Re: Howto use PPC4xx memory to memory DMA

Ooh - and the 3d thing - cache coherence. I.e.:

Here are a few things to check:

Thanks a lot for your tips. First I called
a) __get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA, get_order(size));
for the source and destination address.
Then before calling ppc4xx_enable_dma I added
b) ppc4xx_set_src_addr(DMA_NR, virt_to_bus(src));
c) ppc4xx_set_src_addr(DMA_NR, virt_to_bus(dst));
d) flush_dcache_all(); 
With these changes I got at least one byte copied. After fixing the 
ppc4xx_enable_dma everything worked fine. (Patch posted a few minutes ago.)

Did you manage to use DMA on PLB peripheral bus on a memory mapped dev? I 
think there one should also increment the source or destination address. But 
I have no example HW/code at hand to test these two cases too.
