Error when trying to write data to GPU DMA memory (using GPU Direct RDMA)

Mar 04, 2024

I’m using Jetson AGX Xavier on custom hardware with an FPGA based frame grabber.

The physical address of the DMA memory is known to the FPGA and the FPGA writes data to the DMA memory.


I want to use GPU as DMA memory without CPU->GPU memcpy using GPUDirectRDMA.


So, I wrote a custom driver for FPGA and tested it, but when the FPGA tries to write data to the DMA memory, the following error occurs.



arm-smmu 12000000.iommu: Unhandled context error: fsr=0x80000402, iova=0xffc00000, fsynr=0x13, cbfrsynra=0x145b, cb=7’



I wrote the code by looking at GitHub - NVIDIA/jetson-rdma-picoevb: Minimal HW-based demo of GPUDirect RDMA on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier running L4T.

How to use GPUDirectRDMA correctly?

Which part do I need to edit?


This is the code I wrote.
