i.mx6 DMA question!

rclongyunteng — Fri, 27 Jul 2018 01:50:26 GMT

dear programmer:

I bought a i.MX6Q board, Android version:4.4.2, Kernel version:3.0.35.

Now, i test the DMA function and i found a question.

After i finish the DMA init, i start DMA transfer. But i found the function(static void imxdma_issue_pending(struct dma_chan *chan)) is not be finished. It is a null function!

How can i do it?

Thank you.

Hi yunteng

please check Chapter 3 Smart Direct Memory Access (SDMA) API

attached Linux Manual. Also may be useful to read

Chapter 29 Configuring the SDMA Driver iMX6_Firmware_Guide.pdf

included in baremetal sdk, which may be found on SMP Enable in IMX6

Best regards
igor

Hi igor,

Thank you for your reply.

I think i configured the SDMA driver correctly.

I want to make my SDMA work as external memory to internal memory. But i can not found it via the source codes except DMA_DEV_TO_MEM and DMA_MEM_TO_DEV.

Then i read its datasheet, i found that it may be work through reusing Transfer Between Peripheral and External Memory.

And it should be programmed in increamented mode.

So i programed to set PSA register value 11000110 at address (0x0800 + 32 * channel + offset), to work at increamented mode. At the

same time, i set direction = DMA_DEV_TO_MEM.

But it does not work after i programmed like that.

Would you give me some suggestions please? Thank you very much.

Best Regards

for memory to memory one can look at mxc_sdma_memcopy_test.c example

Index of /buildsources/i/imx-test/imx-test-3.0.35-4.0.0

Hi igor,

Thank you for your reply very much.

I have test mxc_sdma_memcopy_test.c example. It is useful for transfer between internal memory and internal memory.

But I want it work as copy data from EIM to Memory. I think the mode is the same sa transfer between external memory and

internal memory.

I have mapped eim address like below:
s_armaddr = ioremap_nocache(WEIM_ARB_BASE_ADDR, SDMA_BUF_SIZE );

And then i set the source buf like below:

sg_set_buf(&sg[0], s_armaddr + 0x16, SDMA_BUF_SIZE );

But the data i read form eim is not what i want.

Any other suggestions please? Thank you very much.

Best Regards

Hi，yunteng long：

I am also working on the DMA driver. I am carrying the SSI data into the memory. Can you refer to your code?

There is no idea now.
thank you very much!

Hi, H SL:

I have deleted the SSI case in audio code.
