Hi Kumar, I am also having some troubles with rpmsg, having migrated from 4.4 to 4.9.
Your instructions seem to work fine, at least when I run my program for the first time. If I want to change the firmware for the PRU, I have to remove the pru_rproc module, but when I load the module again I no longer have the 3 directories remoteproc0, remoteproc1 and remoteproc2, but instead I have remoteproc0, remoteproc3 and remoteproc4. If I ignore that and try to run my program again I get a bunch of messages from syslogd@beaglebone and everything ends with a segmentation fault. If I try to use the new files, remoteproc3 and remoteproc4, I get the following errors (output of dmesg): [ 1765.434025] remoteproc remoteproc3: 4a334000.pru0 is available [ 1765.434147] pru-rproc 4a334000.pru0: PRU rproc node /ocp/ pruss_soc_bus@4a326000/pruss@4a300000/pru@4a334000 probed successfully [ 1765.441036] remoteproc remoteproc4: 4a338000.pru1 is available [ 1765.441157] pru-rproc 4a338000.pru1: PRU rproc node /ocp/ pruss_soc_bus@4a326000/pruss@4a300000/pru@4a338000 probed successfully [ 1765.685583] remoteproc remoteproc3: powering up 4a334000.pru0 [ 1765.686156] remoteproc remoteproc3: Booting fw image am335x-pru0-fw, size 80748 [ 1765.686896] ti-pruss 4a300000.pruss: event 16 (req. channel 2) already assigned to channel 2 [ 1765.700540] pru-rproc 4a334000.pru0: failed to configure pruss intc -17 [ 1765.709720] remoteproc remoteproc3: Failed to process post-loading resources: -17 [ 1765.719518] remoteproc remoteproc3: Boot failed: -17 [ 1765.796012] remoteproc remoteproc4: powering up 4a338000.pru1 [ 1765.796519] remoteproc remoteproc4: Booting fw image am335x-pru1-fw, size 80748 [ 1765.801629] ti-pruss 4a300000.pruss: event 18 (req. channel 3) already assigned to channel 3 [ 1765.810696] pru-rproc 4a338000.pru1: failed to configure pruss intc -17 [ 1765.821230] remoteproc remoteproc4: Failed to process post-loading resources: -17 [ 1765.831046] remoteproc remoteproc4: Boot failed: -17 So the events are still assigned to the previous channels? Can you please help me understand what's happening? First of all, what are these remoteproc1,2,etc. files (are they somehow related to the channels used to communicate with the PRU?), why do remoteproc1/2 disappear from /sys/class/remoteproc but the events are still assigned to them? And finally, how can I reload the firmware in case of a change? Best regards, Laura On Tuesday, November 14, 2017 at 4:16:22 PM UTC+1, Kumar Abhishek wrote: > > Which kernel version are you using?
