I'm seeing this issue on my omap3 install with the dialtone flowgraph:

gr_vmcircbuf_sysv_shm: shmat (3): Invalid argument

From $ man shmat

   EINVAL Invalid shmid value, unaligned (i.e., not page-aligned and SHM_RND

or SHM_REMAP was
          specified and shmaddr was NULL.

I hate system calls that have one error code for several errors.




In both cases I can hear the dial tone fine. I'm curious why I get
the shmat error the first time only.

You should see it only once ever, if the program can write to
~/.gnuradio/prefs.  Generally this gets written during "make check".

Does "make check" work?

Insert whining about make check for the cross compiled case :)


Why are you running as root?

I am lazy :)


It looks like gnuradio falls
back to another method of creating the shared segment.

Yes it does.

I'd like to resolve the shmat issue though,

Set a breakpoint with gdb, or add printfs.

OK, it looks like x86 sets SHMLBA to PAGE_SIZE and arm uses 4 * PAGE_SIZE. Need to puzzle through this a little more. This is the failing check in the kernel.

because I am also trying to run the kalibrate program and have the
same shmat issue there, but it does not have a fall back method.
