga at runtime.
The signal interface is close to unidirectional spi with lsb first.

I think at one point we decided it's gonna be 'FPGA' to be consistent.

During the Zynq FPGA manager reviews we decided that manipulating the bitstream
to be consumable by the driver is userland's job.

Alan, do you guys have any input on the compat string?

I think generally the bindings should go before the actual usage in
your patch series. Meaning you wanna document the binding
before you use it. I think this patch should be [1/3].

Moritz, Can you remind me what that issue was there (or point me to
that email, I can't find it)? I don't think I had a problem with that
in your case. In general I think if these drivers can take the
bitstream that comes from the manufacturer's tools and stuff it into
the FPGA, then we are accomplishing what we want. So I am OK with
this here. The intent of the driver is to load a standard rbf, same
as the other Altera FPGA drivers.

There is a problem here though it will be easy to fix. This call to
revbit8x4 should happen in cyclonespi_write(), not in
cyclonespi_write_init(). The reason for that is that write_init() may
just get the first chunk of the image (the header) and that write()
will be called multiple times for the remaining chunks. The current
FPGA manager API won't show this problem since you have to give
fpga_mgr_buf_load the whole image buffer at once. But it is easy to
imagine that some time in the future we may want to expand the FPGA
manager API to support streaming where we don't have the whole buffer.

Thanks for submitting, Joshua. Will be looking at this over the
next several days.

My first version of the zynq fpga manager had byte swapping in there
and detection of which format was used. Greg even (accidentially)
merged my initial code
which I then cleaned up in 4d10eaff5bfc69997a769f9c83b749f0a8c542fa
("fpga: zynq-fpga: Change fw format to handle bin instead of bit.") to
address the review
comments.

I do see your point about useability, and if this is something that
keeps coming up
we could pull that into the framework with a flag to SWAP or as part
of the image_information
struct.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Moritz

I am open to change if it makes sense. I tried to keep the format similar.

The real issue is that The FPGA wants lsb first, and my SPI driver
doesn't support it.
What I really wanted to do here was to get generic support for lsb-first
SPI into the SPI subsystem.

OK.
If generic lsb first support for SPI is too high a bar (which it may be),
I will move the bit reversing code into the write function.

Thanks for the quick response!

We want to make it clear that this is for fpga configuration
using a specific programming method (passive serial).

How about altr,cyclone-ps-spi ?

I agree.

I agree. Some day we may want to see it useful to extend
the flow to do that. Currently it's not needed so we can
wait until we see clearly what is needed.

Hi Joshua,

This looks really good. Mostly minor comments.

Suggestions here and below to keep PS in the name of things.
Such as FPGA_MGR_CYCLONE_PS_SPI.

cyclone-ps-spi.o and change name of c file.

fpga-mgr.c's fpga_mgr_register() reads the initial state
from this function. Please return one of the values of enum
fpga_mgr_states here. If state isn't known, then use
FPGA_MGR_STATE_UNKNOWN.

Moritz brought up whether the delay/sleep values should be
configurable. It looks like these are set values and have
probably been increased for good measure. These could be
macros named to contain symbol names in the datasheet's PS
timing waveform, if that is where these are coming from.

The timing diagram has the Tcf2st0 as 800nSec max and
Tcf2st1 (below) as 40uSec. I guess either we are looking at
different specs or you just found that you got better
results if you padded the values out?

I would normally suggest a convention of macro names
that maps neatly to the value names in the datasheet
such as CYCLONE_PS_TCF2ST0_USEC. The problem is
the units.

CYCLONE_PS_TCF2ST1_USEC? I'm not sure what to suggest
because the units in the timing diagram I'm looking at are
nanoseconds but this ended up being a mSec.

Please fix checkpatch.pl warnings. Here and a few other places it

Does your hardware give you access to the CONF_DONE pin?
If so, can you get better status info from that?
