7 The QMSS (Queue Manager Sub System) found on Keystone SOCs is one of
8 the main hardware sub system which forms the backbone of the Keystone
9 multi-core Navigator. QMSS consist of queue managers, packed-data structure
10 processors(PDSP), linking RAM, descriptor pools and infrastructure
12 The Queue Manager is a hardware module that is responsible for accelerating
13 management of the packet queues. Packets are queued/de-queued by writing or
14 reading descriptor address to a particular memory mapped location. The PDSPs
15 perform QMSS related functions like accumulation, QoS, or event management.
16 Linking RAM registers are used to link the descriptors which are stored in
17 descriptor RAM. Descriptor RAM is configurable as internal or external memory.
18 The QMSS driver manages the PDSP setups, linking RAM regions,
19 queue pool management (allocation, push, pop and notify) and descriptor
22 knav qmss driver provides a set of APIs to drivers to open/close qmss queues,
23 allocate descriptor pools, map the descriptors, push/pop to queues etc. For
24 details of the available APIs, please refers to include/linux/soc/ti/knav_qmss.h

29 Accumulator QMSS queues using PDSP firmware
30 ============================================
31 The QMSS PDSP firmware support accumulator channel that can monitor a single
32 queue or multiple contiguous queues. drivers/soc/ti/knav_qmss_acc.c is the
33 driver that interface with the accumulator PDSP. This configures
34 accumulator channels defined in DTS (example in DT documentation) to monitor
35 1 or 32 queues per channel. More description on the firmware is available in
36 CPPI/QMSS Low Level Driver document (docs/CPPI_QMSS_LLD_SDS.pdf) at
37 git://git.ti.com/keystone-rtos/qmss-lld.git
39 k2_qmss_pdsp_acc48_k2_le_1_0_0_9.bin firmware supports upto 48 accumulator
40 channels. This firmware is available under ti-keystone folder of
42 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
44 To use copy the firmware image to lib/firmware folder of the initramfs or
45 ubifs file system and provide a sym link to k2_qmss_pdsp_acc48_k2_le_1_0_0_9.bin
46 in the file system and boot up the kernel. User would see
48 "firmware file ks2_qmss_pdsp_acc48.bin downloaded for PDSP"
50 in the boot up log if loading of firmware to PDSP is successful.
52 Use of accumulated queues requires the firmware image to be present in the
53 file system. The driver doesn't acc queues to the supported queue range if
54 PDSP is not running in the SoC. The API call fails if there is a queue open
55 request to an acc queue and PDSP is not running. So make sure to copy firmware
56 to file system before using these queue types.
