Calculator example fail to execute on hexagon dsp db410 debian 20.02 release

#1

Hi,

I am using the dragonboard 410, and running hexagon sdk 3.4.3 calculator example on dsp, but it fails to execute on dsp, linaro debian 20.02 release.

Posting the details here:

That’s something interesting right there. You’re running debian 20.02, yet it looks like there is stuff in that example that is expecting Android, which you are definitely not running.

Or more in particular, it is expecting the ion driver for Android. My guess is that you could get past this error by rebuilding the kernel with ion support enabled, since it is part up upstream kernel. Should be enough to add “CONFIG_ION=y”.

Not sure about the fastrpc-adsp error, probably something similar, maybe a missing driver.

#3

With Debian 20.02, you don’t need to rebuild the kernel, the only patch you need is a devicetree one to enable fastrpc support: loic.poulain/linux.git - [no description]

You can also patch the devicetree at runtime instead (on the target):

# git clone https://github.com/96boards/dt-update.git
# cd dt-update
# make
# sudo ./scripts/db410c/enable-fastrpc.sh
# sudo reboot

Then you should have a /dev/fastrpc-adsp device

Also make sure you have installed correct modem firmware (r1036.1). This firmware should offer a new fastrpcsmd-apps-dsp endpoint to communicate with the dsp:

# ls -al /sys/class/remoteproc/remoteproc0/remoteproc0\:smd-edge/
[...]
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root    0 Mar 11 08:48 remoteproc0:smd-edge.fastrpcsmd-apps-dsp.-1.-1
[...]
#4

Hi Loic,
tried this dts update (debian 20.02) without rebuilding kernel and reboot,
/dev/fastrpc-adsp is still not found.
Logs below:
Thanks,
Amit

#5

did you install r1036.1 firmware package (as explained in the wiki)?

#6

Yes, copied following chipcode r1036.1, binaries from: modem_proc\build\ms\bin\EAAAANGZ
efs1.bin efs2.bin efs3.bin efs_image_meta.bin mba.mbn mcfg_hw.mbn mcfg_sw.mbn qdsp6sw.mbn
to : /lib/firmware/qcom/msm8916/ and also to /lib/firmware/modem/

#7

Yes this is the right location, you must reboot after that. But you should copy also the modem* files (modem.mb0, …, modem.mdt)

#8

Rebooted many times already. Not found: “/dev/fastrpc-adsp”.
Help needed to resolve.

Couldn’t find any modem bins with chipcode.
Rootfs used linaro 20.02–linaro-buster-alip-dragonboard-410c-660.img.gz

$ ls /lib/firmware/qcom/msm8916/
efs1.bin efs_image_meta.bin mcfg_sw.mbn modem.b02 modem.b19 modem.b24 modem.mdt wcnss.b01 wcnss.b06 wcnss.b11
efs2.bin mba.mbn modem.b00 modem.b07 modem.b20 modem.b25 qdsp6sw.mbn wcnss.b02 wcnss.b09 wcnss.mdt
efs3.bin mcfg_hw.mbn modem.b01 modem.b17 modem.b23 modem.b27 wcnss.b00 wcnss.b04 wcnss.b10.

#9

Then should probably ask qcom for the right package. It is supposed to released it publicly at some point.

#10

Hi Loic,
I think “/dev/fastrpc-adsp” should be enabled after dts and kernel changes at linaro 20.02 release. Plz, confirm the patches.
I shall check for modem bins with qualcomm.
Thanks,
Amit

#11

Yes bu if firmware does not expose the right ‘smd-edge’ node (fastrpcsmd-apps-dsp.-1), the device is not created.

#12

Hi Loic,
Executing calculator example on dsp is success after updating the modem fw to r1036.1.
Thanks,
Amit
