kernel is not be mapping this address (0x2200A000) by itself. As you're mapping LED base to a user space virtual address, the easiest solution would be if you can have your LED base at physical in the already mapped range. Somewhere above 0xe0000000 for example. Then you'll have phys=virtual...no mapping required.

Another way is to map LED base where it is physically but have it mapped somewhere for example above 0xf0000000 and then you have to change the mapping in the xxxx_map_io() function in arch/ppc/kernel/xxxx_setup.c to account for this.

Hi,

We have ported U-boot and Linux to a custom 8280 board. For this board, the LED base has been set at 0x2200A000. I am able to write to this base from U-boot using mw command and control the LED display. But if I try to access the same memory from Linux, the kernel is raising an exception. I even tried to map this memory area by calling ioremap in MMU_init but the result was same. Do I have to do any other configuration in the Linx kernel to access this memory area? Following is the log:

regards, Sudhakar.
