Kernel Panic in GPU driver on i.mx 53 (Internal error Oops: 817 )

[alexeinomazov]

Hello,

I experience kernel panic when executing simple Qt application with gif animation or images presentation.

From kernel logs it seems to be known situation within GPU driver code specific location:

"kernel BUG at drivers/mxc/amd-gpu/platform/hal/linux/misc.c:66! "

Platform:

i.mx 53 board with linux kernel 2.6.35.

Yocto layer with Qt 5.4.1 over Linux X11.

Kernel Log:

kernel BUG at drivers/mxc/amd-gpu/platform/hal/linux/misc.c:66!

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

pgd = 80004000

Questions:

1). Which scenarios related to the known issue "kernel BUG at drivers/mxc/amd-gpu/platform/hal/linux/misc.c:66! " ?

2). Which scenario could be related to my application (Qt based gif / image presentation) ?

3). How can i potentially avoid it ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Alexei.
