44 SECTION 2: PCI Configuration Registers
45 ======================================
47 PCI Configuration Space
48 -----------------------
50 Each switch instance registers as a PCI device with PCI configuration space:

73 0x40 1 TRDY timeout
74 0x41 1 Retry count
75 0x42 2 Reserved
78 * Assigned by sub-system implementation
80 SECTION 3: Memory-Mapped Register Space
81 =======================================
83 There are two memory-mapped BARs. BAR0 maps device register space and is
84 0x2000 in size. BAR1 maps MSI-X vector and PBA tables and is also 0x2000 in
85 size, allowing for 256 MSI-X vectors.
87 All registers are 4 or 8 bytes long. It is assumed host software will access 4
88 byte registers with one 4-byte access, and 8 byte registers with either two
89 4-byte accesses or a single 8-byte access. In the case of two 4-byte accesses,
90 access must be lower and then upper 4-bytes, in that order.
92 BAR0 device register space is organized as follows:
94 offset description
95 ------------------------------------------------------
96 0x0000-0x000f Bogus registers to catch misbehaving
97 drivers. Writes do nothing. Reads
98 back as 0xDEADBABE.
99 0x0010-0x00ff Test registers
100 0x0300-0x03ff General purpose registers
101 0x1000-0x1fff Descriptor control
103 Holes in register space are reserved. Writes to reserved registers do nothing.
104 Reads to reserved registers read back as 0.
106 No fancy stuff like write-combining is enabled on any of the registers.
108 BAR1 MSI-X register space is organized as follows:
110 offset description
111 ------------------------------------------------------
112 0x0000-0x0fff MSI-X vector table (256 vectors total)
113 0x1000-0x1fff MSI-X PBA table
116 SECTION 4: Interrupts, DMA, and Endianness
117 ==========================================
119 PCI Interrupts
120 --------------
122 The device supports only MSI-X interrupts. BAR1 memory-mapped region contains
123 the MSI-X vector and PBA tables, with support for up to 256 MSI-X vectors.
125 The vector assignment is:
127 vector description
128 -----------------------------------------------------
129 0 Command descriptor ring completion
130 1 Event descriptor ring completion
131 2 Test operation completion
132 3 RSVD
133 4-255 Tx and Rx descriptor ring completion
134 Tx vector is even
135 Rx vector is odd
137 A MSI-X vector table entry is 16 bytes:
139 field offset width description
140 -------------------------------------------------------------
141 lower_addr 0x0 4 [31:2] message address[31:2]
142 [1:0] Rsvd (4 byte alignment
143 required)
144 upper_addr 0x4 4 [31:19] Rsvd
145 [14:0] message address[46:32]
146 data 0x8 4 message data[31:0]
147 control 0xc 4 [31:1] Rsvd
148 [0] mask (0 = enable,
149 1 = masked)
151 Software should install the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) before any ports
152 are enabled or any commands are issued on the command ring.
154 DMA Operations
155 --------------
157 DMA operations are used for packet DMA to/from the CPU, command and event
158 processing. Command processing includes statistical counters and table dumps,
159 table insertion/deletion, and more. Event processing provides an async
160 notification method for device-originating events. Each DMA operation has a
161 set of control registers to manage a descriptor ring. The descriptor rings are
162 allocated from contiguous host DMA-able memory and registers specify the rings
163 base address, size and current head and tail indices. Software always writes
164 the head, and hardware always writes the tail.
166 The higher-order bit of DMA_DESC_COMP_ERR is used to mark hardware completion
167 of a descriptor. Software will clear this bit when posting a descriptor to the
168 ring, and hardware will set this bit when the descriptor is complete.
170 Descriptor ring sizes must be a power of 2 and range from 2 to 64K entries.
171 Descriptor rings' base address must be 8-byte aligned. Descriptors must be
172 packed within ring. Each descriptor in each ring must also be aligned on an 8
173 byte boundary. Each descriptor ring will have these registers:
175 DMA_DESC_xxx_BASE_ADDR, offset 0x1000 + (x * 32), 64-bit, (R/W)
176 DMA_DESC_xxx_SIZE, offset 0x1008 + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R/W)
177 DMA_DESC_xxx_HEAD, offset 0x100c + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R/W)
178 DMA_DESC_xxx_TAIL, offset 0x1010 + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R)
179 DMA_DESC_xxx_CTRL, offset 0x1014 + (x * 32), 32-bit, (W)
180 DMA_DESC_xxx_CREDITS, offset 0x1018 + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R/W)
181 DMA_DESC_xxx_RSVD1, offset 0x101c + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R/W)
183 Where x is descriptor ring index:
185 index ring
186 --------------------
187 0 CMD
188 1 EVENT
189 2 TX (port 0)
190 3 RX (port 0)

