5.4.2. Intel® RSU Driver

The Intel® RSU driver exports the RSU services using the sysfs interface. The source code is located in the drivers/firmware/stratix10-rsu.c file.

The default kernel configuration defines CONFIG_INTEL_STRATIX10_RSU=m which means it is configured as a loadable module which needs to be loaded with insmod. For information about how to use this driver, refer to the Exercising the RSU Client section, located in the LIBRSU Reference Information appendix.

The driver offers its services through the following sysfs files located in the /sys/devices/platform/stratix10-rsu.0 folder. This path is a configurable parameter for LIBRSU. For more information, refer to the Configuration File section, located in the LIBRSU Reference Information appendix.
