translation table for ARM A9 in 4.6 kernel

[mihaitaivascu]

Hello,

   I would have a more general question about translation table entries in linux kernel.

   I have experience with FreeRTOS where I can manipulate memory attributes by modifying translation_table.S file.

   I was not able to find something similar in Linux.

   So my question is does somebody know where to find/add translation table entries in Linux kernel for ARM architectures?

Thanks,

      Mihaita

Hello Mihaita,

I would recommend looking at Linux and ARM documentation as it’s not as straightforward as on smaller operating systems.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/gorman/html/understand/understand006.html

https://developer.arm.com/architectures/cpu-architecture/a-profile/docs?_ga=2.111277068.905434206.15...

 (As a side note, I would recommend using one of the kernels from the i.MX BSP Releases as they have been tested on i.MX boards.)

Regards,