196 124 TX (port 61)
197 125 RX (port 61)
198 126 Resv
199 127 Resv
201 Writing BASE_ADDR or SIZE will reset HEAD and TAIL to zero. HEAD cannot be
202 written past TAIL. To do so would wrap the ring. An empty ring is when HEAD
203 == TAIL. A full ring is when HEAD is one position behind TAIL. Both HEAD and
204 TAIL increment and modulo wrap at the ring size.
206 CTRL register bits:
208 bit name description
209 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
210 [0] CTRL_RESET Reset the descriptor ring
211 [1:31] Reserved
213 All descriptor types share some common fields:
215 field width description
216 -------------------------------------------------------------------
217 DMA_DESC_BUF_ADDR 8 Phys addr of desc payload, 8-byte
218 aligned
219 DMA_DESC_COOKIE 8 Desc cookie for completion matching,
220 upper-most bit is reserved
221 DMA_DESC_BUF_SIZE 2 Desc payload size in bytes
222 DMA_DESC_TLV_SIZE 2 Desc payload total size in bytes
223 used for TLVs. Must be <=
224 DMA_DESC_BUF_SIZE.
225 DMA_DESC_COMP_ERR 2 Completion status of associated
226 desc payload. High order bit is
227 clear on new descs, toggled by
228 hw for completed items.
230 To support forward- and backward-compatibility, descriptor and completion
231 payloads are specified in TLV format. Fields are packed with Type=field name,
232 Length=field length, and Value=field value. Software will ignore unknown fields
233 filled in by the switch. Likewise, the switch will ignore unknown fields
234 filled in by software.
236 Descriptor payload buffer is 8-byte aligned and TLVs are 8-byte aligned. The
237 value within a TLV is also 8-byte aligned. The (packed, 8 byte) TLV header is:
239 field width description
240 -----------------------------
241 type 4 TLV type
242 len 2 TLV value length
243 pad 2 Reserved
245 The alignment requirements for descriptors and TLVs are to avoid unaligned
246 access exceptions in software. Note that the payload for each TLV is also
247 8 byte aligned.
249 Figure 1 shows an example descriptor buffer with two TLVs.

