Linux kernel FPGA support
Alan Tull 2017
The main point of this project has been to separate the out the upper layers
that know when to reprogram a FPGA from the lower layers that know how to
reprogram a specific FPGA device. The intention is to make this manufacturer
agnostic, understanding that of course the FPGA images are very device specific
themselves.
The framework in the kernel includes:
* low level FPGA manager drivers that know how to program a specific device
* the fpga-mgr framework they are registered with
* low level FPGA bridge drivers for hard/soft bridges which are intended to
be disable during FPGA programming
* the fpga-bridge framework they are registered with
* the fpga-region framework which associates and controls managers and bridges
as reconfigurable regions
* the of-fpga-region support for reprogramming FPGAs when device tree overlays
are applied.
I would encourage you the user to add code that creates FPGA regions rather
that trying to control managers and bridges separately.
