<p>As the name already mentioned the project provides a virtual filesystem for the
|
||||||
|
operating system. The filesystem abstrect each each reconfigurable part inside a
|
||||||
|
host system or inside one chip by a directory. The permissions of the files can
|
||||||
|
provide access control for different users. The following listing shows the directory
|
||||||
|
entries which will be created. These entries can be seen as the assigned context to
|
||||||
|
the FPGA interface:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>/fpgafs/example/cmd: write only file, this is the interface to send
|
||||||
|
defined commands to the context.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>/fpgafs/example/stat: read only file, from which the context's status
|
||||||
|
can be received.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>/fpgafs/example/din: write only file, sends data to the reconfigurable
|
||||||
|
device.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>/fpgafs/example/dout: read only file, receives calculated data from
|
||||||
|
the device.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>/fpgafs/example/load: write only file, writes data which should be
|
||||||
|
loaded onto the reconfigurable device.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>/fpgafs/foobar/lldrv: write only file, selects the low level driver
|
||||||
|
which should be used.</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
In general, the complete framework provides a generic interface to the userspace
|
||||||
|
and a flexible and changeable interface to the hardware. Figure 1 shows the design of
|
||||||
|
the framework. At the bottom, there are low level drivers which must be registered on
|
||||||
|
the main FPGAFS. On top of the low-level drivers, different contexts are shown
|
||||||
|
which are represented by directories.</p>

<h2 class="subtitle">Low Level Driver</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>All low level drivers implement an interface which will be used by more generalized
|
||||||
|
functions from the low level management. The structure "fpgafs_lldrv" provides at least
|
||||||
|
the defined function pointers. Each low level driver can be loaded and unloaded as a
|
||||||
|
common Linux module. The init function of each low level driver has to call the
|
||||||
|
registration function of the FPGAFS low level management module. At unloading the module
|
||||||
|
the unregistration function will be called. With this concept different hardware
|
||||||
|
accelerators can be supported and each low level driver can implement its own
|
||||||
|
communication functions. So each low level driver brings its own programming routine
|
||||||
|
for the accelerator. This gives the possibility to create accelerators that can handle
|
||||||
|
more than one application at once. For example, the accelerator can reprogram parts of
|
||||||
|
the accelerator and can be used without reconfiguring the whole accelerator. However,
|
||||||
|
this functionality totally depends on the underlying hardware and the programming
|
||||||
|
mechanism. But the framework will support such and other functionalities because of
|
||||||
|
the flexible layer concept.</p><br />
