The Host firmware interface (HFI) is a well defined set of interfaces for the communication between the host driver and the firmware. The commands and responses are exchanged in form of packets. One or multiple packets are grouped under the packet header. Each packet has a packet type which describes the specific HFI and the payload, which holds the corresponding value for that HFI.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
