Hello,

My TX2i is running Kernel 4.4.38
The TX2i is connected to an Altera FPGA via PCIe
The output of lspci for this device is:

The kernel code I’m running is:

MsiCount = pci_msi_vec_count (pPciDev);
vecs = pci_alloc_irq_vectors(pPciDev, 1, 8, PCI_IRQ_ALL_TYPES);
irq0 = pci_irq_vector(pPciDev, 0);
err = request_irq(irq0, IrqHandler, IRQF_SHARED,“isr”, pPciDev);

request_irq failed.

Same kernel code is running under linux4.9.20 with Intel module on the same FPGA.

Is it possible that this TX2 kernel version does not support MSI-X ?

Thank you,
Zvika

Hi,
Th would need other users to check and share experience. If Kernel 4.9 is required in the use-case, we would suggest upgrade to Jetpack 4.6.3 and try.

Hi,

Thank you very much.
I will try and update soon.

Hello,

I burned L4T 32.1 (Kernel 4.9.140)

With this image:
irq0 = pci_irq_vector(pPciDev, 0);
err = request_irq(irq0, Irq0Handler, IRQF_SHARED,“isr0”, pPciDev);
err = 0

Then I called:
irq1 = pci_irq_vector(pPciDev, 1);
err = request_irq(irq1, Irq1Handler, IRQF_SHARED,“isr1”, pPciDev);
err = -22

It seems this image is better then L4T 28.2.1. Connection to first IRQ is OK.
But the connection to the rest 7 interrupts failed.

Can you please advise ?

Thank you,
Zvika

Hi,
The latest r32 releases is r32.7.3(Jetpack 4.6.3). Please try this release.

Hello,

I tried the latest release: r32.7.3
Attached the output of /proc/version.

This upgrade did not solve the problem.
Attached the output of lspci before and after insmod of my driver .
It seems MSI is not enabled.

Can you please advise ?

Thank you,
Zvika

Sorry - My mistake.
I didn’t call: pci_alloc_irq_vectors (pPciDev, 1, 8, PCI_IRQ_MSIX)

Thank you,
Zvika
