I have done some tests based on your email. I will try to summarise. I hope this isn't getting too detailed for a tech-talk rather than private exchange. It seems to have the potential for wider use in the future but if anyone feels differently please say.


First off I tried some of the IOC commands as suggested:

Having done that I tried some modifications to the block of code pointed out in drvemSetup.cpp, rebuilding mrfioc2 and the IOC in each case, re-started the IOC and executed some commands at the IOC. The following are code snippets plus the IOC commands and output.

Rather a lot sorry.


At the end of all that it seems that BE_WRITE32(evr, Control, 0x0) is necessary rather than BE_WRITE32(evr, Control, 0x02000000)? Correct?


Does the mrmEvrSetupPCI output look sensible? The "Found SFP Strangeness 00070403" seems a little worrying?


Any further thoughts on how to address this properly?


Steve

So x86, I just wanted to be certain.  In the IOC shell run:

> pciread 32 0 0x64

The Version register is offset 0x2c.  The control register (0x4)
has a bit which enables byte order swapping for all registers
(including Control).

The sequence which sets this up is:.

https://github.com/epics-modules/mrfioc2/blob/master/evrMrmApp/src/drvemSetup.cpp#L575-L580

which I've not had problems with before.

If you want to go further you can run

> pcidiagset 81 0 0
> pciwrite 32 4 0
> pciread 32 0 0x64
> pciwrite 32 4 0x02000002
> pciread 32 0 0x64

One of these (I think the second) should show Version==0x17060207

I think I have some understanding of the parameters to mrmEvrSetupPCI(EVR-01, 1, 0, 0, 0). I could well be wrong on those but that isn't the source of my immediate problem. Executing the previous call gives:
