Fail to read Altera FPGA by i.MX6 through PCIe

Hello,

 

I tried to build loopback system with i.MX6 as RC and Altera FPGA as EP.

I write data from software on Linux, then FPGA will back same data to software .

 

I made test program using user space I/O before making kernel driver at first.

This program was able to write data to FPGA. But I got following error at read data from FPGA.

 

------

Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1018) at

Bus error

------

 

I am using yocto its kernel version 3.14.52-1.1.1_ga+gdb1bcba.

I set 0x01100000-0x011FFFFFF as BAR0 at FPGA.

0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000

 

A part of my source codes are following,

 

/*######

 

    int barfd;

    void *addrbar0;

 

    barfd = open("/sys/class/uio/uio0/device/resource0", O_RDWR);

    addrbar0 = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, barfd, 0);

    close(barfd);

/* Write to FPGA */

*(unsigned int*)(addrbar0 + cnt) = src_data[cnt];

 

    /* Read from FPGA */

dst_data[cnt] = *(unsigned int*)(addrbar0 + cnt);

 

######*/

 

open function and mmap function was no error occurred.

When I perform writing to FPGA, then it succeeded. But when I perform reading from FPGA, then I got “Bus Error“.

 

What should I do?

 

 

Best Regards,

Hello,

 Is it possible to check if data, written to the FPGA, really were accepted? 


Have a great day,
Yuri

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I checked FPGA about write back. I found that FPGA write back address was invalid.

And when I read PCI BAR0 address, then CPU make unnecessary read command to PCIe. Error might be occurred because FPGA was not acceptable.
