+XRTV2 Linux Kernel Driver Overview
+==================================

+
+XRTV2 drivers are second generation `XRT <https://github.com/Xilinx/XRT>`_
+drivers which support `Alveo <https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/alveo.html>`_
+PCIe platforms from Xilinx.
+
+XRTV2 drivers support *subsystem* style data driven platforms where driver's
+configuration and behavior is determined by meta data provided by the platform
+(in *device tree* format). Primary management physical function (MPF) driver
+is called **xmgmt**. Primary user physical function (UPF) driver is called
+**xuser** and HW subsystem drivers are packaged into a library module called
+**xrt-lib**, which is shared by **xmgmt** and **xuser** (under development).
+
+Alveo Platform Overview
+=======================
+
+Alveo platforms are architected as two physical FPGA partitions: *Shell* and
+*User*. The Shell provides basic infrastructure for the Alveo platform like
+PCIe connectivity, board management, Dynamic Function Exchange (DFX), sensors,
+clocking, reset, and security. User partition contains user compiled FPGA
+binary which is loaded by a process called DFX also known as partial
+reconfiguration.
+
+Physical partitions require strict HW compatibility with each other for DFX to
+work properly. Every physical partition has two interface UUIDs: *parent* UUID
+and *child* UUID. For simple single stage platforms, Shell → User forms parent
+child relationship. For complex two stage platforms, Base → Shell → User forms
+the parent child relationship chain.
+
+.. note::
+   Partition compatibility matching is key design component of Alveo platforms
+   and XRT. Partitions have child and parent relationship. A loaded partition
+   exposes child partition UUID to advertise its compatibility requirement for
+   child partition. When loading a child partition the xmgmt management driver
+   matches parent UUID of the child partition against child UUID exported by
+   the parent. Parent and child partition UUIDs are stored in the *xclbin*
+   (for user) or *xsabin* (for base and shell). Except for root UUID, VSEC,
+   hardware itself does not know about UUIDs. UUIDs are stored in xsabin and
+   xclbin.
+
+
+The physical partitions and their loading is illustrated below::
+

+          +-------+                      +---------------+
+
+
+Loading Sequence
+----------------
+
+The Shell partition is loaded from flash at system boot time. It establishes the
+PCIe link and exposes two physical functions to the BIOS. After OS boot, xmgmt
+driver attaches to PCIe physical function 0 exposed by the Shell and then looks
+for VSEC in PCIe extended configuration space. Using VSEC it determines the logic
+UUID of Shell and uses the UUID to load matching *xsabin* file from Linux firmware
+directory. The xsabin file contains metadata to discover peripherals that are part
+of Shell and firmware(s) for any embedded soft processors in Shell.
+
+The Shell exports child interface UUID which is used for compatibility check when
+loading user compiled xclbin over the User partition as part of DFX. When a user
+requests loading of a specific xclbin the xmgmt management driver reads the parent
+interface UUID specified in the xclbin and matches it with child interface UUID
+exported by Shell to determine if xclbin is compatible with the Shell. If match
+fails loading of xclbin is denied.
+
+xclbin loading is requested using ICAP_DOWNLOAD_AXLF ioctl command. When loading
+xclbin, xmgmt driver performs the following *logical* operations:
+
+1. Sanity check the xclbin contents
+2. Isolate the User partition
+3. Download the bitstream using the FPGA config engine (ICAP)
+4. De-isolate the User partition
+5. Program the clocks (ClockWiz) driving the User partition
+6. Wait for memory controller (MIG) calibration
+
+`Platform Loading Overview <https://xilinx.github.io/XRT/master/html/platforms_partitions.html>`_
+provides more detailed information on platform loading.
+
+
+xsabin
+------
+
+Each Alveo platform comes packaged with its own xsabin. The xsabin is trusted
+component of the platform. For format details refer to :ref:`xsabin/xclbin Container Format`.
+xsabin contains basic information like UUIDs, platform name and metadata in the
+form of device tree. See :ref:`Device Tree Usage` for details and example.
+
+xclbin
+------
+
+xclbin is compiled by end user using
+`Vitis <https://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/vitis/vitis-platform.html>`_
+tool set from Xilinx. The xclbin contains sections describing user compiled
+acceleration engines/kernels, memory subsystems, clocking information etc. It also
+contains bitstream for the user partition, UUIDs, platform name, etc. xclbin uses
+the same container format as xsabin which is described below.
+
+
+xsabin/xclbin Container Format
+------------------------------
+
+xclbin/xsabin is ELF-like binary container format. It is structured as series of sections.
+There is a file header followed by several section headers which is followed by sections.
+A section header points to an actual section. There is an optional signature at the end.
