12 years agoPorting non-mmu code to MMU -- MMU memcpy SEGV
Thanks in Advance.
With the non-mmu nios2 our design defined sdram regions that we utilized for buffers in our custom device driver. **** device driver sharedMem = kmalloc( SHARED_MEMSIZE, GFP_USER ); if ( sharedMem == NULL) { res = -ENOMEM; exit; } else { sharedMemVertAddr = ioremap( sharedMem, SHARED_MEMSIZE ); } **** end device driver So, in my user space code I have an ioctl that I call to get the address - "sharedMemAddr" from the driver then I do my: memcpy( sharedMemAddr, (const void *)&sharedMem, sizeof(sharedMem) ); FOR THE MMU system I get -- "SEGV" FOR THE non-MMU system the scheme works GREAT! What do I need to do to get the MMU system to allow this type of "memcpy?"
