-FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) is the standard we use for our I/O devices,
-in the context of White Rabbit and related hardware.
-
-In our I/O environments we need to write drivers for each mezzanine
-card, and such drivers must work regardless of the carrier being used.
-To achieve this, we abstract the FMC interface.
-
-We have a carrier for PCI-E called SPEC and one for VME called SVEC,
-but more are planned.  Also, we support stand-alone devices (usually
-plugged on a SPEC card), controlled through Etherbone, developed by GSI.
-
-Code and documentation for the FMC bus was born as part of the spec-sw
-project, but now it lives in its own project. Other projects, i.e.
-software support for the various carriers, should include this as a
-submodule.
-
-The most up to date version of code and documentation is always
-available from the repository you can clone from:
-
-        git://ohwr.org/fmc-projects/fmc-bus.git (read-only)
-        git@ohwr.org:fmc-projects/fmc-bus.git (read-write for developers)
-
-Selected versions of the documentation, as well as complete tar
-archives for selected revisions are placed to the Files section of the
-project: `http://www.ohwr.org/projects/fmc-bus/files'

-What is FMC
-***********
-
-FMC, as said, stands for "FPGA Mezzanine Card". It is a standard
-developed by the VME consortium called VITA (VMEbus International Trade
-Association and ratified by ANSI, the American National Standard
-Institute.  The official documentation is called "ANSI-VITA 57.1".
-
-The FMC card is an almost square PCB, around 70x75 millimeters, that is
-called mezzanine in this document.  It usually lives plugged into
-another PCB for power supply and control; such bigger circuit board is
-called carrier from now on, and a single carrier may host more than one
-mezzanine.
-
-In the typical application the mezzanine is mostly analog while the
-carrier is mostly digital, and hosts an FPGA that must be configured to
-match the specific mezzanine and the desired application. Thus, you may
-need to load different FPGA images to drive different instances of the
-same mezzanine.
-
-FMC, as such, is not a bus in the usual meaning of the term, because
-most carriers have only one connector, and carriers with several
-connectors have completely separate electrical connections to them.
-This package, however, implements a bus as a software abstraction.
-
-
-What is SDB
-***********
-
-SDB (Self Describing Bus) is a set of data structures that we use for
-enumerating the internal structure of an FPGA image. We also use it as
-a filesystem inside the FMC EEPROM.
-
-SDB is not mandatory for use of this FMC kernel bus, but if you have SDB
-this package can make good use of it.  SDB itself is developed in the
-fpga-config-space OHWR project. The link to the repository is
-`git://ohwr.org/hdl-core-lib/fpga-config-space.git' and what is used in
-this project lives in the sdbfs subdirectory in there.
-
-SDB support for FMC is described in *note FMC Identification:: and
-*note SDB Support::

-SDB Support
-***********
-
-The fmc.ko bus driver exports a few functions to help drivers taking
-advantage of the SDB information that may be present in your own FPGA
-memory image.
-
-The module exports the following functions, in the special header
-<linux/fmc-sdb.h>. The linux/ prefix in the name is there because we
-plan to submit it upstream in the future, and don't want to force
-changes on our drivers if that happens.
-
-         int fmc_scan_sdb_tree(struct fmc_device *fmc, unsigned long address);
-         void fmc_show_sdb_tree(struct fmc_device *fmc);
-         signed long fmc_find_sdb_device(struct sdb_array *tree, uint64_t vendor,
-                                         uint32_t device, unsigned long *sz);
-         int fmc_free_sdb_tree(struct fmc_device *fmc);
