DAVINCI cmem模块

 模块cmemk.ko为 ARM和DSP通信提供连续的内存，装载的格式为： insmod cmemk.ko       pools=4x30000, 2x500000   phys_start=0x0   phys_end=0x3000000      pools_1=4x65536    phys_start_1=0x80000000 phys_end_1=0x80010000

表明

1、在内存0x0~0x2ffffff上开辟了两个内存池，第一个由4个30000字节得缓存组成，第二个由2个500000字节的缓存组成。

2、在内存 0x80000000~0x8000ffff上开辟了一个由4个65536字节缓存组成的内存池。（注：低版本的cmem只支持一块内存）

按照Davinci内存的划分，cmem的内存空间位于linux内存和DSP算法使用的内存之间，在dvsdk2.0中cmem内存空间为118~128M（低版本的dvsdk为120~128M，不过低版本的dvsdk的DSP server程序128M之后的很大一块也没有使用，cmem大一点也没事，不过2.0中DSP server程序内存使用从128M开始）

dvsdk2.0中，cmem模块目录为：

[root@localhost cmem]# cmem提供的接口在demo中没有出现，而是被中间件进行了封装。dvsdk1.3中内存的分配使用了CE中OSAL包中Memory模块的 Memory_contigAlloc()函数，

dvsdk2.0的demo使用了DMAI模块（在CE基础上进一步进行了封装）。

 

CMEM是一个连续物理存储空间分配模块，使得ARM端Linux进程和DSP端算法之间能够共享缓冲区。当应用程序需要在共享缓存区动态申请一个连续的物理空间时，通过调用CMEM的API可以实现，申请得到的空间可以供DSP端访问，进行算法处理时数据的传递与处理。

在DVSDK中集成了CMEM模块，CMEM模块安装在Linux服务器下的路径为：/opt/dvevm_1_20/cmem_1_02

在Linux服务器的控制台下，需进行如下操作实现编译：

Host # cd /opt/dvevm_1_20/cmem_1_02/packages/ti/sdo/linuxutils/cmem

Host # make all

Host #make install

运行后，即对cmem模块进行了编译，编译文件为在目录src/module下生成的cmem.ko模块，并将cmem.ko和测试文件安装到了目标板的/opt/nfs/opt/dvsdemos目录下。

DVSDK中的CMEM Demo提供了测试程序：apitest能够测试CMEM的API功能，translate能够测试虚拟地址与实物理地址之间的转换功能.