280 Interrupt credits
281 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
283 MSI-X vectors used for descriptor ring completions use a credit mechanism for
284 efficient device, PCIe bus, OS and driver operations. Each descriptor ring has
285 a credit count which represents the number of outstanding descriptors to be
286 processed by the driver. As the device marks descriptors complete, the credit
287 count is incremented. As the driver processes those outstanding descriptors,
288 it returns credits back to the device. This way, the device knows the driver's
289 progress and can make decisions about when to fire the next interrupt or not.
290 When the credit count is zero, and the first descriptors are posted for the
291 driver, a single interrupt is fired. Once the interrupt is fired, the
292 interrupt is disabled (auto-masked*). In response to the interrupt, the driver
293 will process descriptors and PIO write a returned credit value for that
294 descriptor ring. If the driver returns all credits (the driver caught up with
295 the device and there is no outstanding work), then the interrupt is unmasked,
296 but not fired. If only partial credits are returned, the interrupt remains
297 masked but the device generates an interrupt, signaling the driver that more
298 outstanding work is available.
300 (* this masking is unrelated to the MSI-X interrupt mask register)
302 Endianness
303 ----------
305 Device registers are hard-coded to little-endian (LE). The driver should
306 convert to/from host endianness to LE for device register accesses.
308 Descriptors are LE. Descriptor buffer TLVs will have LE type and length
309 fields, but the value field can either be LE or network-byte-order, depending
310 on context. TLV values containing network packet data will be in network-byte
311 order. A TLV value containing a field or mask used to compare against network
312 packet data is network-byte order. For example, flow match fields (and masks)
313 are network-byte-order since they're matched directly, byte-by-byte, against
314 network packet data. All non-network-packet TLV multi-byte values will be LE.
316 TLV values in network-byte-order are designated with (N).
319 SECTION 5: Test Registers
320 =========================
322 Rocker has several test registers to support troubleshooting register access,
323 interrupt generation, and DMA operations:
325 TEST_REG, offset 0x0010, 32-bit (R/W)
326 TEST_REG64, offset 0x0018, 64-bit (R/W)
327 TEST_IRQ, offset 0x0020, 32-bit (R/W)
328 TEST_DMA_ADDR, offset 0x0028, 64-bit (R/W)
329 TEST_DMA_SIZE, offset 0x0030, 32-bit (R/W)
330 TEST_DMA_CTRL, offset 0x0034, 32-bit (R/W)
332 Reads to TEST_REG and TEST_REG64 will read a value equal to twice the last
333 value written to the register. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions are for testing
334 32-bit and 64-bit host accesses.
336 A vector can be written to TEST_IRQ and the device will generate an interrupt
337 for that vector.
339 To test basic DMA operations, allocate a DMA-able host buffer and put the
340 buffer address into TEST_DMA_ADDR and size into TEST_DMA_SIZE. Then, write to
341 TEST_DMA_CTRL to manipulate the buffer contents. TEST_DMA_CTRL operations are:
343 operation value description
344 -----------------------------------------------------------
345 TEST_DMA_CTRL_CLEAR 1 clear buffer
346 TEST_DMA_CTRL_FILL 2 fill buffer bytes with 0x96
347 TEST_DMA_CTRL_INVERT 4 invert bytes in buffer
349 Various buffer address and sizes should be tested to verify no address boundary
350 issue exists. In particular, buffers that start on odd-8-byte boundary and/or
351 span multiple PAGE sizes should be tested.
354 SECTION 6: Ports
355 ================
357 Physical and Logical Ports
358 ------------------------------------
360 The switch supports up to 62 physical (front-panel) ports. Register
361 PORT_PHYS_COUNT returns the actual number of physical ports available:
363 PORT_PHYS_COUNT, offset 0x0304, 32-bit, (R)
365 In addition to front-panel ports, the switch supports logical ports for
366 tunnels.
368 Front-panel ports and logical tunnel ports are mapped into a single 32-bit port
369 space. A special CPU port is assigned port 0. The front-panel ports are
370 mapped to ports 1-62. A special loopback port is assigned port 63. Logical
371 tunnel ports are assigned ports 0x0001000-0x0001ffff.
372 To summarize the port assignments:
374 port mapping
375 -------------------------------------------------------
376 0 CPU port (for packets to/from host CPU)
377 1-62 front-panel physical ports
378 63 loopback port
379 64-0x0000ffff RSVD
380 0x00010000-0x0001ffff logical tunnel ports
381 0x00020000-0xffffffff RSVD
383 Physical Port Mode
384 ------------------
386 Switch front-panel ports operate in a mode. Currently, the only mode is
387 OF-DPA. OF-DPA[1] mode is based on OpenFlow Data Plane Abstraction (OF-DPA)
388 Abstract Switch Specification, Version 1.0, from Broadcom Corporation. To
389 set/get the mode for front-panel ports, see port settings, below.
391 Port Settings
392 -------------
394 Link status for all front-panel ports is available via PORT_PHYS_LINK_STATUS:
396 PORT_PHYS_LINK_STATUS, offset 0x0310, 64-bit, (R)
398 Value is port bitmap. Bits 0 and 63 always read 0. Bits 1-62
399 read 1 for link UP and 0 for link DOWN for respective front-panel ports.
401 Other properties for front-panel ports are available via DMA CMD descriptors:

