I configured my host system so that PCI devices(here ethernet controller) are available to drivers running in userspace. I have bound my ethernet controller to UIO_PCI_GENERIC and trying to map the device memory in userspace using mmap(). I am running this code on a VM.
#define MAPPED_SIZE (4*1024) //place the size here
#define DDR_RAM_PHYS (0) //place the physical address here
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
int fduio;
int *map = NULL;
const char uioDevice[] = "/dev/uio0";
/* open /dev/uio and error checking */
fduio = open( uioDevice, O_RDWR | O_SYNC );
if(fduio < 0)
{
printf("Failed to open the /dev/uio0 !\n");
return 0;
}
else{
printf("open /dev/uio0 successfully !\n");
}
/* mmap() the opened /dev/uio */
map=(int*)mmap(0,MAPPED_SIZE,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED,fduio,DDR_RAM_PHYS);
if (map == MAP_FAILED)
{
perror("mmap");
}
/* use 'map' pointer to access the mapped area! */
for(int i=0;i<100;i++)
printf("content: 0x%x\n",*(map+i));
/* unmap the area & error checking */
if(munmap(map,MAPPED_SIZE)==-1)
{
perror("Error un-mmapping the file");
}
/* close the character device */
close(fduio);
return 0;
}
OUTPUT:
open /dev/uio0 successfully !
mmap : invalid argument
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
What am i doing wrong? Is it because of offset? when i run this same code for /dev/mem it runs perfectly? Are there any special configuration to be made for doing it for UIO devices?
