PCI Configuration Registers
PCI Configuration Space
Each switch instance registers as a PCI device with PCI configuration space:

* Assigned by sub-system implementation
Memory-Mapped Register Space
There are two memory-mapped BARs. BAR0 maps device register space and is 0x2000 in size. BAR1 maps MSI-X vector and PBA tables and is also 0x2000 in size, allowing for 256 MSI-X vectors.
All registers are 4 or 8 bytes long. It is assumed host software will access 4 byte registers with one 4-byte access, and 8 byte registers with either two 4-byte accesses or a single 8-byte access. In the case of two 4-byte accesses, access must be lower and then upper 4-bytes, in that order.
BAR0 device register space is organized as follows:
offset description
------------------------------------------------------
0x0000-0x000f Bogus registers to catch misbehaving
drivers. Writes do nothing. Reads
back as 0xDEADBABE.
0x0010-0x00ff Test registers
0x0300-0x03ff General purpose registers
0x1000-0x1fff Descriptor control
Holes in register space are reserved. Writes to reserved registers do nothing. Reads to reserved registers read back as 0.
No fancy stuff like write-combining is enabled on any of the registers.
BAR1 MSI-X register space is organized as follows:
offset description
------------------------------------------------------
0x0000-0x0fff MSI-X vector table (256 vectors total)
0x1000-0x1fff MSI-X PBA table
Interrupts, DMA, and Endianness
PCI Interrupts
The device supports only MSI-X interrupts. BAR1 memory-mapped region contains the MSI-X vector and PBA tables, with support for up to 256 MSI-X vectors.
The vector assignment is:
vector description
-----------------------------------------------------
0 Command descriptor ring completion
1 Event descriptor ring completion
2 Test operation completion
3 RSVD
4-255 Tx and Rx descriptor ring completion
Tx vector is even
Rx vector is odd
A MSI-X vector table entry is 16 bytes:
field offset width description
-------------------------------------------------------------
lower_addr 0x0 4 [31:2] message address[31:2]
[1:0] Rsvd (4 byte alignment
required)
upper_addr 0x4 4 [31:19] Rsvd
[14:0] message address[46:32]
data 0x8 4 message data[31:0]
control 0xc 4 [31:1] Rsvd
[0] mask (0 = enable,
1 = masked)
Software should install the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) before any ports are enabled or any commands are issued on the command ring.
DMA Operations
DMA operations are used for packet DMA to/from the CPU, command and event processing. Command processing includes statistical counters and table dumps, table insertion/deletion, and more. Event processing provides an async notification method for device-originating events. Each DMA operation has a set of control registers to manage a descriptor ring. The descriptor rings are allocated from contiguous host DMA-able memory and registers specify the rings base address, size and current head and tail indices. Software always writes the head, and hardware always writes the tail.
The higher-order bit of DMA_DESC_COMP_ERR is used to mark hardware completion of a descriptor. Software will clear this bit when posting a descriptor to the ring, and hardware will set this bit when the descriptor is complete.
Descriptor ring sizes must be a power of 2 and range from 2 to 64K entries. Descriptor rings’ base address must be 8-byte aligned. Descriptors must be packed within ring. Each descriptor in each ring must also be aligned on an 8 byte boundary. Each descriptor ring will have these registers:
DMA_DESC_xxx_BASE_ADDR, offset 0x1000 + (x * 32), 64-bit, (R/W)
DMA_DESC_xxx_SIZE, offset 0x1008 + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R/W)
DMA_DESC_xxx_HEAD, offset 0x100c + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R/W)
DMA_DESC_xxx_TAIL, offset 0x1010 + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R)
DMA_DESC_xxx_CTRL, offset 0x1014 + (x * 32), 32-bit, (W)
DMA_DESC_xxx_CREDITS, offset 0x1018 + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R/W)
DMA_DESC_xxx_RSVD1, offset 0x101c + (x * 32), 32-bit, (R/W)
Where x is descriptor ring index:
index ring
--------------------
0 CMD
1 EVENT
2 TX (port 0)
3 RX (port 0)
4 TX (port 1)
5 RX (port 1)
.
.
.
124 TX (port 61)
125 RX (port 61)
126 Resv
127 Resv
Writing BASE_ADDR or SIZE will reset HEAD and TAIL to zero. HEAD cannot be written past TAIL. To do so would wrap the ring. An empty ring is when HEAD == TAIL. A full ring is when HEAD is one position behind TAIL. Both HEAD and TAIL increment and modulo wrap at the ring size.
