.Sh NAME

|
||||
.Nd AMD Non-Transparent Bridge driver
|
||||
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||||
To compile this driver into your kernel,
|
||||
place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
|
||||
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
||||
.Cd "device ntb"
|
||||
.Cd "device ntb_hw_amd"
|
||||
.Ed
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Or, to load the driver as a module at boot, place the following line in
|
||||
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
||||
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||
ntb_hw_amd_load="YES"
|
||||
.Ed
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The following sysctls are supported in this driver
|
||||
.Bl -ohang
|
||||
.It Va dev.ntb_hw.X.info
|
||||
Reading this sysctl will give the basic details like the number of memory
|
||||
windows, scratchpads and doorbells exposed by the NTB on the local host to
|
||||
access the devices beyond the bridge.
|
||||
It also provides details about the masked doorbells, translation address and
|
||||
size limit of each exposed memory window and link status information.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm ntb_hw_amd
|
||||
driver provides support for the Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB) hardware in
|
||||
AMD EPYC processor family.
|
||||
The Non-Transparent Bridge does not look as a regular PCI bridge, but as PCI
|
||||
endpoint device, hiding the devices behind it.
|
||||
The driver hides details of hardware on the other side, but exposes memory windows,
|
||||
scratchpads and doorbells to access the other side via hardware independent
|
||||
KPI to
|
||||
.Xr ntb 4
|
||||
subsystem.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The hardware provides 2 (both 64-bit) or 3 (one 32-bit and two 64-bit) memory
|
||||
windows to the other system's memory, up to 16 scratchpad registers and 16
|
||||
doorbells to communicate with and interrupt the other system respectively.
|
||||
.Sh CONFIGURATION
|
||||
The NTB configuration should be set by BIOS.
|
||||
This includes enabling NTB, choosing topology (only NTB-to-Root Port
|
||||
mode is supported now), role of the host in the topology.
|
||||
This needs to be done on both systems.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The BAR size for memory windows is configured to 1 MiB by default.
