- USAGE
- ==============================================================================
- ./memalloc_load.sh

- What is memalloc?
- ===============================================================================
- memalloc is a test environment specific memory allocation kernel driver.
- It uses memory left outside linux memory management, devides it into chunks and
- gives base addresses to processes for these chunks(= a block of memory).
- It has been written for test memory purposes for a very specific test
- environment and nothing more.
- ===============================================================================
- Loading the memalloc kernel driver
- ===============================================================================
- NOTE: Check the kerner source path in the makefile! there are some predefined
- paths for 2.6.9 or 2.6.16 kernels.
- 1. Use the tool-chain workstation, similarly like in "Setting up the
- environment".
- 2. compile the kernel driver in 8290_encoder/software/linux_reference/memalloc
- > make
- 3. Copy the loading script memalloc_load.sh and the kernel object memalloc.ko
- to /export/work/yourwork_dir
- 4. For 8290 testing load kernel driver with:
- >./memalloc_load.sh alloc_method=2
- 5. Debugging:
- the device node should show up in the the directory /tmp/dev
- The device should show up in the list /proc/devices
- > ls /tmp/dev
- > cat /proc/devices
- Kernel messages can be viewed with
- > dmesg
- More kernel debug prints can be enabled in the Makefile