CTRL register bits:
bit name description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[0] CTRL_RESET Reset the descriptor ring
[1:31] Reserved
All descriptor types share some common fields:
field width description
-------------------------------------------------------------------
DMA_DESC_BUF_ADDR 8 Phys addr of desc payload, 8-byte
aligned
DMA_DESC_COOKIE 8 Desc cookie for completion matching,
upper-most bit is reserved
DMA_DESC_BUF_SIZE 2 Desc payload size in bytes
DMA_DESC_TLV_SIZE 2 Desc payload total size in bytes
used for TLVs. Must be <=
DMA_DESC_BUF_SIZE.
DMA_DESC_COMP_ERR 2 Completion status of associated
desc payload. High order bit is
clear on new descs, toggled by
hw for completed items.
To support forward- and backward-compatibility, descriptor and completion payloads are specified in TLV format. Fields are packed with Type=field name, Length=field length, and Value=field value. Software will ignore unknown fields filled in by the switch. Likewise, the switch will ignore unknown fields filled in by software.
Descriptor payload buffer is 8-byte aligned and TLVs are 8-byte aligned. The value within a TLV is also 8-byte aligned. The (packed, 8 byte) TLV header is:
field width description
-----------------------------
type 4 TLV type
len 2 TLV value length
pad 2 Reserved
The alignment requirements for descriptors and TLVs are to avoid unaligned access exceptions in software. Note that the payload for each TLV is also 8 byte aligned.
Figure 1 shows an example descriptor buffer with two TLVs:
<------- 8 bytes ------->

TLVs can be nested within the NEST TLV type.
Interrupt credits
MSI-X vectors used for descriptor ring completions use a credit mechanism for efficient device, PCIe bus, OS and driver operations. Each descriptor ring has a credit count which represents the number of outstanding descriptors to be processed by the driver. As the device marks descriptors complete, the credit count is incremented. As the driver processes those outstanding descriptors, it returns credits back to the device. This way, the device knows the driver’s progress and can make decisions about when to fire the next interrupt or not. When the credit count is zero, and the first descriptors are posted for the driver, a single interrupt is fired. Once the interrupt is fired, the interrupt is disabled (auto-masked*). In response to the interrupt, the driver will process descriptors and PIO write a returned credit value for that descriptor ring. If the driver returns all credits (the driver caught up with the device and there is no outstanding work), then the interrupt is unmasked, but not fired. If only partial credits are returned, the interrupt remains masked but the device generates an interrupt, signaling the driver that more outstanding work is available.
(* this masking is unrelated to the MSI-X interrupt mask register)
Endianness
Device registers are hard-coded to little-endian (LE). The driver should convert to/from host endianness to LE for device register accesses.
Descriptors are LE. Descriptor buffer TLVs will have LE type and length fields, but the value field can either be LE or network-byte-order, depending on context. TLV values containing network packet data will be in network-byte order. A TLV value containing a field or mask used to compare against network packet data is network-byte order. For example, flow match fields (and masks) are network-byte-order since they’re matched directly, byte-by-byte, against network packet data. All non-network-packet TLV multi-byte values will be LE.
TLV values in network-byte-order are designated with (N).
Test Registers
Rocker has several test registers to support troubleshooting register access, interrupt generation, and DMA operations:
TEST_REG, offset 0x0010, 32-bit (R/W)
TEST_REG64, offset 0x0018, 64-bit (R/W)
TEST_IRQ, offset 0x0020, 32-bit (R/W)
TEST_DMA_ADDR, offset 0x0028, 64-bit (R/W)
TEST_DMA_SIZE, offset 0x0030, 32-bit (R/W)
TEST_DMA_CTRL, offset 0x0034, 32-bit (R/W)
Reads to TEST_REG and TEST_REG64 will read a value equal to twice the last value written to the register. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions are for testing 32-bit and 64-bit host accesses.
A vector can be written to TEST_IRQ and the device will generate an interrupt for that vector.
To test basic DMA operations, allocate a DMA-able host buffer and put the buffer address into TEST_DMA_ADDR and size into TEST_DMA_SIZE. Then, write to TEST_DMA_CTRL to manipulate the buffer contents. TEST_DMA_CTRL operations are:
operation value description
-----------------------------------------------------------
TEST_DMA_CTRL_CLEAR 1 clear buffer
TEST_DMA_CTRL_FILL 2 fill buffer bytes with 0x96
TEST_DMA_CTRL_INVERT 4 invert bytes in buffer
Various buffer address and sizes should be tested to verify no address boundary issue exists. In particular, buffers that start on odd-8-byte boundary and/or span multiple PAGE sizes should be tested.
