Subject: [PATCH V3 17/19] accel/amdxdna: Enable AIE4 firmware logging to DRAM
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 20:23:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008032348.2044667-18-yidong.zhang@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008032348.2044667-1-yidong.zhang@amd.com>
Allocate a DRAM buffer for firmware logging, and also set the log level
to less verbose. This will give the best performance numbers.
