In vme_tsi148.c I disabled the window check as mentioned in my previous message. As suggested by Mr Welch, I started my own version of vme_user which for now just has a few more ioctls, giving access to functions which are mentioned in vme_api.txt. The only real change is, that in my version, vme_master_request is not done anymore in probe but based on an ioctl call, having a sister function allowing to remove the resources of that window. > > I observed also: > > - With my version of vme_user.c, I can perform a write using an ioctl > call which yields vme_master_write(), or by lseek and write() calls. > The freeze happens anyway, but with lseek() I say that a given offset > of 8 will show up as 135168. > Um, I think this may be your problem. > vm.enable = 1; > vm.vme_addr = 0xffff0000; > vm.size = 0x10000; > vm.aspace = VME_A16; > vm.cycle = VME_SCT | VME_SUPER | VME_DATA; > vm.dwidth = VME_D16; For A16 master windows on the tsi148, the only valid vme_addr is 0x0. The registers are probably set with the base address at 0x0 and so you probably aren't reading and writing where you expect to be reading and writing. > - I always thought that the card in slot 1 is the arbiter and, by > default, the bus master, until some other card is assigned bus > master.

Are you sure the geographic address lines are wire back to the VME bridge chip correctly (I know of boards where they aren't, sometimes the bus address is exposed via other custom route...). That looks like it's not detecting the geographical addressing.
