Technical documentation for Synopsys Ethernet QoS Controller (eqos)
Date: Sun, 03 Aug 2025 00:43:20 UTC
I'm trying to extend eqos(4) to support more of the controller's functionality: Checksum offload and ideally TCP offload. I have "Rockchip RK3568 TRM Part2 V1.1-20210301.pdf" but that's missing documentation on the DMA interface and there are some discrepancies between it and the existing FreeBSD code. Some specific questions: * The existing code supports Synopsys versions 0x51 and 0x52. The RK3566 (and, based on the above TRM, RK3568) are version 0x51. Does anyone know what chips have version 0x52? * Is anyone aware of errata regarding the controller's support of checksum offload or TCP offload? * Does anyone have documentation on the actual configuration of the DMA registers? I notice the eqos(4) code initialises the ring buffer length to 1 less than the number of ring buffers but there's no mention of this in the TRM I have. I've had a quick look at NetBSD and OpenBSD. The latter doesn't appear to have an eqos driver and the former doesn't seem to support any functionality that FreeBSD doesn't. -- Peter Jeremy
