@kuatwal,

Is your OS based on our reference image? The PREMPT_RT BSPs and images are released in an experimental state. So there is the possibility this has not been fully tested/functional.

It looks like you are trying to use the sdma for uart. Can you provide a bit more information your situation?

I am using the yocto downloaded from your site for verdin/dahila.
The yocto does not appear to create or install the sdma-imx7d.bin into /lib/firmware/imx/sdma/ or create that directory path.

Hey @kuatwal,

For the downloaded version, did you use the prebuilt image from our easy installer or build the image with the patch configured in?

Can you describe your application aspect a bit more? Are you intending to use UART with dma?

Does the OS operate as intended without your read/writing aspect?

Hey @kuatwal,

Any updates on this topic?

I downloaded the yocto from your site and build it. I did not use a prebuilt image.
