I decided to use spidev in order to ease things. Here is what I currently did: I changed the kernel so everything is working on the real overo board. So it is definitely a qemu problem.I put logging messages into the qemu code to see where I was stucked at: it is transmitting the spi messages but it gets stuck in the spi.c at the line if ((dev = bus->device[channel])).From that I think the bit I'm missing is the initialisation of the spidev device on the qemu side. I don't know if that has to be defined when launching qemu or if that has to be created in qemu source code (then where and how?). I haven't been able to find anything on that subject so I hope someone here can give me a hint.

I know there is some OMAP SPI stuff in qemu but its not QOMified (the frawework that lets you command line create devices) so you will have to change source code if this is the case (assuming it is a device creation problem). I recently did some work apadting hw/ssi.c for spi and that is QOMified so may be worthwhile bringing you SPI devices into that framework so you can command line create attached SPI devices. If you can point me at a tree and the device models that are your spi controller and devices (im guessing hw/omap_spi,c), then Ill be able to give an idea of the effort involved. I may be able to help you contribute here, the biggest obstacle for me however is testing. If you can provide tests that exercise the omap SPI then I may be able to help with a OMAP SPI QOMification effort (and you bug will hopefully come out in the wash).

I'm building with qemu-linaro and launching qemu with "qemu-system-arm -M overo -m 512M -sd sd-image.img -clock unix -display none -serial stdio". For the spi device, I thought of using the omap_spi. I have been playing around last night with the spi_create_device function and I was able to have data going through. I used the tsc2005 device as the omap_spi device reported "Property '.channel' not found". My final aim being to use qemu in a simulator, I would have to send the spi data to the PC linux side where the emulated hardware will be. I'm therefore not yet sure if it is not easier for me to develop my own spi device directly instead of putting another layer on top of the omap_spi.

I'm building with qemu-linaro Hi Johan, Sorry about the delay. Ive had a quick browse of this tree. The OMAP spi work there is ahead of whats in mainline, but is still divergent from the the ssi based in mainline that I have been working on. Should be a fairly mechanical conversion to bring what PMM has done there over to SSI so there is only one SPI bus implementation that can all the devices.

Thats sounds like a bug in QEMU, probably in the Linaro tree SPI framework. > My final aim being to use qemu in a simulator, I would have to send the spi > data to the PC linux side where the emulated hardware will be.

Shouldn't be a layer onto of OMAP spi, rather a SPI device definition. You should be able to do it in a self contained way without having to worry about what spi controller (OMAP or otherwise) is driving your device.

It is indeed not supposed to be a spi device (which is why it failed when treated like one). omap_spi makes the connection between the different spi registers and the spi.c. The way I see it is the following: omap_spi<->spi<->my_device I would therefore need to create my device and add it to the spi bus using spi_create_device (which does make sense since if there is nothing plugged in the spi bus, how can it communicate). I still have to look at the complete communication cycle, especially the receiving part.

That > something of a long term goal though. Yeah, I'm not particularly attached to any of the SPI OMAP3 code in that tree (not having written it myself :-)). However I haven't had much time to do omap3 related work for some time now, so mostly my rebases of that tree have been mechanical + smoke test. It's possible I missed something I should have changed... In general, yes, we should get upstream's SSI framework into good shape and then bring the omap3 stuff into line with it (possibly even managing to upstream omap3?). -- PMM ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
