However when I attempt to access FPGA memory my mmapping it in userspace the read hangs. The same happens in kernel space. Does it happen because FPGA memory is marked as disabled, or because FPGA code is doing something wrong ?Can you access the device in u-boot? That would possible tell you if the HW is functioning or not.quoted
Another question is what can cause PCI device memory be marked as disabled.Good question, no idea how lspci decided to print [disabled]. Take a look at lspci source and see :)
Maybe the memory enable in the PCI command register isn't set ? If you don't have a kernel driver that sets it (by calling pci_enable_device) and u-boot doesn't set it then it's going to be off and you'll get hangs or machine checks trying to access the device... Just an idea... Cheers, Ben.
