Zedboard_Adv7511_HDMI Project Vivado Tcl building error - vivado

When I was trying to run ADI's project https://wiki.analog.com/resources/fpga/xilinx/kc705/adv7511 in Vivado 2017.4, then got this message
ERROR: [BD 41-1075] Cannot create address segment for </axi_hdmi_clkgen/s_axi/reg0> in </sys_ps7/Data> at 0x079000000 [ 4G ]. The proposed address exceeds the base address limitations <0x40000000 [ 1G ]> of the interface(s) </sys_ps7/M_AXI_GP0> through which this peripheral is accessed by this address space
Then I tried to allocate every address of every peripheral by using the auto address assignment in Address Editter.
Then I altered zed_system_bd.tcl
but still got the same kind of error. According to ZYNQ_TRM, GP0 mapping at 0x4000_0000 to 0x7FFF_FFFF.
Can anyone please tell me what I can do?

IO port register sizing and how device recognise address is for it

I read in a article about that 64k io port each are address assigned to 8bit register and when you combine io port together you get 16 bit,32bit etc. Sorry i am not getting that website in my history now so i cant provide link.
I just not understood what it want to say so i just put the raw form here
So there are mine few points that i want confirmation on as i am confused bcoz as i accidently land on another website they have just another idea.
i) i/o ports are assigned to registers of peripherals. These are of 16bit as there are 64k port and register they are assigned to can be of any size(8,16,32,64bit).
ii)Except for pci related devices io port address number are fixed,but as in device with configuration space register can be assigned io address number using bar any number one want just i should not be used by anyother device.
Que1)When a address come out of processor it goes to motherboard through northbridge/system_agent and it routes it according to address map it has, peripheral device are told to accept i/o range or memory address range on basis of what was configured in bar,but as northbridge is made up of many controller [like memory,graphics,pci etc] but it is who, who has address mapping to route.
queii) according to intel 82815 gmch northbridge page 129 section 4.3
"The processor allows 64K+3 bytes to be addressed within the I/O
space. The GMCH propagates the processor I/O address without any
translation on to the destination bus"
What does this means it only routes mmio and io bar but than how rest of io address(that are not assigned by software or due to i/o bar register) are decided. where should they go how peripheral device know this address it should acccept,if they are just thrown on the bus than how CS pin is decided of particular device

Why does Linux memory contain duplicate data?

I'm running a Unity game on Android, and I found that when I execute cat /proc/[pid]/maps, it output this :
It is wired to me because it seems that the memory contain duplicate data. ( like virtual address 0c300000-0c301000 and virtual address 0c301000-0c302000, they are exactly the same data mapped from /system/lib/arm/nb/libdl.so )
Is this behavior on purpose ?

Linux: writing to the i2c/SMBus

I have a problem with the i2c/SMBus on a Linux System with an Intel Apollo Lake processor. I am trying to read/write from/to an EEPROM but I face some issues. My EEPROM is located at the address 0x56, and I am able to watch the Bus with my Logic Analyzer.
When I try to read from the device via i2ctools (i2cget) the System behaves as expected. My issue occurs when I try to perform a write command via i2cset for example. i2cset ends with an error (Write failed). Because I am able to watch the Bus electrically I can also say that all lines stay HIGH and the Bus is not touched. I was able to activate the dev_dbg() functions in the i2c driver i2c_i801 and when I perform i2cset I am able to find (dmesg) the debug message:
[ 765.095591] [2753] i2c_i801:i801_check_post:433: i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.1: No response
When running my minimal I²C Python code using the smbus2 lib, I get the following error message and the above mentioned debug message:
from smbus2 import SMBus
bus = SMBus(0)
b = bus.read_byte_data(86,10) #<- This is performed
b = bus.write_byte_data(86,10,12) #<- This is not performed
bus.close()
Error:
File "usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packagers/smbus2-0.4.0-py3.8.egg/smbus/smbus2.py", line 455, in write_byte_data
ioctl(self.fd, I2C_SMBUS, msg)
OSERROR: [Errno 6] No such device or adress
A big hint for me is that I am not able to perform a write command in the address space form 0x50 to 0x57. My guess is that some driver locks the address space to prevent write command to that "dangerous" area.
My question is: "Does anyone know this kind of behavior and is there a solution so that I can write to my EEPROM at address 0x56? OR Is there a lock surrounding the i2c adress space from 0x50 to 0x57 and who is my opponent?"
I am kind of a newbie to the whole driver and kernel world so please be kind and it is quite possible that I made a beginner mistake.
I would appreciate hints and tips I can look after surrounding my problem.
It seems that I found the cause of my problem. In this Forum post is described that Intel changed a configuration Bit at the SMBus controller.
OK, I know what's going on.
Starting with the 8-Series/C220 chipsets, Intel introduced a new
configuration bit for the SMBus controller in register HOSTC (PCI
D31:F3 Address Offset 40h):
Bit 4 SPD Write Disable - R/WO.
0 = SPD write enabled.
1 = SPD write disabled. Writes to SMBus addresses 50h - 57h are
disabled.
This badly documented change in the configuration explains the issues.
One Challenge is, that to apply and enable changes to the SPD-write Bit the System needs to be rebooted. Unfortunately while rebooting the BIOS will change the Bit back to the default. The only solution seems to be an adaption in the BIOS.
For me, this issue is resolved. I just wanted to share this information in case someone faces the same issues.

