Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 0/8] spi: axi-spi-engine: add offload support
Date: Fri, 10 May 2024 19:44:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240510-dlech-mainline-spi-engine-offload-2-v2-0-8707a870c435@baylibre.com> (raw)
Continuing the discussion started a few months ago [1]...
It was suggested that we were trying to do too much in one series. So
we split out part of the series into a separate series that adds generic
support for pre-preparing SPI messages [2]. That work has been merged.

[2]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-spi/20240219-mainline-spi-precook-message-v2-0-4a762c6701b9@baylibre.com/
I was hoping to also break down the remaining work into smaller parts by
first only considering more generic offload support that could be used
with the regular SPI message queue and leaving out the hardware trigger
bits. But the hardware I have at hand is not capable of doing that so
this is the best I can do for now. (Happy to take suggestions if someone
knows some other hardware that could be used for this.)
There have been significant changes since the last version so I'll
discuss what changed in each patch instead of having a very lengthy
cover letter.
A working branch complete with extra hacks can be found at [3].

As a recap, here is the background and end goal of this series:
The AXI SPI Engine is a SPI controller that has the ability to record a
series of SPI transactions and then play them back using a hardware
trigger. This allows operations to be performed, repeating many times,
without any CPU intervention. This is needed for achieving high data
rates (millions of samples per second) from ADCs and DACs that are
connected via a SPI bus.
The offload hardware interface consists of a trigger input and a data
output for the RX data. These are connected to other hardware external
to the SPI controller.
To record one or more transactions, commands and TX data are written
to memories in the controller (RX buffer is not used since RX data gets
piped to an external sink). This sequence of transactions can then be
played back when the trigger input is asserted.
This series includes core SPI support along with the first SPI
controller (AXI SPI Engine) and SPI peripheral (AD7944 ADC) that use
them. This enables capturing analog data at 2 million samples per
second.
The hardware setup looks like this:
+-------------------------------+ +------------------+