Ports
Physical and Logical Ports
The switch supports up to 62 physical (front-panel) ports. Register PORT_PHYS_COUNT returns the actual number of physical ports available:
PORT_PHYS_COUNT, offset 0x0304, 32-bit, (R)
In addition to front-panel ports, the switch supports logical ports for tunnels.
Front-panel ports and logical tunnel ports are mapped into a single 32-bit port space. A special CPU port is assigned port 0. The front-panel ports are mapped to ports 1-62. A special loopback port is assigned port 63. Logical tunnel ports are assigned ports 0x0001000-0x0001ffff. To summarize the port assignments:
port mapping
-------------------------------------------------------
0 CPU port (for packets to/from host CPU)
1-62 front-panel physical ports
63 loopback port
64-0x0000ffff RSVD
0x00010000-0x0001ffff logical tunnel ports
0x00020000-0xffffffff RSVD
Physical Port Mode
Switch front-panel ports operate in a mode. Currently, the only mode is OF-DPA. OF-DPA[1] mode is based on OpenFlow Data Plane Abstraction (OF-DPA) Abstract Switch Specification, Version 1.0, from Broadcom Corporation. To set/get the mode for front-panel ports, see port settings, below.
Port Settings
Link status for all front-panel ports is available via PORT_PHYS_LINK_STATUS:
PORT_PHYS_LINK_STATUS, offset 0x0310, 64-bit, (R)
Value is port bitmap. Bits 0 and 63 always read 0. Bits 1-62
read 1 for link UP and 0 for link DOWN for respective front-panel ports.
Other properties for front-panel ports are available via DMA CMD descriptors:

Port Enable
Front-panel ports are initially disabled, which means port ingress and egress packets will be dropped. To enable or disable a port, use PORT_PHYS_ENABLE:
PORT_PHYS_ENABLE: offset 0x0318, 64-bit, (R/W)
Value is bitmap of first 64 ports. Bits 0 and 63 are ignored
and always read as 0. Write 1 to enable port; write 0 to disable it.
Default is 0.
Switch Control
This section covers switch-wide register settings.
Control
This register is used for low level control of the switch:
CONTROL: offset 0x0300, 32-bit, (W)
bit name description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[0] CONTROL_RESET If set, device will perform reset
[1:31] Reserved
Switch ID
The switch has a SWITCH_ID to be used by software to uniquely identify the switch:
SWITCH_ID: offset 0x0320, 64-bit, (R)
Value is opaque to switch software and no special encoding is implied.
Events
Non-I/O asynchronous events from the device are notified to the host using the event ring. The TLV structure for events is:
field width description
---------------------------------------------------
TYPE 4 Event type, one of:
1: LINK_CHANGED
2: MAC_VLAN_SEEN
INFO <nest> Event info (details below)
Link Changed Event
When link status changes on a physical port, this event is generated:
field width description
---------------------------------------------------
INFO <nest>
PPORT 4 Physical port
LINKUP 1 Link status:
0: down
1: up
MAC VLAN Seen Event
When a packet ingresses on a port and the source MAC/VLAN isn’t known to the device, the device will generate this event. In response to the event, the driver should install to the device the MAC/VLAN on the port into the bridge table. Once installed, the MAC/VLAN is known on the port and this event will no longer be generated.
field width description
---------------------------------------------------
INFO <nest>
PPORT 4 Physical port
MAC 6 MAC address
VLAN 2 VLAN ID
CPU Packet Processing
Ingress packets directed to the host CPU for further processing are delivered in the DMA RX ring. Likewise, host CPU originating packets destined to egress on switch ports are scheduled by software using the DMA TX ring.
Tx Packet Processing
Software schedules packets for egress on switch ports using the DMA TX ring. A TX descriptor buffer describes the packet location and size in host DMA-able memory, the destination port, and any hardware-offload functions (such as L3 payload checksum offload). Software then bumps the descriptor head to signal hardware of new Tx work. In response, hardware will DMA read Tx descriptors up to head, DMA read descriptor buffer and packet data, perform offloading functions, and finally frame packet on wire (network). Once packet processing is complete, hardware will writeback status to descriptor(s) to signal to software that Tx is complete and software resources (e.g. skb) backing packet can be released.
