[PATCH v3 0/6] hw/gpio/aspeed_sgpio: Add Aspeed Serial GPIO (SGPIO) controller model
Posted by Yubin Zou 2 days, 16 hours ago
This series introduces a model for the Aspeed Serial GPIO (SGPIO) controller,
commonly found on Aspeed SoCs such as the AST2700. The SGPIO peripheral
provides a large number of GPIO pins that can be controlled and monitored
serially.

Improvement to QEMU:
These patches enhance QEMU's hardware emulation capabilities for platforms
using Aspeed SoCs, particularly for BMC simulations. By modeling the SGPIO
controller, QEMU can more accurately represent the hardware, allowing for
better development and testing of firmware and software that relies on these
GPIOs for various functions like sensor monitoring, presence detect, and
system control signals.

Impact (Before/After):

Before:
QEMU lacked a model for the Aspeed SGPIO controller. Any guest software
attempting to interact with the SGPIO register space would find no device.
Firmware features depending on SGPIO pin states or interrupts could not be
tested in QEMU.

After:
QEMU emulates the Aspeed SGPIO controller on supported machines (e.g.,
ast2700-evb).
- Guest firmware can configure SGPIO pins, set output values, and read input
  values through the memory-mapped registers.
- External entities (like test scripts or other QEMU components) can interact
  with the pins via QOM properties (e.g., to simulate external signal changes).
  Path example: /machine/soc/sgpio[0]/sgpio0
- The model generates interrupts based on input pin transitions, according to
  the configured mode (level/edge), enabling testing of interrupt handlers.

Changes in v3:
- Fix commit message typo and address several review feedback in
  commit 2/6.
- Switch to use g_autofree and drop g_free.
- Use "%03d" instead of "%d".
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20251209-aspeed-sgpio-v2-0-976e5f5790c2@google.com

Changes in v2:
Split the v1 into smaller commits and reorder it for better review:
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20251106-aspeed-sgpio-v1-0-b026093716fa@google.com

Hi Yubin,

In my local testing, your code changes work well.
Please also review my comments in the other emails.

Thank you for your help in adding the SGPIO module.

Best Regards,
Kane
