Annotated Snippet
Keystone Navigator DMA Controller
This document explains the device tree bindings for the packet dma
on keystone devices. The Keystone Navigator DMA driver sets up the dma
channels and flows for the QMSS(Queue Manager SubSystem) who triggers
the actual data movements across clients using destination queues. Every
client modules like NETCP(Network Coprocessor), SRIO(Serial Rapid IO),
CRYPTO Engines etc has its own instance of dma hardware. QMSS has also
an internal packet DMA module which is used as an infrastructure DMA
with zero copy.

Navigator DMA properties:
Required properties:
- compatible: Should be "ti,keystone-navigator-dma"
- clocks: phandle to dma instances clocks. The clock handles can be as
many as the dma instances. The order should be maintained as per
the dma instances.
- ti,navigator-cloud-address: Should contain base address for the multi-core
navigator cloud and number of addresses depends on SOC integration
configuration.. Navigator cloud global address needs to be programmed
into DMA and the DMA uses it as the physical addresses to reach queue
managers. Note that these addresses though points to queue managers,
they are relevant only from DMA perspective. The QMSS may not choose to
use them since it has a different address space view to reach all
its components.
DMA instance properties:
Required properties:
- reg: Should contain register location and length of the following dma
register regions. Register regions should be specified in the following
order.
- Global control register region (global).
- Tx DMA channel configuration register region (txchan).
- Rx DMA channel configuration register region (rxchan).
- Tx DMA channel Scheduler configuration register region (txsched).
- Rx DMA flow configuration register region (rxflow).
Optional properties:
- reg-names: Names for the register regions.
- ti,enable-all: Enable all DMA channels vs clients opening specific channels
what they need. This property is useful for the userspace fast path
case where the linux drivers enables the channels used by userland
stack.
- ti,loop-back: To loopback Tx streaming I/F to Rx streaming I/F. Used for
infrastructure transfers.
- ti,rx-retry-timeout: Number of dma cycles to wait before retry on buffer
starvation.
Example:
knav_dmas: knav_dmas@0 {
compatible = "ti,keystone-navigator-dma";
clocks = <&papllclk>, <&clkxge>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
ranges;
ti,navigator-cloud-address = <0x23a80000 0x23a90000

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
