Read registers in AST-2500

Read registers in AST-2500

Hi all,

I used the following code to get the value of the control register 'SCU13C'
in BMC Aspeed AST-2500.

#include<stdio.h>

#define SCU13C_ADDR 0x1E6E213C
int main()
{
long reg;
reg=123;
reg = *(volatile long *)(SCU13C_ADDR);
printf("%li",reg);
return 1;
}

Running the code I am getting Segmentation Fault (Core Dumped). Please
someone help to resolve the issue.


Thanks and Regards,

Akash

This is getting value from virtual address of the process, it is not related
to physical address at all.
You need to use "devmem" tool to read registers, which will handle the memory
mapping.

Note:
1. "devmem" depends on "/dev/mem" device, which depends on kernel config
   "CONFIG_DEVMEM"
2. With the patch
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/openbmc/2018-October/013665.html,
   you could use "DEVMEM_BOOTPARAM" and add 'mem.devmem' in kernel command
   line to enable the device.
