Hi List, i've spent quite some time this evening debugging why the Fire GL doesn't work in my C8000. As reading debug output didn't give me much insights, i decided to throw some Hardware at the Problem and connect a Logic Analyzer to the C8000. For that i switched to an old PCI Radeon 7000 which shows the same ring test failure. I captured a few traces: First, from the card in a x86 PC where it's working: https://stackframe.org/radeon.png We can clearly see the radeon fetches the Ring descriptor via DMA here. Note the DEADBEEF in the trace which is the value written to the scratch register during the ring test. On C8000, we can see reading the DMA descriptor fails, radeon reads all zero: https://stackframe.org/c8000_radeon.png I had already a flush_cache_all() for testing in WREG32(), but it looks like this wasn't enough. Adding one to radeon_ring_write() makes the radeon happy: https://stackframe.org/c8000_fixed.png My assumption was that the zx1 chipset takes care about cache coherency, but it looks like that's not happening. Does that problem ring any bells for someone? Otherwise i'll continue investigating tomorrow. (Almost midnight here) dmesg looks better now, althought i don't consider adding flush_cache_all() as a fix ;-) [ 21.186924] Linux agpgart interface v0.103 [ 21.236890] quicksilver: IO PDIR shared with sba_iommu [ 21.343142] (null): AGP aperture is 512M @ 0x60000000 [ 21.397054] [drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.
