- [VirtIO Specification v1.1](https://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.1/virtio-v1.1.html)
- [VirtIO Specification v1.2](https://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.2/virtio-v1.2.html)
## Implementation Details
### Feature Negotiation
Modern VirtIO uses 64-bit feature negotiation:
- Device exposes features via `device_features` register (selected by `device_features_sel`)
- Driver acknowledges features via `driver_features` register (selected by `driver_features_sel`)
- For modern devices, the driver must negotiate `VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1` (feature bit 32)
### Queue Initialization
**Legacy VirtIO:**
- Uses single `queue_pfn` register pointing to the start of the queue area
- Guest page size configured via `guest_page_size`
**Modern VirtIO:**
- Uses separate registers for descriptor, driver (avail), and device (used) areas:
- `queue_desc_low`/`queue_desc_high`: Descriptor table address
- `queue_driver_low`/`queue_driver_high`: Available ring address
- `queue_device_low`/`queue_device_high`: Used ring address
- Queue activated via `queue_ready` register
### Status Flow
**Modern VirtIO adds FEATURES_OK check:**
1. Reset device (status = 0)
2. Set ACKNOWLEDGE and DRIVER status bits
3. Read and negotiate features
4. Write negotiated features to device
5. Set FEATURES_OK status bit
6. Re-read status to verify FEATURES_OK (device may reject features)
7. If accepted, proceed with queue setup and set DRIVER_OK
## Troubleshooting
### Device Not Detected
Check that:
1. QEMU is configured with VirtIO devices
2. The VirtIO version matches your QEMU configuration
3. The device memory region is correctly mapped
### Build Errors
Ensure:
1. The Kconfig is properly configured
2. All VirtIO header files are included
3. The BSP supports VirtIO (check `BSP_USING_VIRTIO`)
### Runtime Issues
Debug tips:
1. Check device version in MMIO config
2. Verify feature negotiation succeeded
3. Check queue initialization (descriptor, avail, used ring addresses)
4. Monitor interrupt status and acknowledgment
## Contributing
When adding new VirtIO devices or features:
1. Support both legacy and modern versions
2. Use the helper functions for feature negotiation (`virtio_get_features`, `virtio_set_features`)
3. Use version checking (`dev->version`) for version-specific code
4. Test on both legacy and modern QEMU configurations

# RT-Thread VirtIO 驱动
[English](README.md) | 中文
## 概述
VirtIO 驱动为 RT-Thread 提供虚拟 I/O 设备支持,主要用于 QEMU 等虚拟化环境。
## 支持的版本
驱动现已支持传统版和现代版 VirtIO 规范:
- **传统版 VirtIO (v0.95)**:版本字段为 0x1,兼容较旧的 QEMU 版本
- **现代版 VirtIO (v1.0+)**:版本字段为 0x2,支持 VirtIO 1.0、1.1 和 1.2 规范
## 支持的设备
- **VirtIO 块设备 (virtio-blk)**:虚拟块设备
- **VirtIO 网络设备 (virtio-net)**:虚拟网络接口
- **VirtIO 控制台 (virtio-console)**:虚拟串口控制台
- **VirtIO GPU (virtio-gpu)**:虚拟图形设备
- **VirtIO 输入设备 (virtio-input)**:虚拟输入设备(键盘、鼠标、触摸板)
## 配置
使用 `menuconfig` 配置 VirtIO 支持:
```
RT-Thread Components → Device Drivers → Using VirtIO device drivers
```
### 版本选择
在传统版和现代版 VirtIO 之间选择:
```
RT-Thread Components → Device Drivers → Using VirtIO device drivers → VirtIO Version
```
选项:
- **VirtIO Legacy (v0.95)**:与较旧的 QEMU 版本兼容(默认)
- **VirtIO Modern (v1.0+)**:用于较新的 QEMU 版本(2.4+),具有增强功能
### 设备选择
启用各个 VirtIO 设备:
- `RT_USING_VIRTIO_BLK`:VirtIO 块设备支持
- `RT_USING_VIRTIO_NET`:VirtIO 网络设备支持
- `RT_USING_VIRTIO_CONSOLE`:VirtIO 控制台支持
- `RT_USING_VIRTIO_GPU`:VirtIO GPU 支持
- `RT_USING_VIRTIO_INPUT`:VirtIO 输入设备支持
## 主要区别
### 传统版 VirtIO (v0.95)
- 32 位特性协商
- 单一队列描述符区域
- 简单状态标志
- 客户机页面大小配置
### 现代版 VirtIO (v1.0+)
- 64 位特性协商(支持更多特性)
- 独立的描述符/驱动/设备队列区域
- 增强的状态流程,带 FEATURES_OK 检查
- 更好的内存对齐和原子性保证
## 迁移指南
### 从传统版迁移到现代版
1. 更新 QEMU 命令行以使用现代版 VirtIO 设备(最新的 QEMU 版本默认使用现代版)
2. 在 menuconfig 中更改 VirtIO 版本:
```
RT-Thread Components → Device Drivers → Using VirtIO device drivers → VirtIO Version
→ 选择 "VirtIO Modern (v1.0+)"
```
3. 重新构建应用程序
4. 驱动将自动与设备协商 VERSION_1 特性
### 向后兼容性
驱动从 MMIO 配置中自动检测设备版本,并相应调整其行为。传统版(版本 0x1)和现代版(版本 0x2)设备在同一构建中都受支持。
## BSP 支持
以下 BSP 已更新以支持传统版和现代版 VirtIO:
- `qemu-virt64-riscv`:QEMU RISC-V 64 位
- `qemu-virt64-aarch64`:QEMU ARM64 (AArch64)
