1.1.6.6. Port Platform Module Device Driver Functions

  • Creates the Port character device node.
  • Creates the Port sysfs files and implements the Port sysfs file accessors.
  • Implements the Port private feature sub-drivers.
  • Port private feature sub-drivers:
    • Port Header
    • AFU
    • Port Error
    • UMsg2
    • Signal Tap
2 UMsg is only supported through Acceleration Stack for Intel® Xeon® Processor with Integrated FPGA.
