about imx6d memory DMA test

[sandyzhao]

1.I reserve 20MB memory using  linux kernel cmdline "mem=800".

2.I want use sdma to copy the first 10MB to second 10Mb position ,and then to get the used time

3.I use imx-test-3.0.0\module_test\mxc_sdma_mem_test.c,but cant compile it

work_sandy_host/nfs_host/test_memory_dma/test_module/mxc_sdma_mem_test.c : In function 'mxc_printSDMAcontext':

4.can you give me some advice?

[jimmychan]

are you using the LTIB command to compile it?

1. ./ltib -m prep -p imx-test  (the source code will be extracted in ltib/rpm/BUILD/)

2. ./ltib -m scbuild -p imx-test  (build the source code again when you modified it)

3. ./ltib -m scdeploy -p imx-test  (install the package to rootfs)

Hello chan,

    I downloaded the L3.0.35_4.1.0_130816_source, and I found the mxc_sdma_mem_test.c. However, I can't find any defination like mxc_sdma_xxx in the kernel(linux3.0)? Would the ltib build make any sense.

Please read the Chapter 3 in i.MX_6Dual6Quad_Linux_Reference_Manual.pdf for the SDMA API in details.

I had read this chapter. I found that the mxc_sdma_memcopy_test.c  is tested ok. However, when i used the return value of dma_alloc_coherent, the dma_m2m_callback() are not executed.  I want to find a example that can get data from eim memory to internal memory using DMA. Could you give me some advise?

You may take the test code in SDK for reference. You can download the i.MX 6Series Platform SDK  from here:

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=IMX6_SW

there is mem_2_mem test under sdma/test/.
