As a first level test of my PCI driver I hoped I could gain access to the pci_iomap region via the /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/resource0 file from my user application. The man page for mmap, the sample Program I found, and other posts seem to indicate that user process access should work. But some articles seem to indicate that the mmap call needs to be done from within the kernel via an ioctl accessor.
My Question is should mmap() of the PCI sysfs resource file work from application space?
When I run my code mmap returns what looks like a valid address but I get a Bus error when I try and access the virtual address. I believe my end device a PCI to Xilinx AXI bridge which is on the FPGA is functioning ok since I can R/W to it over a windows PCIe utilty (Win Driver) I am on an NXP LS1021A ARM7 processor with Linux ver 3.12.37.
Thanks Bill
Not that I want anyone to debug my code but what I am doing may be best explained by the code so I have included it also. I apologies if the pasted code doesn't display correctly. Hopefully it does.
I run the code below and get root@ls1021aiot:~# pcimem /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/resource0 0 w
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/resource0 opened. Target offset is 0x0, page size is 4096 map mask is 0xFFF mmap(0, 4096, 0x3, 0x1, 3, 0x0) mmap(0, 4096, 0x3, 0x1, 3, 0x0) PCI Memory mapped 4096 byte region to map_base 0x76fb5000. PCI Memory mapped access 0x 76FB5000. Bus error
