This device driver is the result of collaboration within the RapidIO.org
Software Task Group (STG) between Texas Instruments, Prodrive Technologies,
Nokia Networks, BAE and IDT. Additional input was received from other members
of RapidIO.org.
The objective was to create a character mode driver interface which exposes
messaging capabilities of RapidIO endpoint devices (mports) directly
to applications, in a manner that allows the numerous and varied RapidIO
implementations to interoperate.
This driver (RIO_CM) provides to user-space applications shared access to
RapidIO mailbox messaging resources.
RapidIO specification (Part 2) defines that endpoint devices may have up to four
messaging mailboxes in case of multi-packet message (up to 4KB) and
up to 64 mailboxes if single-packet messages (up to 256 B) are used. In addition
to protocol definition limitations, a particular hardware implementation can
have reduced number of messaging mailboxes. RapidIO aware applications must
therefore share the messaging resources of a RapidIO endpoint.
Main purpose of this device driver is to provide RapidIO mailbox messaging
capability to large number of user-space processes by introducing socket-like
operations using a single messaging mailbox. This allows applications to
use the limited RapidIO messaging hardware resources efficiently.
Most of device driver's operations are supported through 'ioctl' system calls.
When loaded this device driver creates a single file system node named rio_cm
in /dev directory common for all registered RapidIO mport devices.
Following ioctl commands are available to user-space applications:
- RIO_CM_MPORT_GET_LIST:
Returns to caller list of local mport devices that

By default this driver uses RapidIO MBOX_1 (MBOX_0 is reserved for use by RIONET Ethernet emulation driver).

generated by this device driver. This parameter is formed by set of
bit masks that correspond to the specific functional block.
For mask definitions see 'drivers/rapidio/devices/rio_cm.c'
This parameter can be changed dynamically.
Use CONFIG_RAPIDIO_DEBUG=y to enable debug output at the top level.
- 'cmbox'
- Number of RapidIO mailbox to use (default value is 1).
rapidio: add RapidIO channelized messaging driver Add channelized messaging driver to support native RapidIO messaging exchange between multiple senders/recipients on devices that use kernel RapidIO subsystem services.

This parameter allows to set messaging mailbox number that will be used
within entire RapidIO network. It can be used when default mailbox is
used by other device drivers or is not supported by some nodes in the
RapidIO network.
- 'chstart'
- Start channel number for dynamic assignment. Default value - 256.