434 MACADDR 6 Port MAC address
435 MODE 1 0 = OF-DPA
437 Port Enable
438 -----------
440 Front-panel ports are initially disabled, which means port ingress and egress
441 packets will be dropped. To enable or disable a port, use PORT_PHYS_ENABLE:
443 PORT_PHYS_ENABLE: offset 0x0318, 64-bit, (R/W)
445 Value is bitmap of first 64 ports. Bits 0 and 63 are ignored
446 and always read as 0. Write 1 to enable port; write 0 to disable it.
447 Default is 0.
450 SECTION 7: Switch Control
451 =========================
453 This section covers switch-wide register settings.
455 Control
456 -------
458 This register is used for low level control of the switch.
460 CONTROL: offset 0x0300, 32-bit, (W)
462 bit name description
463 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
464 [0] CONTROL_RESET If set, device will perform reset
465 [1:31] Reserved
467 Switch ID
468 ---------
470 The switch has a SWITCH_ID to be used by software to uniquely identify the
471 switch:
473 SWITCH_ID: offset 0x0320, 64-bit, (R)
475 Value is opaque to switch software and no special encoding is implied.
478 SECTION 8: Events
479 =================
481 Non-I/O asynchronous events from the device are notified to the host using the
482 event ring. The TLV structure for events is:
484 field width description
485 ---------------------------------------------------
486 TYPE 4 Event type, one of:
487 1: LINK_CHANGED
488 2: MAC_VLAN_SEEN
489 INFO <nest> Event info (details below)
491 Link Changed Event
492 ------------------
494 When link status changes on a physical port, this event is generated.
496 field width description
497 ---------------------------------------------------
498 INFO <nest>
499 PPORT 4 Physical port
500 LINKUP 1 Link status:
501 0: down
502 1: up
504 MAC VLAN Seen Event
505 -------------------
507 When a packet ingresses on a port and the source MAC/VLAN isn't known to the
508 device, the device will generate this event. In response to the event, the
509 driver should install to the device the MAC/VLAN on the port into the bridge
510 table. Once installed, the MAC/VLAN is known on the port and this event will
511 no longer be generated.
513 field width description
514 ---------------------------------------------------
515 INFO <nest>
516 PPORT 4 Physical port
517 MAC 6 MAC address
518 VLAN 2 VLAN ID
521 SECTION 9: CPU Packet Processing
522 ================================
524 Ingress packets directed to the host CPU for further processing are delivered
525 in the DMA RX ring. Likewise, host CPU originating packets destined to egress
526 on switch ports are scheduled by software using the DMA TX ring.
528 Tx Packet Processing
529 --------------------
531 Software schedules packets for egress on switch ports using the DMA TX ring. A
532 TX descriptor buffer describes the packet location and size in host DMA-able
533 memory, the destination port, and any hardware-offload functions (such as L3
534 payload checksum offload). Software then bumps the descriptor head to signal
535 hardware of new Tx work. In response, hardware will DMA read Tx descriptors up
536 to head, DMA read descriptor buffer and packet data, perform offloading
537 functions, and finally frame packet on wire (network). Once packet processing
538 is complete, hardware will writeback status to descriptor(s) to signal to
539 software that Tx is complete and software resources (e.g. skb) backing packet
540 can be released.
542 Figure 2 shows an example 3-fragment packet queued with one Tx descriptor. A
543 TLV is used for each packet fragment.

