How to enable PRU Subsystem on MityDSP-L138F SOM ???

Added by Ngoc Thanh Pham over 10 years ago

Hi everyone!

I'm using MityDSP-L138F SOM + IO Industrial Board and now trying to work with PRU subsystem of OMAP-L138 processor.
I've found some instructions from:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/PRU_Linux_Application_Loader ()
and then rebuilt the kernel for SOM successfully (using MDK_2014-01-13 from Criticallink LLC )
However, after load the uImage (via tftp), boot up the board and load uio_pruss module, i can't run any PRU example from pru_sw project.
The error message are:

root@mityomapl138:~# ./PRU_gpioToggle

INFO: Starting PRU_gpioToggle example.
prussdrv_open open failed

I also try some command to verify uio_pruss driver, but my PRU module seem not configured correctly:

1 - I can't see ansy uio0 or uio1,... after "ls /dev" command.

2 - I was check in the file system, but i got a error message like this:

root@mityomapl138:~# cat /sys/class/uio/uio0/maps/map0/addr
cat: can't open '/sys/class/uio/uio0/maps/map0/addr': No such file or directory

Can anyone show me how to configure and run PRU example correctly?

Thanks in advance!

Regard,
Manh BT

Hi,

I think we need to add the following patches (from linus tree) to the kernel to instantiate the PRUSS drivers for the L138.

2eb2478d471e45e1d0c8bb3defbf82bf7204e13d uio: uio_pruss: replace private SRAM API with genalloc
8e0d72d2c7a6955692ba0a21bbf5ca86e8061777 ARM: davinci: da8xx: add DA850 PRUSS support
ae41d17a76338ed4cb2ab2c7db2b5de9f9524609 ARM: davinci: da850 evm: register uio_pruss device
cb3771b049b3b554455094a3b06d8ceb07086e06 uio: uio_pruss: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

We will need one additional patch similar to ae41d17a76338ed4cb2ab2c7db2b5de9f9524609 to register the device for the mitydsp-l138 board file.

I will try to get someone assigned to push the drivers in the MDK kernel. Sorry for the delay.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your information, but where can I get above patches? Is it in Critical Link MDK ?

Hello Manh BT,

The patches Mike described are in the mainline Linux kernel (http://kernel.org/). You can search for those commit hashes via Google to see the required changes.

We are in the process of applying and testing these patches in our L138 kernel baseline and once they are ready you will see them on our support site: http://support.criticallink.com/gitweb/?p=linux-davinci.git;a=summary

Thanks,

-Bob

Hi Ngoc,

I have been working on getting this to work. So far i've integrated the patches which i've posted to a test branch until we can confirm its working. Please checkout 'mitydsp-linux-v3.2_pruss_wip' branch. Currently it is creating the uio dev nodes but running some of the TI demos causes seg faults.

Heres my results so far:

Setting up examples, Note need the latest version of the svn repo. Revision 24 requested by the TI guide segfaults right away for the 3.2 kernel driver.

Running through all the examples, atleast one of them seems to have caused a system segfault as not even reboot was able to run afterwards.

Reran some of the commands to see which fail. The ./PRU_memAccessL3andDDR can cause system segfaults as it appears to use a fixed part of ddr during its test and if a program or linux happens to be residing there then it will be overrided/corrupted.

Ngoc,

Can you confirm that this is working for you and i'll move the changes into our main kernel branch?

I also created a wiki page to help future projects Using PRU

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your patches, it's working for me!
I have applied and successfully rebuilt my kernel.
And almost PRU example from TI can run on my board.

Thanks you very much! ^^
