TechWell TW6869 driver does not generate interrupts on embedded device

681 views Asked by At

I'm trying to get a Techwell TW6869 driver to work. This PCIe-chip is able to capture analog video signals. Therefore I'm using a driver which can be found here: GitHub

The chip is connected to a Freescale imx.6 processor which is running Angström distribution. The driver already worked on the target but I didn't use it for some time and somehow it doesn't do it's job anymore.

So what I did, was implementing kernel messages in the beginning of each function so I know what does happen exactly. Finally I found out, that no PCIe Interrupt is generated anymore. Though the interrupt is registered which I found out here:

root@freescaleimx6:~# cat /proc/interrupts | grep tw6869
155:          0          0          0          0       GIC  tw6869

Running something on the videodevice unfortunately does not generate an interrupt.

This could also possibly help (does it?)

Does anyone have an idea?
