I tried this a year or so ago. I pretty much convinced myself that the
firmware loaded
correctly, and that read and write operations seemed to work. However, I
wasn't able
to find why the the ring buffer test failed. I also checked that the
firmware was identical
to that used on hpux.
There is an ATI document somewhere on the register interface.
I understand your frustration.
