Hi All,

I am leaning how the SDMA working on iMX6q CPU, but there are only few audio codec and uart examples in driver. i am wondering is there some simple example to show how the i.MX6q SDMA working theory?

i found mxc_sdma_memcopy_test.c in the  imx-test-3.0.35-4.0.0.tar.gz, but it is not working, always shows kernel NULL pointer error just like following shows

-------------

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000010

pgd = b874c000

The examples and information that you found in the community link are the only available at the moment but I can recommend if you have an NDA within FSL please contact us, using the Service Request so we can provide more specific details of the SDMA
