The devices must all be -registered at the same time because if the FPGA is reprogrammed, all -devices in the array are affected. Usually, the driver matching the -first device will reprogram the FPGA, so other devices must know they -are already driven by a reprogrammed FPGA. - -If a carrier hosts slots that are driven by different FPGA devices, it -should register as a group only mezzanines that are driven by the same -FPGA, for the reason outlined above. - -Finally, the fmc_reprogram function calls the reprogram method (see -*note The API Offered by Carriers:: and also scans the memory area for -an SDB tree. You can pass -1 as sdb_entry to disable such scan. -Otherwise, the function fails if no tree is found at the specified -entry point. The function is meant to factorize common code, and by -the time you read this it is already used by the spec-sw and fine-delay -modules. |
