hello
we are using ethernet of evmc6678 under c6x-linux to get our system log with simple linux socket programming. but there is lots of problem.
first of all we can't use "write" or "send" command in uclinux-gcc for address out 256 MB that assigned to linux -->
therefore we used part of that 256 MB as our log holder, but there was a cache coherency problem, because we used EDMA to write log into linux memory and apparently linux can't manage coherency in this mode. also we tried to make some Part of DDR3 uncacheable by use of MAR registers but linux prevent us from such an action -->
so as a work around, we put data out of 256 MB by use of EDMA and then tell linux to copy it inside himself , this way we won't have coherency problem and also "send" and "write" command won't return "Bad Address error" and we receive data at the other side without any problem. but copy process that is done by linux is to slow, it's very slow so we should find another solution, best option is to make some part of linux mem uncacheable which we don't know how.
we also tried some solution that recommended on blackfin(since both of these are uclinux), and it was usage of max_mem command on kernel command line which didn't work. and since uclinux is NOMMU system, none of mmap and mem_sync command works on it. is there any way to make some part of linux memory uncacheable?
