galcore.ko hangs while loading on 3.14.30 linux

vikaspatil — Fri, 28 Aug 2015 09:08:12 GMT

Dear Members,

I am working on to bring up 3.14.30 linux kernel on custom i.MX6 solo based platform. I have added all the required code from 3.14.28 (i.e. 3.14.28_1.0.0_ga release) to

3.14.30 and with this kernel hangs while booting just after loading the "galcore" vivante graphics driver. I tried making "galcore.ko" as a module and it also hangs while

loading. Just for information my LCD and HDMI display are working fine (tested with fb application).

I have also tested platform with (3.14.28_1.0.0_ga release + our custom changes) and gpu works fine there.

Could someone give some pointers what might be going wrong here? or Has anyone faced similar issues on some other kernel?

Waiting for your suggestion/comments/ideas to fix this.

Please check which device tree you are using? ldo by pass or ldo enable.

Hi Biyong Sun,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I am also thinking there is some issue with the configuration as it looks GPU not powering up and galcore is stuck in _ResetGPU() function.

I have following entries in our custom dts and dtsi and it works with 3.14.28 kernel. How to check if I am using ldo by pass or ldo enable?

gpu@00130000 {

compatible = "fsl,imx6dl-gpu", "fsl,imx6q-gpu";

reg = <0x00130000 0x4000>, <0x00134000 0x4000>,

<0x0 0x0>;

reg-names = "iobase_3d", "iobase_2d",

"phys_baseaddr";

interrupts = <0 9 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,

<0 10 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;

interrupt-names = "irq_3d", "irq_2d";

clocks = <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_OPENVG_AXI>, <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_GPU3D_AXI>,

<&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_GPU2D_CORE>, <&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_GPU3D_CORE>,

<&clks IMX6QDL_CLK_DUMMY>;

clock-names = "gpu2d_axi_clk", "gpu3d_axi_clk",

"gpu2d_clk", "gpu3d_clk",

"gpu3d_shader_clk";

resets = <&src 0>, <&src 3>;

reset-names = "gpu3d", "gpu2d";

power-domains = <&gpc 1>;

};

gpc: gpc@020dc000 {

compatible = "fsl,imx6q-gpc";

reg = <0x020dc000 0x4000>;

interrupts = <0 89 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,

<0 90 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;

pu-supply = <&reg_pu>;

If you have read i.MX_Linux_Release_Notes.pdf, you will find

For example:

ldo bypass: imx6q-sabresd.dts

ldo enable :imx6q-sabresd-ldo.dts

This dts ldo bypass needs uboot to support.

cpu.c

void arch_preboot_os(void)

{

#if defined(CONFIG_LDO_BYPASS_CHECK)

ldo_mode_set(check_ldo_bypass());

#endif

#if defined(CONFIG_VIDEO_IPUV3)

/* disable video before launching O/S */

ipuv3_fb_shutdown();

#endif

#ifdef CONFIG_VIDEO_GIS

/* Entry for GIS */

mxc_disable_gis();

#endif

#ifdef CONFIG_VIDEO_MXS

lcdif_power_down();

#endif

}

Hi vikash,

Make sure galcore matches the kernel you compile. Check the file / drivers/mxc/gpu-viv/hal/kernel/inc/gc_hal_version.h

Regards

Hi,

drivers/mxc/gpu-viv/hal/kernel/inc/gc_hal_version.h looks like. I am also compiling galcore withing new kernel. What do you mean by galcore should match the kernel?

#ifndef __gc_hal_version_h_

#define __gc_hal_version_h_

#define gcvVERSION_MAJOR 5

#define gcvVERSION_MINOR 0

#define gcvVERSION_PATCH 11

#define gcvVERSION_BUILD 25762

#define gcvVERSION_STRING "5.0.11.p4.25762"

#define gcvVERSION_DATE __DATE__

#define gcvVERSION_TIME __TIME__

#endif /* __gc_hal_version_h_ */

Regards,

Vikash

Hi vikash,

The gc_hal_version should math the major kernel version that you are using in this case is correct for 3.14 as statement in the release note.

If in any case you tried to load the gpu driver with modprobe vivante or modprobe galcore and still received a kernel crash, I suggest to check your dtb setting for the GPU clock instead.

Hope this helps
