Hello

 

It looks as if we have a serious problem with the PCI device driver. The driver just takes over the PCI memory configuration from the BIOS, and it turns out that the current BIOS of the IVI platform assigns memory block with a minimum address increment of 1 kB. The outcome is that the register addresses of the 3 SDHCI controllers and the EHCI controller reside in one 4 kB page. Since Genode seems to always assign one page to each device, it only can handle the first controller found. Trying to allocate resources to the next controllers results in errors:

Genode::Io_mem_session_component::Dataspace_attr Genode::Io_mem_session_component::_prepare_io_mem(const char*, Genode::Range_allocator*): I/O memory [bfe57000,bfe58000) not available

For the time being we require only one SDHCI controller so that we could omit the initialisation over the other two, but this still leaves the problem with the conflicting address assignment of the EHCI controller. I see only two solutions:

1.       Make Genode dealing with PCI memory resources smaller than 4 kB.

2.       If #1 is not affordable, let the PCI driver reassign the memory resources with a minimum increment of 4 kB.

I’d like to get some hints how to proceed.
