Hi,
I'm trying to load a simple image to the SC3900 from the PA. The example in the SDK document is also setting up IPC, and we just want to do the basics to get started.
Anyone had any success with this and give me any pointers?
OK
The DSP boot loader is not really meant to be used this way, however, if the intent is a no SDOS bareboard application (why?) then procderually you can load your DSP binary image in the same way with the PA side application, but in your DSP code, you will need to write a value of 0xfe to hardware semaphore 0 so that the PA side application sees the DSP code is executing as expected. This is done with our IPC code on the DSP side, but can certainly be replicated manually outside of the SDOS drivers.... I'd say have a look at the SDOS source for reference on how to/where/addressing.
BR,
Michelle
Thank you for your response.
My apologises I was mistaken and it is an SDOS application that simply blinks the available LEDs on the B4860QDS.
Trying to follow the instructions from the SDK document for dsp_bt
In Uboot - Appended to bootargs: default_hugepagesz=256m hugepagesz=256m hugepages=1
The next command (setenv bootm_size 0x100000000) seems to cause the B4860 to crash when doing the insmod on hetmgr
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000074904
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
So instead I am using the alternate suggestion of setenv bootm_size 0x70000000
I'm then adding the kernel modules,
insmod /usr/driver/IPC/single_rat/hetmgr.ko
insmod /usr/driver/IPC/single_rat/shm.ko
insmod /usr/driver/IPC/single_rat/l1d.ko
cat /proc/devices | grep 'het_mgr'
cat /proc/devices | grep 'shm'
cat /proc/devices | grep 'l1d'
mknod /dev/fsl_shm c 248 0
mknod /dev/het_mgr c 249 0
mknod /dev/fsl_l1d c 247 0
and setting shmmax as well
echo 10000000 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
Then using SSH, I copy over the application to the B4860, and run it with
cd /ipc
./dsp_bt -h 0 -c 0 -i ~/c0_led_test.bin
and I just get the following:
===B4860QDS DSP boot Application (3.1.0) ===
SYSTEM MAP
DSP PrivArea: Addr=80000000 Size=7ff00000
Shared CtrlArea: Addr=fff00000 Size=100000

DSP CCSRBAR: Addr =ffe000000 Size=1000000
shmget: Invalid argument
error in init_hugetlb frm pre_load_B4
I've tried passsing alternate addresses to hetmgr with insmod
insmod /usr/driver/IPC/single_rat/hetmgr.ko dsp_private_addr=0x20000000 dsp_private_size=0x4FF00000 shared_ctrl_addr=0x6FF00000
but it appears that these are ignored, and I always get the same address ranges printed above.
I've tried running different images, including those in the /ipc folder, and get the same error each time.
Any help would be appreicated

Hi
OK I don't have time to go and do this on my board at the moment (its Linux is a bit lost), but from my notes on this:
Usage
$dsp_bt <PA_SC_Handshake_SEM> <core> <filename> <rel_addr(in decimal)> ...
examples:
DSP boot without PA SC handshake
./dsp_bt 0 0 sc0.bin 2147639296 1 sc1.bin 2147639296 2 sc2.bin 2147639296
3 sc3.bin 2147639296 4 sc4.bin 2147639296 5 sc5.bin 2147639296
DSP boot with PA SC handshake using HW semaphore 1
./dsp_bt 1 0 sc0.bin 2147622912 1 sc1.bin 2147622912 2 sc2.bin 2147622912
3 sc3.bin 2147622912 4 sc4.bin 2147622912 5 sc5.bin 2147622912
Maybe some definitions for what you are doing first:
Allow for more huge pages, make sure you have enough memory :smileyhappy: Worst case, debug the dsp_bt app? You have the source for all of it :smileyhappy:, it looks like it cannot allocate the memory required.
