OpenCL BSP HPS: Are updated OpenCL Drivers / libs for newer Linux kernels available ?
I am using OpenCL HPS BSP Packages with the arria10. ( Linux on HPS )
since Linux kernel upgrade the way Linux works with the FPGA changed. I fiddled around about 2 weeks now with the OpenCL Packages.
In the newer kernels ( time of writing i worked with 4.1.168 ) there is no more /sys/class/fpga-bridge it works differently.
see : https://forum.rocketboards.org/t/missing-dev-fpga0-device-on-de0-nano-soc/526
I looked into the driver structure ( aclsoc_drv ) and also in the subsequent files.
I get several kernel panics when using the existing drivers and structures i got with the BSP Packages.
In the file acl_mmd_config.c for example:
// Disable communication bridges between ARM and FPGA
void ACL_MMD_CONFIG::disable_bridges()
{
system ("echo 0 > /sys/class/fpga-bridge/fpga2hps/enable");
system ("echo 0 > /sys/class/fpga-bridge/hps2fpga/enable");
system ("echo 0 > /sys/class/fpga-bridge/lwhps2fpga/enable");
}
// Enable communication bridges between ARM and FPGA
void ACL_MMD_CONFIG::enable_bridges()
{
system ("echo 1 > /sys/class/fpga-bridge/fpga2hps/enable");
system ("echo 1 > /sys/class/fpga-bridge/hps2fpga/enable");
system ("echo 1 > /sys/class/fpga-bridge/lwhps2fpga/enable");
}
this doesnt work with the newer Kernels anymore because the /sys/class/fpga-bridge isnt populated anymore......
i switched the kernel back to an old one and they are populated again. ( no changes to the rbfs or dtds nothing. just swapped the kernel with identical buildconfigs.
So my question. is there a new Driver package available ?
MMD driver and the ACLSOC_drv ?
