FSI interfaces have been used successfully for +many years in IBM servers to attach IBM Flexible Support Processors(FSP) to +CPUs and IBM ASICs. + +FSI allows a service processor access to the internal buses of a host POWER +processor to perform configuration or debugging. FSI has long existed in POWER +processes and so comes with some baggage, including how it has been integrated +into the ASPEED SoC. + +Working backwards from the POWER processor, the fundamental pieces of interest +for the implementation are: (see the `FSI specification`_ for more details) + +1. The Common FRU Access Macro (CFAM), an address space containing various + "engines" that drive accesses on buses internal and external to the POWER + chip. Examples include the SBEFIFO and I2C masters. The engines hang off of + an internal Local Bus (LBUS) which is described by the CFAM configuration + block. + +2. The FSI slave: The slave is the terminal point of the FSI bus for FSI + symbols addressed to it. Slaves can be cascaded off of one another. The + slave's configuration registers appear in address space of the CFAM to + which it is attached. + +3. The FSI master: A controller in the platform service processor (e.g. BMC) + driving CFAM engine accesses into the POWER chip. At the hardware level + FSI is a bit-based protocol supporting synchronous and DMA-driven accesses + of engines in a CFAM. + +4. The On-Chip Peripheral Bus (OPB): A low-speed bus typically found in POWER + processors. This now makes an appearance in the ASPEED SoC due to tight + integration of the FSI master IP with the OPB, mainly the existence of an + MMIO-mapping of the CFAM address straight onto a sub-region of the OPB + address space. + +5. An APB-to-OPB bridge enabling access to the OPB from the ARM core in the + AST2600. Hardware limitations prevent the OPB from being directly mapped + into APB, so all accesses are indirect through the bridge. + +The LBUS is modelled to maintain the qdev bus hierarchy and to take advantages +of the object model to automatically generate the CFAM configuration block. +The configuration block presents engines in the order they are attached to the +CFAM's LBUS. Engine implementations should subclass the LBusDevice and set the +'config' member of LBusDeviceClass to match the engine's type. + +CFAM designs offer a lot of flexibility, for instance it is possible for a +CFAM to be simultaneously driven from multiple FSI links. The modeling is not +so complete; it's assumed that each CFAM is attached to a single FSI slave (as +a consequence the CFAM subclasses the FSI slave). + +As for FSI, its symbols and wire-protocol are not modelled at all. This is not +necessary to get FSI off the ground thanks to the mapping of the CFAM address +space onto the OPB address space - the models follow this directly and map the +CFAM memory region into the OPB's memory region. + +The following commands start the ``rainier-bmc`` machine with built-in FSI +model. There are no model specific arguments.
