Zephyr - Peripheral Support

This page contains a table which displays what peripherals are supported in Zephyr for various AMD FPGA and adaptive SoC hard processors.

Zephyr Driver Architecture

Zephyr drivers are written to abstract hardware information away from the driver itself, instead relying on devicetrees. When a call is made to “do something” using a driver, that driver’s API works with the device tree information to determine what the final outcome is.

Due to Zephyr’s driver architecture, porting AMD’s bare-metal drivers takes non-trivial effort. After the port is complete, the drivers are device agnostic and work on any device with Zephyr support.

Definition of EA/PROD

EA

• Core functionality support

• Supports essential data transfers

• Most common configurations

• Performance data without benchmark

• No error handling

• No negative test

• No SMP support

PROD

• All the required features

• All possible design configuration

• Best performance numbers

• Error handling

• Upstream

Supported Peripherals

Generating a Zephyr device tree removes all unsupported nodes from the device tree. However, users can hand edit the Zephyr device tree to test their custom drivers.
