IPC_start fails everytime

It appears that you don't have the needed kernel change that recognizes the AF_RPMSG socket family.

These 2 lines from <kernel_dir>/include/linux/socket.h need to be present:
./include/linux/socket.h:#define AF_RPMSG       41      /* Remote-processor messaging   */
./include/linux/socket.h:#define PF_RPMSG       AF_RPMSG

Please check your kernel sources for this content.  If you don't have it then you probably need to find the correct kernel.  I thought the MCSDK 3.00.03.15 had this change.

William,

I have build the demo project successfully in CCS5.5 as you mentioned.
C:\ti\mcsdk_bios_3_00_03_15\demos

The Image Processing Demo for Keystone II differs in the following ways from the original Image Processing
Demo:
• The main process runs on the ARM cluster and is launched using the Matrix Application launcher.
• NDK is removed, as the web server is now run via Matrix.
• The DSP images are loaded using MPM.
• DDR3 memory is allocated by the ARM through requests to the DSP core0. The physical address returned by
core0 is then mapped to user space.

1) My goal is not just to run a demo application, it is to test my build environment, and to test my IPC install on the EVM.

2) Since IPC does not have any examples for the Keystone II, I decided to use the IPC example from the C:\ti\mcsdk_bios_3_00_03_15\demos directory.

3) When I run the IPC example from the matrix GUI, I still get an error:

Ipc_start failed: status = -1
Ipc_start: NameServer_setup() failed: -1
Using numLoops: 1000; payloadSize: 8, procId : 1
Script Complete

4) My kernel source does include the lines of code refferenced above

I am trying to get to a point where I can write my own IPC code but as of now I have yet to be able to get anything from the MCSDK working.

Anyone have an answer?

I have LAD running and I try to run just a simple program like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#include <ti/ipc/Std.h>
#include <ti/ipc/Ipc.h>
#include <ti/ipc/MessageQ.h>
#include <ti/ipc/MultiProc.h>
#include <ti/ipc/NameServer.h>


int main()
{
	int status;
	status = Ipc_start();
	printf("Status = %d", status);
	return 0;
}

and I get the same output: "Ipc_start: NameServer_setup() failed: -1"

Here is the output from lad.txt

William,

Please go through the sections "NameServer Module" and "Build Procedure" in the IPC User Guide, find the details of how to build the IPC project using SYSBIOS environment.
ipc_3_00_04_29\docs\IPC_Users_Guide.pdf

I am trying to do all of this on the ARM side. ARM -> ARM messaging no sys/bios.

On a side note I have created a sys/bios project, loaded it on the DSP with the above configuration information. And still get the same results.

Still same problem. I should not need to do any sort of recompiling or 'syncing' of LAD in order to call IPC() start. I do not see how it has become so hard to run a simple message queue. There is so much going on in the background with LAD, and mpmcl that there is almost no way for me to debug this issue by myself.

Hi William --

I am encountering the exact same problem.  I wanted to also run ping_rpmsg from the ipc demos but that did not work with a similar error, address protocol not supported.  However, the required patches are in the sockets.h file.

Have you had any resolution on this problem?

Thanks,

Yes I fixed it but I had to roll back to the 3.8 Kernel from the 3.10
