57562a72 - Staging: most: add MOST driver's core module

Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:11:48 +0000

Staging: most: add MOST driver's core moduleThis patch adds the core module of the MOST driver to the kernel's driverstaging area. This module is part of the MOST driver and handles theconfiguration interface in sysfs, the buffer management and the datarouting.MOST defines the protocol, hardware and software layers necessary to allowfor the efficient and low-cost transport of control, real-time and packetdata using a single medium (physical layer). Media currently in use arefiber optics, unshielded twisted pair cables (UTP) and coax cables. MOSTalso supports various speed grades up to 150 Mbps.For more information on MOST, visit the MOST Cooperation website:www.mostcooperation.com.Cars continue to evolve into sophisticated consumer electronics platforms,increasing the demand for reliable and simple solutions to support audio,video and data communications. MOST can be used to connect multipleconsumer devices via optical or electrical physical layers directly to oneanother or in a network configuration. As a synchronous network, MOSTprovides excellent Quality of Service and seamless connectivity foraudio/video streaming. Therefore, the driver perfectly fits to the missionof Automotive Grade Linux to create open source software solutions forautomotive applications.The driver consists basically of three layers. The hardware layer, thecore layer and the application layer. The core layer consists of the coremodule only. This module handles the communication flow through all threelayers, the configuration of the driver, the configuration interfacerepresentation in sysfs, and the buffer management.For each of the other two layers a selection of modules is provided. Thesemodules can arbitrarily be combined to meet the needs of the desiredsystem architecture. A module of the hardware layer is referred to as anHDM (hardware dependent module). Each module of this layer handles exactlyone of the peripheral interfaces of a network interface controller (e.g.USB, MediaLB, I2C). A module of the application layer is referred to as anAIM (application interfacing module). The modules of this layer give accessto MOST via one the following ways: character devices, ALSA, Networking orV4L2.To physically access MOST, an Intelligent Network Interface Controller(INIC) is needed.
