PCI - how does it work at the hardware level? http://www.fpga4fun.com/PCI.html How does PCI worked in Linux? From the documentation Documentation/PCI/pci.txt - here are the setup/teardown details: (how to write a PCI drivers?) Once the driver knows about a PCI device and takes ownership, the driver generally needs to perform the following initialization: Enable the device Request MMIO/IOP resources Set the DMA mask size (for both coherent and streaming DMA) Allocate and initialize shared control data (pci_allocate_coherent()) Access device configuration space (if needed) Register IRQ handler (request_irq()) Initialize non-PCI (i.e. LAN/SCSI/etc parts of the chip) Enable DMA/processing engines When done using the device, and perhaps the module needs to be unloaded, the driver needs to take the follow steps: Disable the device from generating IRQs Release the IRQ (free_irq()) Stop all DMA activity Release DMA buffers (both streaming and coherent) Unregister from other subsystems (e.g. scsi or netdev) Release MMIO/IOP resources Disable the device On the other hand, how to write a userspace PCI drivers: http://lwn.net/Articles/197523/ What are the commands to control the PCI?
