This seems to be working! I can now run the rt driver without first running the Linux driver. :-) Do you see any problem with me continuing with the above temp fix?
No, because you only use request_irq() to set up the GPIO line properly, but you don't actually share the interrupt between linux and Xenomai, which is ok.
Philippe, I don't understand your response (below). It is too deep in Adeos/Xenomai technical details. After the issues are worked out on -core, please report back to -help to let us know what we are to do.
In short, Xenomai does not fully configure an interrupt line the way request_irq() does, this is the problem. Having the per-IRQ chip set_type() handler called is required to set the xxxDETECT bits in your case, and our low-level code (i.e. rthal_irq_request indirectly called from rtdm_irq_request) does not do that.
It would also help if you could better describe the meaning of the rtdm_irq_request() flags and whether the Linux request_irq() flags have any implications to Adeos.
They have none. The edge flag is purely Xenomai-related. When shared IRQ support is enabled, the EDGE flags passed to rtdm_irq_request() just gives a hint to the Xenomai interrupt dispatcher for dealing with edge interrupt handlers properly.
For example, I was quite surprised that both the request_irq() and rtdm_irq_request() to the same IRQ succeeded even though neither included a SHARE flag. This seems to require a rt driver to call both routines to protect its xxxDetect registers.
This is a current flaw in the Xenomai interrupt management routines; they should allow the IRQ trigger info to be defined when requesting an IRQ (via rtdm_irq_request) the same way request_irq() does on the linux side, but they do not support this yet. request_irq and rtdm_irq_request are not supposed to work together; IRQ sharing between linux and Xenomai is not formally defined, because it is semantically wrong. Actually, a real-time interrupt hooked via rtdm_irq_request should not be grabbed via request_irq() at the same time for handling the IRQ. This would mean that both linux and the rt domain share that interrupt, which would introduce a flaw, since a dependency would exist between the non-rt linux handling and the rt handling of the same IRQ. Think of a level-triggered IRQ, requiring linux to handle it before it is unmasked anew. To prevent an interrupt storm, the rt domain would then have to wait for the non-rt one (i.e. linux) to unmask the interrupt channel (i.e. maybe a non-rt device is requiring attention), thus introducing an unbounded latency.

I can see the pulses on the input pin and the non-rt version of the driver sees the interrupts, so that excludes hardware issues and u-boot pin configuration issues. Any suggestions? Regards, Bob Feretich __For some reason, that IRQ line may not be properly enabled by the core code. Could you introduce this patch? If a valid routine is reported in the kernel log message, you could locate it by address, from a kernel image objdump.There may also be more to do than enabling the irq line, such as programming the hardware to enable irq for this gpio, set the type (edge, level) and so on. You can try and call request_irq, then free_irq before calling rtdm_request_irq to see if request_irq would trigger some actions that rtdm_request_irq does not trigger.If you mean that beagle_twl_gpio_setup() still has to be called at this point, then we probably have something broken at ipipe level.I was rather thinking about gpio_irq_type, which is normally called through "set_irq_type". I wonder however, if calling this function for an irq registered through rtdm will not screw things up, especially since it changes the flow handler, or do nothing because the irq has not been registered with request_irq.chip->set_type() should be called when setting the IRQ trigger; this one completely depends on the per-chip routine. In the gpio_irq_type(), that should be fine, since we relay the settings through __fixup_irq_handler(), which is Adeos-defined. Xenomai is not currently setting the IRQ trigger when requesting an interrupt, which is the problem. However, set_type() handlers are often required to run in secondary mode; this means than any call on behalf of rtdm_irq_request() would restrict the latter to secondary mode only, which is not currently the case. This means that we should probably force this requirement on rthal_irq_request() at some point, because connecting a Xenomai interrupt descriptor to the Linux core may impose secondary mode on us. PS: switching the discussion to -core where it belongs now.
