Hello !
Would anybody tell me how to manually enable PCI BusMaster at specified
device (audio device) ? I read all QNX docs concerning PCI, but doesn’t
found any helpful information about BusMaster enabling.
Suggestion: ado API lacks of this function. (linux has
pci_set_master(device); function for this purpose)
I have some thoughts about manual enabling BM, but no sure is that correct.
Just writing (set up one bit) to ‘Command Register’ of PCI config space on
specified device. Is that right ?
With best regards, Mike Gorchak.
I believe that’s what the mentioned Linux finction is doing. And afaik it is
unnesessary in QNX for some reason (maybe one of ado_xxx functions does it
silently).

My impression is likewise that setting the PCI_COMMAND_MASTER_ENABLE bit in
the Command field of the _pci_config_regs structure is the way to ensure
that PCI bus mastering is enabled. (Of course, “pci -vv” can be used to
tell if it’s already enabled for your device.)

No, ado_xxx functions doesn’t sets bus master flag silently (I’m checked
this at last Friday), definitely I’m need to set it manually …

I do that, but with no success. What I found in linux kernel code:
They do the same things as you described above, but after that they call
pcibios_set_master function, the function source from 2.4.2 kernel I listed
below:
void pcibios_set_master(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
u8 lat;
pci_read_config_byte(dev, PCI_LATENCY_TIMER, &lat);
if (lat < 16)
lat = (64 <= pcibios_max_latency) ? 64 : pcibios_max_latency;
else if (lat > pcibios_max_latency)
lat = pcibios_max_latency;
else
return;
printk(“PCI: Setting latency timer of device %s to %d\n”, dev->slot_name,
lat);
pci_write_config_byte(dev, PCI_LATENCY_TIMER, lat);
}
This function is easy to port. Any comments ? Is that correct ?
BTW: It is good reason to expand pci_* function set with at least one
function: pci_set_master, the headache for developers can be smaller
