cmem 移植常见错误处理

最早接触cmem是TI davinci系列中dvsdk有个cmem模块,

主要负责共享音视频数据,以及应用程序(IPNC)的一些消息通信.

后来IPNC要移植到其它系统上,如海思,升迈,安霸.出现了一些错误,

遇到了一些麻烦,虽然是简单的问题,但也走了许多弯路.

现总结一些经常遇到的,方便大家参考,如果有别的问题,也可以留言在后面


1,insmod cmemk.ko,提示cmemk: Unknown symbol cpu_cache (err 0)
说明:
这个错误通常是cmemk.ko 跟当前内核(kernel)不匹配造成的,重新编译一下就行.


解决办法:
首先编译内核, 在cmem的Rules.make中设置内核路径,接下来把cmem重新编译一遍,生成cmemk.ko即可


2,insmod cmemk.ko 提示 cmemk: Unknown symbol xx_dma_map_area (err 0)
说明:
xx_dma_map_area中xx表示不同的cpu型号,比如arm926等.

该错误通常出现在kernel版本高于 2.6.34 的时候.

解决办法:

假设是arm926,在src/module/cmemk.c中最后面添加以下定义:

#if  LINUX_VERSION_CODE > KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,34)

/*
 * The following assembly functions were taken from
 *     arch/arm/mm/proc-arm926.S
 * Since we can't use the C preprocessor to evaluate #defines, the
 * code that was taken is the code encapsulated by
 *     #ifndef CONFIG_CPU_DCACHE_WRITETHROUGH
 *     ...
 *     #endif
 * (note that this is #ifndef, i.e., #if !defined)

如果是别的cpu型号,依然可以从arch/arm/mm/proc-xxxx.S 或者arch/arm/mm/cache-xx.S中找到相应定义.
直接按照上面格式把这几个函数挪过来就行了.注意asm()里面不要有空行,或者每一行都加\n \
