Hello Simon,


I had noticed your DMA fix PR (https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/
pull/5513) so I tested it with HSMCI SD card interface. There are still some
problems when I undef HSCMI_NOTXDMA at https://github.com/apache/incubator-
nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/samv7/sam_hsmci.c#L122. The card unmounts 
itself as soon as I try to write to it with 'echo' command. I think this 
might be quite a different problem that can be sam_hsmci.c related as some
other TX DMAs are working.




I tested DMA with SPI and it works (althought I can write only to one half
of the display but that might be some my problems in configuration if all 
your tests were fine) as well as DMA with USB device. I will take a look 
into HSCMI with DMA in the future, currently more critical problem for our
implementation at Elektroline.cz company is DMA support for U(S)ART. That 
will also be a nice way to find if there are some further DMA TX bugs.

Best regards,
Michal Lenc

Předmět: Re: SPI with DMA on SAME70
"Dear all,

I started to follow up this topic.

Found that one in sam_hsmci.c:

/* There is some unresolved issue with the SAMV7 DMA. TX DMA is currently 
* disabled.
*/


#undef HSCMI_NORXDMA /* Define to disable RX DMA */
*#define HSCMI_NOTXDMA 1 /* Define to disable TX DMA */*


That fits my (and Michael Lenc's) experience that DMA peripheral to memory
works. Memory to the peripheral seems broken though.

I will therefore debug *sam_xdmax.c*. Even if I find some odd comments on 
DMA timeouts in sam_spi.c.

If anybody has a better idea, or remembers details ;), please give feedback.


BR,

Simon