Figure 2 shows an example 3-fragment packet queued with one Tx descriptor. A TLV is used for each packet fragment:

TX_FRAGS <array> Packet fragments
TX_FRAG <nest> Packet fragment
TX_FRAG_ADDR 8 DMA address of packet fragment
TX_FRAG_LEN 2 Packet fragment length
Possible status return codes in descriptor on completion are:
DESC_COMP_ERR reason
--------------------------------------------------------------------
0 OK
-ROCKER_ENXIO address or data read err on desc buf or packet
fragment
-ROCKER_EINVAL bad pport or TSO or csum offloading error
-ROCKER_ENOMEM no memory for internal staging tx fragment
Rx Packet Processing
For packets ingressing on switch ports that are not forwarded by the switch but rather directed to the host CPU for further processing are delivered in the DMA RX ring. Rx descriptor buffers are allocated by software and placed on the ring. Hardware will fill Rx descriptor buffers with packet data, write the completion, and signal to software that a new packet is ready. Since Rx packet size is not known a-priori, the Rx descriptor buffer must be allocated for worst-case packet size. A single Rx descriptor will contain the entire Rx packet data in one RX_FRAG. Other Rx TLVs describe and hardware offloads performed on the packet, such as checksum validation.
The TLVs for Rx descriptor buffer are:
field width description
---------------------------------------------------
PPORT 4 Source physical port #
RX_FLAGS 2 Packet parsing flags:
(1 << 0): IPv4 packet
(1 << 1): IPv6 packet
(1 << 2): csum calculated
(1 << 3): IPv4 csum good
(1 << 4): IP fragment
(1 << 5): TCP packet
(1 << 6): UDP packet
(1 << 7): TCP/UDP csum good
(1 << 8): Offload forward
RX_CSUM 2 IP calculated checksum:
IPv4: IP payload csum
IPv6: header and payload csum
(Only valid is RX_FLAGS:csum calc is set)
RX_FRAG_ADDR 8 DMA address of packet fragment
RX_FRAG_MAX_LEN 2 Packet maximum fragment length
RX_FRAG_LEN 2 Actual packet fragment length after receive
Offload forward RX_FLAG indicates the device has already forwarded the packet so the host CPU should not also forward the packet.
Possible status return codes in descriptor on completion are:
DESC_COMP_ERR reason
--------------------------------------------------------------------
0 OK
-ROCKER_ENXIO address or data read err on desc buf
-ROCKER_ENOMEM no memory for internal staging desc buf
-ROCKER_EMSGSIZE Rx descriptor buffer wasn't big enough to contain
packet data TLV and other TLVs.
OF-DPA Mode
OF-DPA mode allows the switch to offload flow packet processing functions to hardware. An OpenFlow controller would communicate with an OpenFlow agent installed on the switch. The OpenFlow agent would (directly or indirectly) communicate with the Rocker switch driver, which in turn would program switch hardware with flow functionality, as defined in OF-DPA. The block diagram is:
+–––––––––––––––----–––+
| OF |
| Remote Controller |
+––––––––+––----–––––––+
|
|
+––––––––+–––––––––+
| OF |
| Local Agent |
+––––––––––––––––––+
| |
| Rocker Driver |
+––––––––––––––––––+
<this spec>
+––––––––––––––––––+
| |
| Rocker Switch |
+––––––––––––––––––+
To participate in flow functions, ports must be configure for OF-DPA mode during switch initialization.
OF-DPA Flow Table Interface
There are commands to add, modify, delete, and get stats of flow table entries. The commands are issued using the DMA CMD descriptor ring. The following commands are defined:
CMD_ADD: add an entry to flow table
CMD_MOD: modify an entry in flow table
CMD_DEL: delete an entry from flow table
CMD_GET_STATS: get stats for flow entry
TLVs for add and modify commands are:
field width description
----------------------------------------------------
OF_DPA_CMD 2 CMD_[ADD|MOD]
OF_DPA_TBL 2 Flow table ID

Group Table Interface
There are commands to add, modify, delete, and get stats of group table entries. The commands are issued using the DMA CMD descriptor ring. The following commands are defined:
CMD_ADD: add an entry to group table
CMD_MOD: modify an entry in group table
CMD_DEL: delete an entry from group table
CMD_GET_STATS: get stats for group entry
TLVs for add and modify commands are:
