NAME
rshim - user-space rshim driver for BlueField SoC
SYNOPSIS
rshim [options]
DESCRIPTION
rshim is the user-space rshim driver for BlueField SoC. It provides ways to access the rshim resources on
the BlueField target via USB or PCIe from external host machine. The current version implements virtual
console, virtual network interface, boot stream push, register access and some utility commands.
This driver will probe the rshim backend and create directory /dev/rshim<N> for each of them with the
following device files.
/dev/rshim<N>/boot
Boot device file used to push boot stream to the target, for example,
cat install.bfb > /dev/rshim<N>/boot
/dev/rshim<N>/console
Console device file, which can be used by console tools to connect to the target, such as
screen /dev/rshim<N>/console
/dev/rshim<N>/rshim
Device file used to access rshim register space. When reading/writing to this file, the offset is encoded
as "((rshim_channel << 16) | register_offset)". This file can be used by tools like openocd to do
CoreSight debugging.
/dev/rshim<N>/misc
Key/Value pairs used to read/write misc information. For example
Display the output
cat /dev/rshim0/misc
DISPLAY_LEVEL 0 (0:basic, 1:advanced, 2:log)
BF_MODE DPU mode
BOOT_MODE 1 (0:rshim, 1:emmc, 2:emmc-boot-swap)
BOOT_TIMEOUT 150 (seconds)
USB_TIMEOUT 20 (seconds)
DROP_MODE 0 (0:normal, 1:drop)
SW_RESET 0 (1: reset)
DEV_NAME usb-1.1
DEV_INFO BlueField-2(Rev 1)
OPN_STR N/A
FORCE_CMD 0 (1: send Force command)
Values for BF_MODE could be "Unknown", "DPU mode", "NIC mode", or, "Reserved"
Initiate SW reset
echo "SW_RESET 1" > /dev/rshim<N>/misc
Send a Force command to request the other rshim driver to release the rshim device
echo "FORCE_CMD 1" > /dev/rshim<N>/misc
Enable the advanced options
echo "DISPLAY_LEVEL 1" > /dev/rshim<N>/misc
cat /dev/rshim0/misc
DISPLAY_LEVEL 1 (0:basic, 1:advanced, 2:log)
BF_MODE DPU mode
BOOT_MODE 1 (0:rshim, 1:emmc, 2:emmc-boot-swap)
BOOT_TIMEOUT 100 (seconds)
SW_RESET 0 (1: reset)

OPTIONS
-b, --backend
Specify the backend to attach, which can be one of usb, pcie or pcie_lf. If not specified, the driver
will scan all rshim backends unless the '-d' option is given with a device name specified.
-c, --cmdmode
Run rshim as command line rather than as driver. The following sub-commands are supported (only for
USB backend).
-g, --get-debug
Get the current debug setting.
-s, set-debug <0 | 1>
Set the debug setting.
-d, --device
Specify the device name to attach with the format below. The backend driver can be deduced from the
device name, thus the '-b' option is not needed.
PCIe backend:
pcie-<bus>:<device>.<function>. Example: pcie-04:00.2
Devices can be found with command 'lspci -n'.
PCIe backend in livefish mode:
pcie-lf-<bus>:<device>.<function>. Example: pcie-04:00.2
Devices can be found with command 'lspci -n'.
USB backend:
usb-<bus>-xx.xx. Example: usb-2-1.7
Devices can be found under /sys/bus/usb/devices/.
-f, --foreground
Run in forground.
-F, --force
Put rshim driver in ownership-forceable mode (aka. force mode). In this mode, the driver will be put
rshim driver in ownership-forceable mode (aka, Force Mode):
1. It also always enables "/dev/rshim<N>/" creation even when rshim is not attached, allowing user to
manually send a ownership request to "/dev/rshim<N>/misc" interface at any time.
2. It will send a one time ownership request command to the other rshim backend upon start-up if the
rshim interface is already attached by another backend. This one-time request is for each rshim
device present (one request for rshim0, one for rshim1, etc) and will not be repeated until the next
driver restart.
For example, if the current rshim driver is running from host via PCIe, but the rshim device is
already in use by the other rshim driver running from BMC via USB, then the user can use this option
to try to force the other rshim driver to release the rshim device. The success of this operation
depends on the other rshim driver's implementation and behavior.
This option is equivalent to setting "FORCE_MODE" to 1 in rshim.conf.
-i, --index
Specify the index to create device path /dev/rshim<index>. It's also used to create network interface
name tmfifo_net<index>. This option is needed when multiple rshim instances are running.
-l, --log-level
Log level (0:none, 1:error, 2:warning, 3:notice, 4:debug) Log messages will be printed to standard
output when running in foreground, or in syslog when running as a daemon.
-v, --version
Display version
CONFIGURATION FILE
Rshim configuration file (/etc/rshim.conf) can be used to specify the static mapping between rshim
devices and rshim names. It can also be used to ignore some rshim devices.
Example:
# Map usb-2-1.7 to rshim0
rshim0 usb-2-1.7
# Map pcie-0000:04:00.2 to rshim1
rshim1 pcie-0000:04:00.2
# Ignore usb-1-1.4
none usb-1-1.4
