This is actually a subsystem description, with contains both kAPI and uAPI. While it should ideally be slplit, let's place it at driver-api, as most things are related to kAPI and driver-specific info. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
RapidIO is a high speed switched fabric interconnect with features aimed
|
|
at the embedded market. RapidIO provides support for memory-mapped I/O
|
|
as well as message-based transactions over the switched fabric network.
|
|
RapidIO has a standardized discovery mechanism not unlike the PCI bus
|
|
standard that allows simple detection of devices in a network.
|
|
|
|
This documentation is provided for developers intending to support
|
|
RapidIO on new architectures, write new drivers, or to understand the
|
|
subsystem internals.

Known Bugs and Limitations
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Bugs
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
None. ;)
|
|
|
|
Limitations
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
1. Access/management of RapidIO memory regions is not supported
|
|
|
|
2. Multiple host enumeration is not supported
|
|
|
|
RapidIO driver interface
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Drivers are provided a set of calls in order to interface with the
|
|
subsystem to gather info on devices, request/map memory region
|
|
resources, and manage mailboxes/doorbells.