Linux PCI Driver calls init, but not probe

I'm developing a driver for an FPGA-board connected to my machine via an PCIe expansion slot, and everything works great if the board is powered on prior to the PC. However, if I book up my computer first and then the FPGA board, I get the rather unusual behavior of the device being recognized and loading my module (I see the "init" function called in my syslog), however the "probe" function is never called.
I think this is due to an invalid BAR0. Output from dmesg when I power on the board:
[ 71.287587] pci 0000:3b:00.0: [0ae5:0001] type 00 class 0x000000
[ 71.287613] pci 0000:3b:00.0: reg 0x10: [mem 0x00000000-0x0000ffff]
[ 71.287821] pci 0000:3b:00.0: System wakeup disabled by ACPI
[ 71.328537] my_driver:
[ 71.328537] ****************************************************************
[ 71.328542] my_driver: init debug=2
That first reg should be something like 0xb4000000-0xb400ffff but instead it's coming up as 0. (Like I said, it works perfectly if it's powered on before the computer).
Is there an additional step required to get it to allocate this block? Or somehow to indicate to the kernel that it needs to do this?
The solution wound up being a manual call to pci_assign_resource ( http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/pci/setup-res.c#L283 ).
Calling this right before pci_enable_device caused the OS, rather than the BIOS, to allocate the required BAR's and now it all works!
I do still have to manually trigger a PCI bus rescan ( echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan ).
Your PCI device must be powered up prior to the BIOS PCI enumeration phase.
On enumeration phase, the BIOS tries to read the ID of the PCI devices that might be connected.
If it reads invalid ID (0xfffff) it skips that PCI device.
I don't have a reference, but AFAIK, you have about a second before you must populate the configuration space of the PCI.
Are you sure you register the PCI driver and don't return non-zero from mod_init? Please try to manually bind the device to your driver:
echo -n "0000:3b:00.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/my_driver/bind
Unallocated BAR should not be an issue when loading the driver.
As for the BAR being 0 and HotPlug: find out what is your platform and if and how HotPlug is supported. You need to have the right HotPlug driver in the kernel for this sort of thing to work. BARs are allocated by the kernel (or initially firmware/BIOS) so you can't set them to anything meaningful from the FPGA side - there you can only set the size. Kernel has to do the rescanning and reassignment after device appears. I vaguely recall that there should be some reservation going on during boot, otherwise kernel will not have to space to give to your devices' BAR and it will not reassign the windows on bridges below your device as they can be actively used by other devs. Other option is to just do the BAR programming yourself from the driver. It ain't that hard but you would probably don't want to ship this kind of hacks to customers. Also, even though your device does seem to come up fine, make sure you don't have HP disabled in FW/BIOS.

mpc85xx(P2040) startup using Nor Flash, where is Nor Flash mapped to?

I'm porting u-boot to P2040 based board these days.
As u-boot/arch/powerpc/mpc85xx/start.s commented:
The processor starts at 0xffff_fffc and the code is first executed in the last 4K page in flash/rom.
In u-boot/arch/powerpc/mpc85xx/resetvec.S:
.section .resetvec,"ax"
b _start_e500
And in u-boot.lds linker script:
.resetvec RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS :
{
KEEP(*(.resetvec))
} :text = 0xffff
The reset vector is at 0xffff_fffc, which contains a jump instruction to _start_e500.
The E500MCRM Chapter 6.6 mentioned:
This default TLB entry translates the first instruction fetch out of reset(at effective address 0xffff_fffc).
This instruction should be a branch to the beginning of this page.
So, if I configure the HCW to let powerpc boot from Nor Flash, why should I suppose that the Nor Flash's
last 4K is mapped to 0xffff_f000~0xffff_ffff? Since there're no LAW setup yet and the default BR0/OR0 of Local Bus
does not match that range. I’m confused about how Nor Flash be access at the very beginning of core startup.
Another question is:
Does P2040 always have MMU enabled so as to translate effective address to real address even at u-boot stage?
If so, beside accessing to CCSRBAR, all other memory access should have TLB entry setup first.

Hook Guo
