Hello TWG - pat, mark & steve.
I've seen your post to linuxppc-embedded@lists•linuxppc.org regarding
memory access from Linux.
Your code works fine.
"paddr2 = mmap(0,size,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED,fd,0x50000000);"
But page size is 1K and their start addresses appears in address
space with increment 0x1000.
So if I put 0x50000400 address it give me segmentation fault. It works
fine in region 0x50000000 ... 0x500003ff next 0x50001000 ...
0x500103ff and so on.
Question : how can we increase page size to eliminate these holes.
Thanks in advance.

No, the Linux page size is 4K.

Fix your hardware. I don't know what "size" is in your mmap() example,
but just because you map a large space doesn't mean you necessarily have
access to all of it. If the underlying hardware doesn't respond to
the access, you will get a bus timeout error which is reported to your
program as a segmentation violation (or bus fault violation depending
upon how we map the error today). It looks to me like your hardware
responds to the first 1K of a selected address space, and the memory
controller is programmed to wrap this on 4K boundaries.
What kind of system is this? What kind of device is mapped to this
address?

I like MMUs because I don't have a real life.

Would anyone happen to know where I could pick one of these up? We've
contacted Avnet and Arrow. Avnet has quoted us 90-120 days lead time, we're
still waiting on Arrow. It seems to me IBM would be more interested in
getting eval systems into engineers hands.

You might try contacting one the of IBM regional sales offices. Look at
http://www.chips.ibm.com/support/howtobuy.html for contact info.
I haven't actually tried ordering this way, please let us know if you
get a better lead time from IBM.