573 The TLVs for Tx descriptor buffer are:
575 field width description
576 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
577 PPORT 4 Destination physical port #
578 TX_OFFLOAD 1 Hardware offload modes:
579 0: no offload

588 4: TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload)
589 TX_L3_CSUM_OFF 2 For L3 csum offload mode, the offset,
590 from the beginning of the packet,

593 Maximum Segment Size in bytes
594 TX_TSO_HDR_LEN 2 For TSO offload mode, the

597 and TCP options.
598 TX_FRAGS <array> Packet fragments
599 TX_FRAG <nest> Packet fragment
600 TX_FRAG_ADDR 8 DMA address of packet fragment
601 TX_FRAG_LEN 2 Packet fragment length
603 Possible status return codes in descriptor on completion are:
605 DESC_COMP_ERR reason
606 --------------------------------------------------------------------
607 0 OK
608 -ROCKER_ENXIO address or data read err on desc buf or packet
609 fragment
610 -ROCKER_EINVAL bad pport or TSO or csum offloading error
611 -ROCKER_ENOMEM no memory for internal staging tx fragment
613 Rx Packet Processing
614 --------------------
616 For packets ingressing on switch ports that are not forwarded by the switch but
617 rather directed to the host CPU for further processing are delivered in the DMA
618 RX ring. Rx descriptor buffers are allocated by software and placed on the
619 ring. Hardware will fill Rx descriptor buffers with packet data, write the
620 completion, and signal to software that a new packet is ready. Since Rx packet
621 size is not known a-priori, the Rx descriptor buffer must be allocated for
622 worst-case packet size. A single Rx descriptor will contain the entire Rx
623 packet data in one RX_FRAG. Other Rx TLVs describe and hardware offloads
624 performed on the packet, such as checksum validation.
626 The TLVs for Rx descriptor buffer are:
628 field width description

634 (1 << 2): csum calculated
635 (1 << 3): IPv4 csum good
636 (1 << 4): IP fragment
637 (1 << 5): TCP packet
638 (1 << 6): UDP packet
639 (1 << 7): TCP/UDP csum good
640 (1 << 8): Offload forward
641 RX_CSUM 2 IP calculated checksum:
642 IPv4: IP payload csum
643 IPv6: header and payload csum
644 (Only valid is RX_FLAGS:csum calc is set)
645 RX_FRAG_ADDR 8 DMA address of packet fragment
646 RX_FRAG_MAX_LEN 2 Packet maximum fragment length
647 RX_FRAG_LEN 2 Actual packet fragment length after receive
649 Offload forward RX_FLAG indicates the device has already forwarded the packet
650 so the host CPU should not also forward the packet.
652 Possible status return codes in descriptor on completion are:
654 DESC_COMP_ERR reason
655 --------------------------------------------------------------------
656 0 OK
657 -ROCKER_ENXIO address or data read err on desc buf

659 -ROCKER_EMSGSIZE Rx descriptor buffer wasn't big enough to contain
660 packet data TLV and other TLVs.
663 SECTION 10: OF-DPA Mode
664 ======================
666 OF-DPA mode allows the switch to offload flow packet processing functions to
667 hardware. An OpenFlow controller would communicate with an OpenFlow agent
668 installed on the switch. The OpenFlow agent would (directly or indirectly)
669 communicate with the Rocker switch driver, which in turn would program switch
670 hardware with flow functionality, as defined in OF-DPA. The block diagram is:
672 +–––––––––––––––----–––+
673 | OF |
674 | Remote Controller |
675 +––––––––+––----–––––––+
676 |
677 |
678 +––––––––+–––––––––+
679 | OF |
680 | Local Agent |
681 +––––––––––––––––––+
682 | |
683 | Rocker Driver |

685 <this spec>
686 +––––––––––––––––––+
687 | |
688 | Rocker Switch |
689 +––––––––––––––––––+
691 To participate in flow functions, ports must be configure for OF-DPA mode
692 during switch initialization.
