RTOS: VISION SDK-display dss aplication - How to display tigf video using the buffer array instead of loading the files from sd-card or local host machine path

I've moved your thread to the device forum.

Todd

Thanks Brijesh and Yordan.

@ Yordan,
We are using ti_components\drivers\bsp_01_07_01_17\examples\vps\display\displayDss application.

@Brijesh,
I tried with the command
bin2c.exe data.yuv
It shows the message as below

USAGE: bin2c <binary file name>


Then i tried with below command and it is working.
bin2c.exe data.yuv data.h data

Glad to hear it is working.

Please close the thread if it answers your question.

Regards,
Brijesh

Hi Brijesh,

After creating the header file we have  included the header file in .c file as 

#include "testdata.h"

Also declared array

UInt8 displaydata[BSP_TESTDATA_DCC_CFG_NUM_ELEM] = BSP_DRV_TESTDATADCC_CFG;

We have  compilation issue as below. But I tried with  test code using gcc compiler & it is build properly.

How to fix this error ?

This is caused by a defect in the compiler itself. TI Customer

Support may be able to suggest a workaround to avoid this.

Upgrading to the newest version of the compiler may fix this problem.

Hi  all,

We are able to manage the compilation problem using the bin2c tool from https://github.com/gwilymk/bin2c.

But  there is linking issue . 

es_displayDss_configuro/linker_mod.cmd", line 167: error:

  program will not fit into available memory.  placement with alignment fails.

We have arrary of 3072001 bytes. We are pointing the buffer address (bufInfo->bufAddr ) to this array.

 

Is it need to modify the linker script  file ?

Hi Gokul,

M4 Data size is just 3MB, please increase it in bld file stored in bsp_01_07_00_16\examples\config_tda3xx.bld.

Regards,

Briijesh

Hi Briijesh

We are working in (tda2xx) dra7xx platform.

Can i increase the VPSS_M4_DATA_SIZE to 14 MB in config_tda2xx.bld ?

Thanks & regards
Gokul

Hi Brijesh,

We increased the code section size to 4 MB and it works for an array-buffer size of 3072001 bytes.(nearly 2 to 3 MB)

But if we try to compile for an array-buffer size of 23040001 (21 MB), we get the below error.

We have changed the code-section size to 20 MB in this case.

Is it possible to build with this size ?

Hi Gokul,

It is bit higher memory size, If you still want to keep image as an array in the application, you could just increase the code section and it will still work.

Ideally, This buffer should be allocated from the frame buffer section and should be loaded. 

The other solution is to allocate this buffer from the frame buffer section using pragma in c code. In this case, you dont really have to increase code section to have big images.

Rgds,

Brijesh

Hi Brijesh,

We  tried to increase the code section to 45 MB. But it is not working.

So We  are trying to use the frame buffer section.

.I tried with the following lines. Still i am getting the same error.

extern UInt8 color[];

#if defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__ti__)

DATA_ALIGN(32) DATA_SECTION(".bss:frameBuffer")

#else

#pragma DATA_ALIGN(color, 32)

#pragma DATA_SECTION(color,".bss:frameBuffer");

#endif /* #if defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__ti__) */

How to use frame buffer section using pragma ?

The array (color) is already  initilaized  in a header file. 

Thanks & regards,

Gokul

Hi Gokul,

Sorry for the late reply.

In which file you have added this code? 

Can you just add below two lines in your c file just before declaring color array?

#pragma DATA_ALIGN(color, 32)

#pragma DATA_SECTION(color,".bss:frameBuffer");

You could also check the map file to see where frame Buffer and color array is allocated from?

Regards,

Brijesh 

Hi Brijesh,

We have a header file created using bin2c tool . This  header file contains the array data-color which is initialized.  

We have added the following lines . Is this correct ?

#pragma DATA_ALIGN(color, 32)

#pragma DATA_SECTION(color,".bss:frameBuffer");

UInt8 color[23040001] = {
0x10, 0x80, 0x10, 0x80, 0x10, 0x80, 0x10, 0x80, 0x10, 0x80, 0x10,
0x80, 0x10, 0x80, 0x10, 0x80, 0x10, 0x80, 0x10, 0x80, 0x10, 0x80,

0x10, 0x80, 0x10,......}

With the above changes, still I am getting the error

Hi Gokul,

For TDA2xx, the frame buffer size is really big, we have around 244MB reserved for the frame buffer. it should not go out of memory.
Can you please share your map file? and other changes?

Regards,
Brijesh

Hi Gokul,

In addition to putting buffer in the frame_buffer section, you will need to decrease the heap, which is used to allocate frame buffer. By default, the size of this heap is 242MB and this is exactly same as the reserved space of frame buffer section. Please reduce size of the heap by reducing value of the macro BSPUTILS_MEM_FRAME_HEAP_SIZE in vayu_drivers\bspdrivers_\examples\utility\src\bsputils_mem_default.c file. 

You will see that this macro is set to 242MB for TDA2xx, reduce this size, lets 100MB and then try it out. 

it should build now.

Rgds,

Brijesh

Hi Brijesh,

I tried by reducing heap size. But still get the error.

Do we need to place in some other section instead of bss , since the array is initialised ?

Thanks
Gokul

Hi Gokul,


It seems that it is just too big file. I need to figure out why it says out of memory.
But why do you want to static image in the code? Can you load image to memory using ccs memory window or scripting console?
