[Letux-kernel] letux-5.0-rc1 - SGX

Tue Sep 17 11:23:52 CEST 2019

Now its time for an update.

The driver setup is now working better and better on letux-5.3.

1. it works on omap5 / Pyra as you can see here

	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vis_pUOV6rw

2. on GTA04 and BeagleBone it has small problems

2a. modprobe reports problem with deasserting reset on omap3/am335x

root at letux:~# modprobe pvrsrvkm_omap_am335x_sgx530_125
[  187.528139] pvrsrvkm_omap_am335x_sgx530_125: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
[  187.584580] omap_reset_deassert: timedout waiting for gfx:0
[  187.614430] [drm] Initialized pvr 1.14.3699939 20110701 for 56000000.sgx on minor 1
root at letux:~#

2b. pvrsrvctl fails after doing an mmap2() which seems to map
   the wrong address to user-space so that some condition
   for pvrsrvctl initialization is not fulfilled and
   BridgedDispatchKM reports "Initialization failed".

root at letux:~# pvrsrvctl --start --no-module
[  209.085931] PVR_K: UM DDK-(3699939) and KM DDK-(3699939) match. [ OK ]

pvrsrvctl: SrvInit failed (already initialized?) (err=PVRSRV_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY - Unable to allocate required memory)
root at letux:~#

Full source code of v5.3 + pvr/sgx patches to compile with omap2plus_defconfig can be found at

	https://github.com/openpvrsgx-devgroup/linux_openpvrsgx/commits/letux-pvr

With full Letux-5.3 it one just has to configure

CONFIG_SGX=y
CONFIG_SGX_114=y
# CONFIG_SGX_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_SGX_DRM=y
CONFIG_SGX_OMAP=m
# CONFIG_SGX_GENERIC is not set

It is good to do

	(
	echo blacklist pvrsrvkm_omap_omap5_sgx544_116
	echo blacklist pvrsrvkm_omap_omap3630_sgx530_125
	echo blacklist pvrsrvkm_omap_am335x_sgx530_125
	) >etc/modprobe.d/pvr.conf

so that the module isn't loaded at boot time which makes experiments easier.

For a demo we also need user-space code.

Here is the procedure to create an µSD with Letux-Stretch that I use for my tests

# ssh into BeagleBone and become root
# insert empty (or to be overwritten) SD card into reader
wget -O makesd "http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-makesd.git;a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=makesd" && chmod +x makesd
# replace "pyra" with "bbb" or "debian" for gta04 (where bootloader is in NAND)
DEV=/dev/sdb ./makesd pyra -r http://download.goldelico.com/letux-debian-rootfs/20190708-stretch-9.9-armhf-minimal.tbz
mkdir -p /media/letux/rootfs
mount /dev/sdb2 /media/letux/rootfs
cd /media/letux/rootfs
wget -O sgx.tar.xz https://packages.pyra-handheld.com/images/extra/sgx.tar.xz
tar xvJf sgx.tar.xz
cp -R sgx/pvr/etc sgx/pvr/lib .
cp -R sgx/pvr/bin sgx/pvr/include ./usr
ln -sf libgbm.so.1 usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libgbm.so.2    # there is (will be) no libgbm.so.2 in Debian
(echo blacklist pvrsrvkm_omap_omap5_sgx544_116; echo blacklist pvrsrvkm_omap_omap3630_sgx530_125; echo blacklist pvrsrvkm_omap_am335x_sgx530_125) >etc/modprobe.d/pvr.conf
# optionally install newly built kernel, device tree and modules
cd $HOME
umount /dev/sdb*
# extract SD card and insert into Pyra

# boot Pyra
# ssh or access console into Pyra (ssh root at 192.168.0.202 through USB3 port)
yes | apt-get install letux-base libdrm-omap1 libgbm1   # needs some active internet connection on Pyra (ethernet over USB, wwan, wlan)
# use correct driver variant - see device tree
modprobe pvrsrvkm_omap_omap5_sgx544_116 - unless loaded through device tree
pvrsrvctl --start --no-module
cat /proc/pvr/*    # check that PVR was loaded successfully
eglinfo    # get some info
gles1test1 0    # run demo

What I plan is to include this setup in the Letux kernel tree
so that the /root/sgxdemo script loads everything on demand
what is needed.

Then one only has to install LetuxOS and run /root/sgxdemo.

BR,
Nikolaus
