Subject: MPC512x DMA to PCI dev
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 13:11:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49B7AA80.2030501@mta.it> (raw)

Hi all,
I'm trying to send some data through DMA from a memory buffer to a PCI 
video card VRAM.

While I got that I need to alloc the src buffer through 
dma_alloc_coherent, I don't understand which address I should give as 
the dst address.

I tried both the mapped hw address and an address received from 
pci_map_single, but even if the DMA transfer completes "correctly", I 
have the wrong data in the VRAM in the end.

I read about all the PCI DMA manuals, but it seems they are for letting 
some external DMA device on the PCI bus read/write from/to the main memory.

How do you do that?

Thanks,
Matteo
