One Line Summary

Support for configurable PCIe endpoint

Abstract

The PCIe controller present in some of the current SoCs is capable of operating either in
Root Complex mode or Endpoint mode. But linux kernel right now supports configuring the PCIe controller only in RC mode.

PCIe endpoint support in Linux Kernel has a variety of use cases from validation of the PCI controller/driver/core to exposing peripherals/processors to be used as an accelerator by the root complex system.

The proposal to add endpoint support in Linux Kernel has already been discussed in LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/3/28) and looks like it will be beneficial to a lot of people.

This presentation will discuss/propose/review the architecture of the EP framework.
