ipu_cm_read() hangs system

[robertspriggs]

We have a custom linux load on a Sabre-based i.MX6 board. We are trying to get video out of the DISP pads and are using the MXC IPUv3 driver. After Linux loads I can not read 0x260_0000 (IPU_CONF) or other registers in that area without the system freezing. I have tried both using devmem from the command line and reading directly from the driver (ipu_common.c in probe()) with the same results.

Our system is built from a custom build tree based on buildroot, and is NOT Android.

Hi Robert

could you try with memtool from imx-test package

with nxp linux bsp from

Thanks Igor,

However, I found some documentation on device tree configuration of IPU here and tried setting bypass_reset = <1>; Now I can read the registers! Any idea why this would happen?

I tried removing all IPU and video related drivers from Linux and I still have the same problem with devmem 0x2600000 freezing.
