Message: 66338   

Dear All,

            I am using 2008R1.5 release,

In that released, I had enabled the SPI_MMC driver and vfat for our BF561 based custome board.

I can able to mount the vfat to spi_mmc driver and tried the below testing.

first i tried to read a 3.3MB file at a single from sdcard, at first i can able to read the complete file.

then again, i tried to read the same 3.3MB file from the same sdcard, i am getting below error.

BUG: failure at block/elevator.c:780/elv_dequeue_request()!

Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

Let me know, how to resolve the above issue.

Sorry I cannot understand "

Do you mean the first time you read it, it is OK, then read the same file for the second time, there is error?

Please post the full test steps and messages ( from insert card to read failture).

HI Yi,

Thanks for the reply and Sorry for the inconvience message,

you are right at the first read, i can able to read the file.

but during the second attempt i am getting the issue.

Below are my testing sequences for reading the file from SDCard

Step 1: Inserting the sdcard into the sdcard slot.

Step 2: power on the board.

Step 3: booting the kernel from sdram using bootm 0x1200000

then, below are the other testing sequences for reading the file from sdcard.

root:/>

root:/> mount -t vfat /dev/spi_mmc /mnt

root:/> cd mnt/

root:/mnt> ls

Bird.BMP     Leaf.jpg     Test5.ogg    ketchup.mp3

root:/>

root:/>

root:/>

root:/bin> ./NetFrame

In Main

Fsize = 150843

Buffer start address = 4c0004

BUG: failure at block/elevator.c:780/elv_dequeue_request()!

Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

Now, i had found there is some inconsistency of reading the files from sdcard that is sometimes i can able to read the 2 MB and 3MB files.

Let me know some suggestion to fix this issue.

What exactly does "NetFrame" do?  Have you tried just verifying read operation using something standard like 'dd' for example?

Since md5sum works.  And you didn't try dd (?) May I respectfully suggest it's your code that's at fault.  Perhaps not a large enough read buffer?  I've used SD cards a fair amount with Blackfin linux with no real problem.

below is the simple code that i am using for my testing

       fp = fopen("/mnt/britney1.wma","rb");

        if(fp)

        {

                fseek (fp , 0 , SEEK_END);

                FileSize = ftell (fp);

                rewind (fp);

                printf("Fsize = %d\n",FileSize);

                TestBuffer= (char*) malloc (sizeof(char)*FileSize);

                if( TestBuffer == NULL)  return;

                else printf("Buffer start address = %0x\n",TestBuffer);

                printf("Calling fread\n");

                retval = fread(TestBuffer, sizeof(char), FileSize, fp);

                printf("fread ended\n");

                if(retval > 0) printf("%d bytes read\n", retval);

                else    printf("Error while read %d \n",retval);

                fclose(fp);

        }

There have been lots (too many to count) bug fixed which are applied to the svn branch - which would not be in the tarball.

Can you do a checkout on the svn branch and try it out?

Michael,

any reason you are NOT using the mmc_spi driver?

It will give you enhanced compatibility for some ugly SD cards, and SDHC cards are supported.

Michael and Wolfgang,

I think Michael is using 2008R1.5 release - we usually suggest 2008R1.5 user to use 2008R1.5 branch in SVN (for bug fixes). However, the bfin-spi driver and mmc-spi driver fixes are not back ported to 2008R1.5 branch, i.e, people have to use svn trunk in order to use mmc-spi driver on Blackfin.  - It seems we need to do the back port. So Michael, you can choose to, use mmc-spi driver in SVN trunk, or back port the fix in svn trunk to 2008R1.5 branch.

Dear Wolfgang and Yi,

Thanks for your suggestions. Indeed I'm using 2008R1.5RC3. So I have to go for SVN Trunk and then backport the driver.

Hi Robin and others,

As per your suggestion, i had downloaded the file(bfin_5xx.c)( Revision :6141 last updated Mar2 feb 2009).

I replaced that file only with the uclinux distribution 2008R1.5 and compiled the distribution. I am getting compilation below compilation issues.

Let me know your suggestion, whether I had done the proper downloading and compilations.

Hi wolfgang,

As per your suggestion, I had looked on the spi frame driver also. Actually, you had done it for bf52X processor. we are using custom board with bf561, i cant able to find the configuration macros CONFIG_SPI_MMC and CONFIG_SPI_MMC_MODULE for bf561 board.

You suggestion fine, but i think its better to work on spi_mmc to fix the issue.

Hi Heiser,

Have you tested the spi_mmc on 2008R1.5RC3.

Regards, Senthil

that isnt going to work, nor is it supported.  you have to use the entire kernel from svn.

Hi Mike and Robin,

As per your suggestion, I had downloaded the svn from the following path

https://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/uclinux-dist/frs/

File Name : uclinux-dist-trunk-svn.src.tar.tar, Size : 498.68 MB

I had just taken the linux.2.6.x folder from the above distribution and replaced the with the old linux.2.6.x kernel, which is downloaded from the above mentioned path only. I had already mentioned in my previous mail that what version and from where i had downloaded the distribution.

Now, i had configured the new kernel and mmc_spi as per the helper document at below address for 2009R1 Release and later.

docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=linux-kernel:drivers:spi_mmc&s[]=spi&s[]=mmc

As you know that the helper document is for BF537 stamp board.

Also, you know that, i am using BF561 custom board for our testing, Let me know where i have to add the below configuration for the BF561 board. whether i have to add it in ezkit.c or cm_bf561.c file at arch/blackfin/mach-bf561/boards.

2009R1 Release and Later
