How accessing to my IP registers from Linux

From: Ludovic Desroches <hidden>

Hi,



I have put xilinx kernel on my board : a memec FX12 based on a Virtex 4 FX.
Everything thing is OK, I have my serial console, Ethernet is also OK.

I have to make some drivers. For example one for the LCD screen. It is my
first driver so I want to try with something easier like LEDs. I know there
is a driver from Xilinx but I want to do it by myself. Moreover it is only a
file to adapt Xilinx standelone driver for Kernel.



I try to read and to write the registers of my GPIO IP which is working, I
have made some tests in standelone. How accessing to these registers ?

I have tried with this for example but without success :

ptr = ioremap_nocache(0x70001e00,0x00000004);
printk("GPIO_DATA (readl): %u\n",readl(ptr));



readl, outl, ioread32 : same result.



Thanks



Best Regards

Hi,

 I have recently developed a similar driver for that. Your IO memory 
remapping should look like similar to this in your module_init:

-------

    if ( (lcd_remap_address = (u32) ioremap(LCD_BASE, LCD_END - LCD_BASE 
+1 )) == 0) {
        printk(KERN_ERR "Couldn't ioremap memory at 0x%08lX\n",
               (unsigned long) LCD_BASE);
        return -EFAULT;       
    }
   
    // Configure the IO as outputs
    XIo_Out32(lcd_remap_address  + 0x4,0x00);          

------- 

 /A

Thanks for your answer, unfortunately it doesn't work. I'm doing this :

static unsigned int *virtual_base = 0;
static unsigned long mem_addr = 0x70001e00;
static unsigned long mem_size = 0x100;
static unsigned int reg3 = 0;

static int __init gpio_init(void) {

    printk("<1>gpio: init_module\n");
    if(check_mem_region(mem_addr,mem_size))
    {
        printk("gpio: memory already in use\n");
        return -EBUSY;
    }
    // request memory for the device
    request_mem_region(mem_addr,mem_size,"gpio");
    // remap
    virtual_base = ioremap_nocache(mem_addr,mem_size);
    printk("ioremap: Virtual Address %08x\n",(unsigned int)virtual_base);
    printk("Physical Address %08x\n",(unsigned
int)virt_to_phys(virtual_base));
    if( virtual_base==0 )
    {
        printk("ioremap failed\n");
        return -EBUSY ;
    }
    else
    {
        reg3 = XIo_Out32(virtual_base);
        printk("Result of GPIO_DATA = %08x\n",reg3) ;
        reg3 = XIo_Out32(virtual_base+4);
        printk("Result of GPIO_TRI = %08x\n",reg3) ;

        printk("Xio_Out32\n");
        XIo_Out32(virtual_base, 0x00);
    }
    return 0;
}

the result is :

gpio: init_module
ioremap: Virtual Address c500ee00
Physical Address 0500ee00
Xio_Out32

The LEDs stay ON. I find strange having physical address different from the
physical adress I wanted to map. Can I have a problem with my MMU ? As other
devices are working, I am not sure it's the MMU for exemple during boot :
eth0: Xilinx 10/100 EMAC at 0x80400000 mapped to 0xC5020000, irq=1 and
Ethernet is working so the MMU seems to be ok.


Thanks
