ETA for solution for DMA problem for Arch Linux image & A64+ 2 GB boards?
#6
Question 
(04-14-2016, 09:20 PM)patrickhwood Wrote: It was a function that returned a 32 bit offset instead of what should be a (now) 64 bit offset. It was in a driver that was originally written for a 32 bit allwinner processor. A one line change fixed it.  The driver worked on 1Gb boards because the dram addresses could all fit in the low-order 32 bits of the offset.

@piney, @patrickhwood & @rahlquist,

ok, thank you for the updated info. so if the update has been done, it's in the past, and the 2 GB boards now work, shouldn't that warning about 2 GB boards be taken out of the wiki, or changed to say make sure you have the update? who maintains these changes to the wiki?

just asking so someone like me doesn't read that and ask the same question.

up-to-date, accurate docs are always best.

best,
