Serial RapidIO Maintaintance read causes lock up

Bastiaan,

A few things to check.

1. Is the target board also set up for small common transport system size ie 256.

2. Make sure the target has "Accept All" set - in fsl_rio.c look for

>                 out_be32((priv->regs_win + RIO_ISR_AACR), RIO_ISR_AACR_AA);

3. How do you synchronise reset between both systems ? Both need to be reset to 
insure the inbound/outbound ackid's remain in sync. If you only reset one then 
you have the potential for the ackid's to get out of sync. Also what is the 
kernel log on the agent system ?

Cheers.
