+PCI vNTB Function
+=================
+
+:Author: Frank Li <Frank.Li@nxp.com>
+
+The difference between PCI NTB function and PCI vNTB function is
+
+PCI NTB function need at two endpoint instances and connect HOST1
+and HOST2.
+
+PCI vNTB function only use one host and one endpoint(EP), use NTB
+connect EP and PCI host

+PCI Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB) Endpoint Function (EPF) User Guide
+===================================================================
+
+:Author: Frank Li <Frank.Li@nxp.com>
+
+This document is a guide to help users use pci-epf-vntb function driver
+and ntb_hw_epf host driver for NTB functionality. The list of steps to
+be followed in the host side and EP side is given below. For the hardware
+configuration and internals of NTB using configurable endpoints see
+Documentation/PCI/endpoint/pci-vntb-function.rst
+
+Endpoint Device
+===============
+
+Endpoint Controller Devices
+---------------------------
+
+To find the list of endpoint controller devices in the system::
+
+ # ls /sys/class/pci_epc/
+ 5f010000.pcie_ep
+
+If PCI_ENDPOINT_CONFIGFS is enabled::
+
+ # ls /sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/controllers
+ 5f010000.pcie_ep
+
+Endpoint Function Drivers
+-------------------------
+
+To find the list of endpoint function drivers in the system::
+
+ # ls /sys/bus/pci-epf/drivers
+ pci_epf_ntb pci_epf_test pci_epf_vntb
+
+If PCI_ENDPOINT_CONFIGFS is enabled::
+
+ # ls /sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/functions
+ pci_epf_ntb pci_epf_test pci_epf_vntb
+
+
+Creating pci-epf-vntb Device
+----------------------------
+
+PCI endpoint function device can be created using the configfs. To create
+pci-epf-vntb device, the following commands can be used::
+
+ # mount -t configfs none /sys/kernel/config
+ # cd /sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/
+ # mkdir functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1
+
+The "mkdir func1" above creates the pci-epf-ntb function device that will
+be probed by pci_epf_vntb driver.
+
+The PCI endpoint framework populates the directory with the following
+configurable fields::
+
+ # ls functions/pci_epf_ntb/func1
+ baseclass_code deviceid msi_interrupts pci-epf-ntb.0
+ progif_code secondary subsys_id vendorid
+ cache_line_size interrupt_pin msix_interrupts primary
+ revid subclass_code subsys_vendor_id
+
+The PCI endpoint function driver populates these entries with default values
+when the device is bound to the driver. The pci-epf-vntb driver populates
+vendorid with 0xffff and interrupt_pin with 0x0001::
+
+ # cat functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/vendorid
+ 0xffff
+ # cat functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/interrupt_pin
+ 0x0001
+
+
+Configuring pci-epf-vntb Device
+-------------------------------
+
+The user can configure the pci-epf-vntb device using its configfs entry. In order
+to change the vendorid and the deviceid, the following
+commands can be used::
+
+ # echo 0x1957 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/vendorid
+ # echo 0x0809 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/deviceid
+
+In order to configure NTB specific attributes, a new sub-directory to func1
+should be created::
+
+ # mkdir functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/
+
+The NTB function driver will populate this directory with various attributes
+that can be configured by the user::
+
+ # ls functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/
+ db_count mw1 mw2 mw3 mw4 num_mws
+ spad_count
+
+A sample configuration for NTB function is given below::
+
+ # echo 4 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/db_count
+ # echo 128 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/spad_count
+ # echo 1 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/num_mws
+ # echo 0x100000 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/mw1
+
+A sample configuration for virtual NTB driver for virutal PCI bus::
+
+ # echo 0x1957 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/vntb_vid
+ # echo 0x080A > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/vntb_pid
+ # echo 0x10 > functions/pci_epf_vntb/func1/pci_epf_vntb.0/vbus_number
+
+Binding pci-epf-ntb Device to EP Controller
+--------------------------------------------
+
+NTB function device should be attached to PCI endpoint controllers
+connected to the host.
+
+ # ln -s controllers/5f010000.pcie_ep functions/pci-epf-ntb/func1/primary
+
+Once the above step is completed, the PCI endpoint controllers are ready to
+establish a link with the host.
+
+
+Start the Link
+--------------
+
+In order for the endpoint device to establish a link with the host, the _start_
+field should be populated with '1'. For NTB, both the PCI endpoint controllers
+should establish link with the host (imx8 don't need this steps)::
+
+ # echo 1 > controllers/5f010000.pcie_ep/start

+
+Using ntb_hw_epf Device
+-----------------------
+
+The host side software follows the standard NTB software architecture in Linux.
+All the existing client side NTB utilities like NTB Transport Client and NTB
+Netdev, NTB Ping Pong Test Client and NTB Tool Test Client can be used with NTB
+function device.
