Tried it again,
- Read only channel (write disabled)
- No interrupts connected up (just like example 3 in the above Xilinx link)
Still failed…
I suspect the VMDA driver expect that both read and write channels are enabled as well as the appropriate IRQs wired. This is a real pain, as i thought there would be a need to do what i am trying to do, and inject captured webcam video into the PL for processing.
