Libmetal is an AMD developed open source software stack that provides common user APIs to access devices, handle device interrupts, and request memory across the following operating environments:

  • Linux user space (based on Userspace IO and Virtual Function IO support in the kernel)
  • RTOS (with and without virtual memory)
  • Bare-metal environments

The libmetal I/O region abstraction provides access to memory mapped I/O and shared memory regions. This includes primitives to read and write memory with ordering constraints and the ability to translate between physical and virtual addressing on systems that support virtual memory.