+The format is defined by header file ``xclbin.h``. The following figure illustrates a
+typical xclbin::
+
+
+           +---------------------+
+           |                     |
+           |       HEADER        |
+           +---------------------+
+           |   SECTION  HEADER   |
+           |                     |
+           +---------------------+
+           |         ...         |
+           |                     |
+           +---------------------+
+           |   SECTION  HEADER   |
+           |                     |
+           +---------------------+
+           |       SECTION       |
+           |                     |
+           +---------------------+
+           |         ...         |
+           |                     |
+           +---------------------+
+           |       SECTION       |
+           |                     |
+           +---------------------+
+           |      SIGNATURE      |
+           |      (OPTIONAL)     |
+           +---------------------+
+
+
+xclbin/xsabin files can be packaged, un-packaged and inspected using XRT utility
+called **xclbinutil**. xclbinutil is part of XRT open source software stack. The
+source code for xclbinutil can be found at
+https://github.com/Xilinx/XRT/tree/master/src/runtime_src/tools/xclbinutil
+
+For example to enumerate the contents of a xclbin/xsabin use the *--info* switch
+as shown below::
+
+  xclbinutil --info --input /opt/xilinx/firmware/u50/gen3x16-xdma/blp/test/bandwidth.xclbin
+  xclbinutil --info --input /lib/firmware/xilinx/862c7020a250293e32036f19956669e5/partition.xsabin
+
+
+Device Tree Usage
+-----------------
+
+As mentioned previously xsabin stores metadata which advertise HW subsystems present
+in a partition. The metadata is stored in device tree format with well defined schema.
+Subsystem instantiations are captured as children of ``addressable_endpoints`` node.
+Subsystem nodes have standard attributes like ``reg``, ``interrupts`` etc. Additionally
+the nodes also have PCIe specific attributes: ``pcie_physical_function`` and
+``pcie_bar_mapping``. These identify which PCIe physical function and which BAR space
+in that physical function the subsystem resides. XRT management driver uses this
+information to bind *platform drivers* to the subsystem instantiations. The platform
+drivers are found in **xrt-lib.ko** kernel module defined later. Below is an example
+of device tree for Alveo U50 platform::
+
+  /dts-v1/;
+
+  /{
+        logic_uuid = "f465b0a3ae8c64f619bc150384ace69b";

+
+
+
+Driver Modules
+==============
+
+xrt-lib.ko
+----------
+
+Repository of all subsystem drivers and pure software modules that can potentially
+be shared between xmgmt and xuser. All these drivers are structured as Linux
+*platform driver* and are instantiated by xmgmt (or xuser in future) based on meta
+data associated with hardware. The metadata is in the form of device tree as
+explained before.
+
+xmgmt.ko
+--------
+
+The xmgmt driver is a PCIe device driver driving MPF found on Xilinx's Alveo
+PCIE device. It consists of one *root* driver, one or more *partition* drivers
+and one or more *leaf* drivers. The root and MPF specific leaf drivers are in
+xmgmt.ko. The partition driver and other leaf drivers are in xrt-lib.ko.
+
+The instantiation of specific partition driver or leaf driver is completely data
+driven based on meta data (mostly in device tree format) found through VSEC
+capability and inside firmware files, such as xsabin or xclbin file. The root
+driver manages life cycle of multiple partition drivers, which, in turn, manages
+multiple leaf drivers. This allows a single set of driver code to support all
+kinds of subsystems exposed by different shells. The difference among all
+these subsystems will be handled in leaf drivers with root and partition drivers
+being part of the infrastructure and provide common services for all leaves found
+on all platforms.
+
+The driver object model looks like the following::
+
+                    +-----------+
+                    |   root    |
+                    +-----+-----+
+                          |
+              +-----------+-----------+
+              |                       |
+              v                       v
+        +-----------+          +-----------+
+        | partition |    ...   | partition |
+        +-----+-----+          +------+----+
+              |                       |
+              |                       |
+        +-----+----+            +-----+----+
+        |          |            |          |
+        v          v            v          v
+    +------+   +------+     +------+   +------+
+    | leaf |...| leaf |     | leaf |...| leaf |
+    +------+   +------+     +------+   +------+
+
+
+xmgmt-root
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The xmgmt-root driver is a PCIe device driver attached to MPF. It's part of the
+infrastructure of the MPF driver and resides in xmgmt.ko. This driver
+
+* manages one or more partition drivers
+* provides access to functionalities that requires pci_dev, such as PCIE config
+  space access, to other leaf drivers through parent calls
+* together with partition driver, facilities event callbacks for other leaf drivers
+* together with partition driver, facilities inter-leaf driver calls for other leaf
+  drivers
+
+When root driver starts, it will explicitly create an initial partition instance,
+which contains leaf drivers that will trigger the creation of other partition
+instances. The root driver will wait for all partitions and leaves to be created
+before it returns from it's probe routine and claim success of the initialization
+of the entire xmgmt driver.
