+Overview
+========
+
+AMD NPU (Neural Processing Unit) is a multi-user AI inference accelerator
+integrated into AMD client APU. NPU enables efficient execution of Machine
+Learning applications like CNN, LLM, etc. NPU is based on
+`AMD XDNA Architecture`_. NPU is managed by **amdxdna** driver.
+
+
+Hardware Description
+====================
+
+AMD NPU consists of the following hardware components:
+
+AMD XDNA Array
+--------------
+
+AMD XDNA Array comprises of 2D array of compute and memory tiles built with
+`AMD AI Engine Technology`_. Each column has 4 rows of compute tiles and 1
+row of memory tile. Each compute tile contains a VLIW processor with its own
+dedicated program and data memory. The memory tile acts as L2 memory. The 2D
+array can be partitioned at a column boundary creating a spatially isolated
+partition which can be bound to a workload context.
+
+Each column also has dedicated DMA engines to move data between host DDR and
+memory tile.
+
+AMD Phoenix and AMD Hawk Point client NPU have a 4x5 topology, i.e., 4 rows of
+compute tiles arranged into 5 columns. AMD Strix Point client APU have 4x8
+topology, i.e., 4 rows of compute tiles arranged into 8 columns.
+
+Shared L2 Memory
+................
+
+The single row of memory tiles create a pool of software managed on chip L2
+memory. DMA engines are used to move data between host DDR and memory tiles.
+AMD Phoenix and AMD Hawk Point NPUs have a total of 2560 KB of L2 memory.
+AMD Strix Point NPU has a total of 4096 KB of L2 memory.
+
+Microcontroller
+---------------
+
+A microcontroller runs NPU Firmware which is responsible for command processing,
+XDNA Array partition setup, XDNA Array configuration, workload context
+management and workload orchestration.
+
+NPU Firmware uses a dedicated instance of an isolated non-privileged context
+called ERT to service each workload context. ERT is also used to execute user
+provided ``ctrlcode`` associated with the workload context.
+
+NPU Firmware uses a single isolated privileged context called MERT to service
+management commands from the amdxdna driver.
+
+Mailboxes
+.........
+
+The microcontroller and amdxdna driver use a privileged channel for management
+tasks like setting up of contexts, telemetry, query, error handling, setting up
+user channel, etc. As mentioned before, privileged channel requests are
+serviced by MERT. The privileged channel is bound to a single mailbox.
+
+The microcontroller and amdxdna driver use a dedicated user channel per
+workload context. The user channel is primarily used for submitting work to
+the NPU. As mentioned before, a user channel requests are serviced by an
+instance of ERT. Each user channel is bound to its own dedicated mailbox.
+
+PCIe EP
+-------
+
+NPU is visible to the x86 as a PCIe device with multiple BARs and some MSI-X
+interrupt vectors. NPU uses a dedicated high bandwidth SoC level fabric for
+reading or writing into host memory. Each instance of ERT gets its own dedicated
+MSI-X interrupt. MERT gets a single instance of MSI-X interrupt.
+
+The number of PCIe BARs varies depending on the specific device. Based on their
+functions, PCIe BARs can generally be categorized into the following types.
+
+* PSP BAR: Expose the AMD PSP (Platform Security Processor) function
+* SMU BAR: Expose the AMD SMU (System Management Unit) function
+* SRAM BAR: Expose ring buffers for the mailbox
+* Mailbox BAR: Expose the mailbox control registers (head, tail and ISR
+  registers etc.)
+* Public Register BAR: Expose public registers
+
+On specific devices, the above-mentioned BAR type might be combined into a
+single physical PCIe BAR. Or a module might require two physical PCIe BARs to
+be fully functional. For example,
+
+* On AMD Phoenix device, PSP, SMU, Public Register BARs are on PCIe BAR index 0.
+* On AMD Strix Point device, Mailbox and Public Register BARs are on PCIe BAR
+  index 0. The PSP has some registers in PCIe BAR index 0 (Public Register BAR)
+  and PCIe BAR index 4 (PSP BAR).
+
+Process Isolation Hardware
+--------------------------
+
+As explained before, XDNA Array can be dynamically divided into isolated
+spatial partitions, each of which may have one or more columns. The spatial
+partition is setup by programming the column isolation registers by the
+microcontroller. Each spatial partition is associated with a PASID which is
+also programmed by the microcontroller. Hence multiple spatial partitions in
+the NPU can make concurrent host access protected by PASID.
+
+The NPU FW itself uses microcontroller MMU enforced isolated contexts for
+servicing user and privileged channel requests.
+
+
+Mixed Spatial and Temporal Scheduling
+=====================================
+
+AMD XDNA architecture supports mixed spatial and temporal (time sharing)
+scheduling of 2D array. This means that spatial partitions may be setup and
+torn down dynamically to accommodate various workloads. A *spatial* partition
+may be *exclusively* bound to one workload context while another partition may
+be *temporarily* bound to more than one workload contexts. The microcontroller
+updates the PASID for a temporarily shared partition to match the context that
+has been bound to the partition at any moment.
