* Package name : rshim-user-space Version : 2.0.7 Upstream Contact: Mellanox Technologies <supp...@mellanox.com> * URL : https://github.com/Mellanox/rshim-user-space * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : Userspace (fuse) host driver for Mellanox BlueField devices This is a userspace driver that provides host access to BlueField PCIe devices. It can be used to push boot streams (usually to flash a new OS image), access a virtual console, provide a virtual network interface connecting the BlueField device and its host, and a debug interface. I work with BlueField PCIe devices as part of my day job. These devices run a full Linux distribution, and this driver is required to manage them from the host OS. I plan to maintain it as part of a small (1-3) person team, where I will likely be the only member who is a DD. We plan to use salsa for hosting.
