How enable cache on PCIe in i.MX6?

massohy — Sun, 02 Sep 2018 10:36:42 GMT

Dear All,

I am using i.MX6 as PCIe RC. I will write data via PCIe to EP device by ARM CPU.

I want to write with as much as possible large TLP packet by ARM CPU in i.MX6, but I can only 8 byte with memcpy() in yocto linux.

I referred the community, I found that i.MX6 can write by 32 byte unit at PCIe cached.

I referred to patch code attached to https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-95014.

I thought it will be ok that I modify pci-imx6.c , but this patch had many different from my driver. And, I thought many codes of modification of its patch was for EP side.

Please tell me, how can I enable cache on PCIe? If cache is enable, then can I write over 8 bytes unit TLP packet from ARM CPU in RC side i.MX6?

And, if I use PCIe with cached, is that system able to use stable?

Best Regards,

Hi mas

below link provides solution for improving pcie performance using arm core (with cache enabled) or ipu

dma as masters for RC side. I am afraid there are no other ways to improve it.