+
+.. note::
+   See code in ``common/xrt-root.c`` and ``mgmt/xmgmt-root.c``
+
+
+partition
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+The partition driver is a platform device driver whose life cycle is managed by
+root and does not have real IO mem or IRQ resources. It's part of the
+infrastructure of the MPF driver and resides in xrt-lib.ko. This driver
+
+* manages one or more leaf drivers so that multiple leaves can be managed as a
+  group
+* provides access to root from leaves, so that parent calls, event notifications
+  and inter-leaf calls can happen
+
+In xmgmt, an initial partition driver instance will be created by root, which
+contains leaves that will trigger partition instances to be created to manage
+groups of leaves found on different partitions on hardware, such as VSEC, Shell,
+and User.
+
+Every *fpga_region* has a partition object associated with it. The partition is
+created when xclbin image is loaded on the fpga_region. The existing partition
+is destroyed when a new xclbin image is loaded. The fpga_region persists
+across xclbin downloads.
+
+.. note::
+   See code in ``lib/subdevs/xrt-partition.c``
+
+
+leaves
+^^^^^^
+
+The leaf driver is a platform device driver whose life cycle is managed by
+a partition driver and may or may not have real IO mem or IRQ resources. They
+are the real meat of xmgmt and contains platform specific code to Shell and
+User found on a MPF.
+
+A leaf driver may not have real hardware resources when it merely acts as a
+driver that manages certain in-memory states for xmgmt. These in-memory states
+could be shared by multiple other leaves.
+
+Leaf drivers assigned to specific hardware resources drive specific subsystem in
+the device. To manipulate the subsystem or carry out a task, a leaf driver may
+ask help from root via parent calls and/or from other leaves via inter-leaf calls.
+
+A leaf can also broadcast events through infrastructure code for other leaves
+to process. It can also receive event notification from infrastructure about
+certain events, such as post-creation or pre-exit of a particular leaf.
+
+.. note::
+   See code in ``lib/subdevs/*.c``
+
+
+FPGA Manager Interaction
+========================
+
+fpga_manager
+------------
+
+An instance of fpga_manager is created by xmgmt_main and is used for xclbin
+image download. fpga_manager requires the full xclbin image before it can
+start programming the FPGA configuration engine via ICAP subdev driver.
+
+fpga_region
+-----------
+
+A new instance of fpga_region is created like a *child* region for every
+interface exposed by currently loaded xclbin or xsabin in the *parent*
+fpga_region. The device tree of the *parent* fpga_region defines the
+resources for a new instance of fpga_bridge which isolates the parent from
+child fpga_region. This new instance of fpga_bridge will be used when a
+xclbin image is loaded on the child fpga_region. After the xclbin image is
+downloaded to the fpga_region, a partition instance is created for the
+fpga_region using the device tree obtained as part of xclbin. This device
+tree defines any child interfaces then it can trigger the creation of
+fpga_bridge and fpga_region for the next region in the chain.
+
+fpga_bridge
+-----------
+
+Like fpga_region, matching fpga_bridge is also created by walking the device
+tree of the parent partition.
+
+Driver Interfaces
+=================
+
+xmgmt Driver Ioctls
+-------------------
+
+Ioctls exposed by xmgmt driver to user space are enumerated in the following table:
+
+== ===================== ============================= ===========================
+#  Functionality         ioctl request code            data format
+== ===================== ============================= ===========================
+1  FPGA image download   XMGMT_IOCICAPDOWNLOAD_AXLF    xmgmt_ioc_bitstream_axlf
+2  CL frequency scaling  XMGMT_IOCFREQSCALE            xmgmt_ioc_freqscaling
+== ===================== ============================= ===========================
+
+A xclbin can be downloaded by using xbmgmt tool from XRT open source suite. See
+example usage below ::
+
+  xbmgmt partition --program --path /lib/firmware/xilinx/862c7020a250293e32036f19956669e5/test/verify.xclbin --force
+
+xmgmt Driver Sysfs
+------------------
+
+xmgmt driver exposes a rich set of sysfs interfaces. Subsystem platform
+drivers export sysfs node for every platform instance.
+
+Every partition also exports its UUIDs. See below for examples::
+
+  /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:06:00.0/xmgmt_main.0/interface_uuids
+  /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:06:00.0/xmgmt_main.0/logic_uuids
+
+
+hwmon
+-----
+
+xmgmt driver exposes standard hwmon interface to report voltage, current,
+temperature, power, etc. These can easily be viewed using *sensors* command
+line utility.
+
+
+Platform Security Considerations
+================================
+
+`Security of Alveo Platform <https://xilinx.github.io/XRT/master/html/security.html>`_
+discusses the deployment options and security implications in great detail.
