SRIO Functional Description
2.3.6 Doorbell
The doorbell operation, consisting of the DOORBELL and RESPONSE transactions (typically a DONE
response), as shown in Figure 26 , is used by a processing element to send a very short message to
another processing element through the interconnect fabric. The DOORBELL transaction contains the info
field to hold information and does not have a data payload. This field is software-defined and can be used
for any desired purpose; see Section 3.1.4, Type 10 Packet Formats (Doorbell Class), for information
about the info field. A processing element that receives a doorbell transaction takes the packet and puts it
in a doorbell message queue within the processing element. This queue may be implemented in hardware
or in local memory. This behavior is similar to that of typical message passing mailbox hardware. The local
processor is expected to read the queue to determine the sending processing element and the info field,
and determine what action to take.
The DOORBELL functionality is user-defined, but this packet type is commonly used to initiate CPU
interrupts. A DOORBELL packet is not associated with a particular data packet that was previously
transferred, so the info field of the packet must be configured to reflect the DOORBELL bit to be serviced
for the correct TID info to be processed.
Figure 26. Doorbell Operation
The DOORBELL packet’s 16-bit INFO field indicates which DOORBELL register interrupt bit to set. There
are four DOORBELL registers, each currently with 16 bits, allowing 64 interrupt sources or circular buffers.
Each bit can be assigned to any core as described below by the Interrupt Condition Routing Registers.
Additionally, each status bit is user-defined for the application. For instance, it may be desirable to support
multiple priorities with multiple TID circular buffers per core if control data uses a high priority (i.e., priority
= 2), while data packets are sent on priority 0 or 1. This allows the control packets to have preference in
the switch fabric and arrive as quickly as possible. Since it may be required to interrupt the CPU for both
data and control packet processing separately, separate circular buffers are used, and DOORBELL
packets need to distinguish between them for interrupt servicing. If any reserved bit in the DOORBELL
info field is set, an error response is sent.
