Re: Issues with i.MX SPI DMA transfers

Dear Robin,

now I have reverted patch ad0d92d7ba6a.
Patches 0001-dma-engine-imx-sdma-add-mcu_2_ecspi-script.patch and
0002-spi-spi-imx-fix-ERR009165.patch are applied.


Kernel log show messages

[ÂÂ 29.202639] imx-sdma 20ec000.sdma: loaded firmware 3.3

[ÂÂ 29.245217] spi_imx 2018000.spi: probed

SPI DMA transfers still not work.

If I test 32 byte transfers, then they work fine. But 64 byte transfers
fails always and I see error messages

root@cr7:~# spidev_test -D /dev/spidev4.1 -s 1200000 -b 8 -S 64 -I 1 -l
spi mode: 0x20
bits per word: 8
max speed: 1200000 Hz (1200 KHz)
[Â 423.686736] spi_master spi4: I/O Error in DMA RX

[Â 423.696382] spi_master spi4: failed to transfer one message from queue

Aborted (core dumped)

I suppose, transfers shorter then 64 bytes made with help of PIO.

Robin, is there any chance for you to find some time and look at this
issue again?
I have quick test with spidev_test loopback, but didn't meet your error,
Is your code the almost latest code in linux-next as mine?

My previous test results based on kernel from "main" branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git.

Now I have tested kernel from "main" branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git.

Its latest commit is 05d08e2995cbe6efdb993482ee0d38a77040861a.

Additionally, I have reverted patch ad0d92d7ba6a and apply yours patches 0001-dma-engine-imx-sdma-add-mcu_2_ecspi-script.patch and 0002-spi-spi-imx-fix-ERR009165.patch.

Difference between 05d08e2995cbe6efdb993482ee0d38a77040861a and current state of drivers attached as spi-and-sdma-drivers.diff.

SPI driver still not work. It has same result as from my previous email.

Looks as you use either different GIT branch of kernel or you have forget to say me about some patch.

Best wishes.