+
+Resource Solver
+---------------
+
+The Resource Solver component of the amdxdna driver manages the allocation
+of 2D array among various workloads. Every workload describes the number
+of columns required to run the NPU binary in its metadata. The Resource Solver
+component uses hints passed by the workload and its own heuristics to
+decide 2D array (re)partition strategy and mapping of workloads for spatial and
+temporal sharing of columns. The FW enforces the context-to-column(s) resource
+binding decisions made by the Resource Solver.
+
+AMD Phoenix and AMD Hawk Point client NPU can support 6 concurrent workload
+contexts. AMD Strix Point can support 16 concurrent workload contexts.
+
+
+Application Binaries
+====================
+
+A NPU application workload is comprised of two separate binaries which are
+generated by the NPU compiler.
+
+1. AMD XDNA Array overlay, which is used to configure a NPU spatial partition.
+   The overlay contains instructions for setting up the stream switch
+   configuration and ELF for the compute tiles. The overlay is loaded on the
+   spatial partition bound to the workload by the associated ERT instance.
+   Refer to the
+   `Versal Adaptive SoC AIE-ML Architecture Manual (AM020)`_ for more details.
+
+2. ``ctrlcode``, used for orchestrating the overlay loaded on the spatial
+   partition. ``ctrlcode`` is executed by the ERT running in protected mode on
+   the microcontroller in the context of the workload. ``ctrlcode`` is made up
+   of a sequence of opcodes named ``XAie_TxnOpcode``. Refer to the
+   `AI Engine Run Time`_ for more details.
+
+
+Special Host Buffers
+====================
+
+Per-context Instruction Buffer
+------------------------------
+
+Every workload context uses a host resident 64 MB buffer which is memory
+mapped into the ERT instance created to service the workload. The ``ctrlcode``
+used by the workload is copied into this special memory. This buffer is
+protected by PASID like all other input/output buffers used by that workload.
+Instruction buffer is also mapped into the user space of the workload.
+
+Global Privileged Buffer
+------------------------
+
+In addition, the driver also allocates a single buffer for maintenance tasks
+like recording errors from MERT. This global buffer uses the global IOMMU
+domain and is only accessible by MERT.
+
+
+High-level Use Flow
+===================
+
+Here are the steps to run a workload on AMD NPU:
+
+1.  Compile the workload into an overlay and a ``ctrlcode`` binary.
+2.  Userspace opens a context in the driver and provides the overlay.
+3.  The driver checks with the Resource Solver for provisioning a set of columns
+    for the workload.
+4.  The driver then asks MERT to create a context on the device with the desired
+    columns.
+5.  MERT then creates an instance of ERT. MERT also maps the Instruction Buffer
+    into ERT memory.
+6.  The userspace then copies the ``ctrlcode`` to the Instruction Buffer.
+7.  Userspace then creates a command buffer with pointers to input, output, and
+    instruction buffer; it then submits command buffer with the driver and goes
+    to sleep waiting for completion.
+8.  The driver sends the command over the Mailbox to ERT.
+9.  ERT *executes* the ``ctrlcode`` in the instruction buffer.
+10. Execution of the ``ctrlcode`` kicks off DMAs to and from the host DDR while
+    AMD XDNA Array is running.
+11. When ERT reaches end of ``ctrlcode``, it raises an MSI-X to send completion
+    signal to the driver which then wakes up the waiting workload.
+
+
+Boot Flow
+=========
+
+amdxdna driver uses PSP to securely load signed NPU FW and kick off the boot
+of the NPU microcontroller. amdxdna driver then waits for the alive signal in
+a special location on BAR 0. The NPU is switched off during SoC suspend and
+turned on after resume where the NPU FW is reloaded, and the handshake is
+performed again.
+
+
+Userspace components
+====================
+
+Compiler
+--------
+
+Peano is an LLVM based open-source compiler for AMD XDNA Array compute tile
+available at:
+https://github.com/Xilinx/llvm-aie
+
+The open-source IREE compiler supports graph compilation of ML models for AMD
+NPU and uses Peano underneath. It is available at:
+https://github.com/nod-ai/iree-amd-aie
+
+Usermode Driver (UMD)
+---------------------
+
+The open-source XRT runtime stack interfaces with amdxdna kernel driver. XRT
+can be found at:
+https://github.com/Xilinx/XRT
+
+The open-source XRT shim for NPU is can be found at:
+https://github.com/amd/xdna-driver
+
+
+DMA Operation
+=============
+
+DMA operation instructions are encoded in the ``ctrlcode`` as
+``XAIE_IO_BLOCKWRITE`` opcode. When ERT executes ``XAIE_IO_BLOCKWRITE``, DMA
+operations between host DDR and L2 memory are effected.
+
+
+Error Handling
+==============
+
+When MERT detects an error in AMD XDNA Array, it pauses execution for that
+workload context and sends an asynchronous message to the driver over the
+privileged channel. The driver then sends a buffer pointer to MERT to capture
+the register states for the partition bound to faulting workload context. The
+driver then decodes the error by reading the contents of the buffer pointer.
+
+
+Telemetry
+=========
+
+MERT can report various kinds of telemetry information like the following:
+
+* L1 interrupt counter
+* DMA counter
+* Deep Sleep counter
+* etc.
