[AM335x SYSBIOS/Starterware] The Cache configuration for the device memory (SD cardH)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hi all,

  Now I am writing a code to use the SD card to load the firmware, but not use the DMA.

  The MMU configuration is as below:

void MMUConfigAndEnable(void)
{
    /*
    ** Define DDR memory region of AM335x. DDR can be configured as Normal
    ** memory with R/W access in user/privileged modes. The cache attributes
    ** specified here are,
    ** Inner - Write through, No Write Allocate
    ** Outer - Write Back, Write Allocate
    */
    REGION regionDdr = {
                        MMU_PGTYPE_SECTION, START_ADDR_DDR, NUM_SECTIONS_DDR,
                        MMU_MEMTYPE_NORMAL_NON_SHAREABLE(MMU_CACHE_WT_NOWA,
                                                         MMU_CACHE_WB_WA),
                        MMU_REGION_NON_SECURE, MMU_AP_PRV_RW_USR_RW,
                        (unsigned int*)pageTable
                       };
    /*
    ** Define OCMC RAM region of AM335x. Same Attributes of DDR region given.
    */
    REGION regionOcmc = {
                         MMU_PGTYPE_SECTION, START_ADDR_OCMC, NUM_SECTIONS_OCMC,
                         MMU_MEMTYPE_NORMAL_NON_SHAREABLE(MMU_CACHE_WT_NOWA,
                                                          MMU_CACHE_WB_WA),
                         MMU_REGION_NON_SECURE, MMU_AP_PRV_RW_USR_RW,
                         (unsigned int*)pageTable
                        };

    /*
    ** Define Device Memory Region. The region between OCMC and DDR is
    ** configured as device memory, with R/W access in user/privileged modes.
    ** Also, the region is marked 'Execute Never'.
    */
    REGION regionDev = {
                        MMU_PGTYPE_SECTION, START_ADDR_DEV, NUM_SECTIONS_DEV,
                        MMU_MEMTYPE_STRONG_ORD_SHAREABLE,
                        MMU_REGION_NON_SECURE,
                        MMU_AP_PRV_RW_USR_RW  | MMU_SECTION_EXEC_NEVER,
                        (unsigned int*)pageTable
                       };

    /* Initialize the page table and MMU */
    MMUInit((unsigned int*)pageTable);

    /* Map the defined regions */
    MMUMemRegionMap(&regionDdr);
    MMUMemRegionMap(&regionOcmc);
    MMUMemRegionMap(&regionDev);

    /* Now Safe to enable MMU */
    MMUEnable((unsigned int*)pageTable);
}

With this configuration, the auto_mount will return error in the ff.c. While, when I disable the cache by comment out CacheEnable(CACHE_ALL);, it can work well.

For the device memory, I tried the MMU_MEMTYPE_STRONG_ORD_SHAREABLE, the same issue. and when tried MMU_MEMTYPE_DEVICE_NON_SHAREABLE, the uart, and SDIO will not work at all.

So could you help to check it, and give some comments on how to configure the cache.

Thanks!
Yaoming.
