      misc: Add CARMA DATA-FPGA Access Driver · c186f0e1
      Ira Snyder 提交于
      This driver allows userspace to access the data processing FPGAs on the
      OVRO CARMA board. It has two modes of operation:
      
      1) random access
      
      This allows users to poke any DATA-FPGA registers by using mmap to map
      the address region directly into their memory map.
      
      2) correlation dumping
      
      When correlating, the DATA-FPGA's have special requirements for getting
      the data out of their memory before the next correlation. This nominally
      happens at 64Hz (every 15.625ms). If the data is not dumped before the
      next correlation, data is lost.
      
      The data dumping driver handles buffering up to 1 second worth of
      correlation data from the FPGAs. This lowers the realtime scheduling
      requirements for the userspace process reading the device.
