DSPLink fails in Linux 3.1

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Hi,

We are using a custom made board based on a OMAP-L138.

After upgrading Linux kernel to 3.1 from 2.6.37, We are getting problem while trying to use the DSPLink module.

0x8000800c (DSP_EMEMORY) seems to be the error-code, but it should be enough memory.

No changes in either DSPLink (except built for different kerneln versions) or the DSP-application is made. It still works perfect in 2.6.37.

I have tried to set "mem=xxxM" as bootargs to the kernel, but it does not help. 

We are using DSPLink v1.65.00.03.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

    The problem is fixed with an ugly hack...

    DSPLink is trying to call ioremap on System memory. This is not allowed in later versions of Linux kernels since it will cause problems on ARMv6+.

    This is no problem in out case, so I just removed the check.

     

    Texas Instruments, Is there any DSPLink updates out there that is just waiting to be released?
