Simple HEVC example on EVMK2HX?

Karsten,

Apologize for the delay. I am working with expert to answer this post.

Hey Paula,

Thanks for your reply. I already did most of these, and I am still stuck with a very odd crash. Whenever the program tries to execute these assignments in h265venc_ti_VidMc.c:

    printf("L2Heap: %016X L2_heap_mem: %016X L2_HEAP_SIZE: %5d\n", &L2Heap, &L2_heap_mem, L2_HEAP_SIZE);
    /* Initialize heaps */
    L2Heap.ptr                = L2_heap_mem;
    printf("Assigned PTR\n");

It doesn't reach the "Assigned PTR" printf. The output of the line before is:

L2Heap: 000000009360172C L2_heap_mem: 0000000000847088 L2_HEAP_SIZE:  2048

Which suggests that according to the memory map, the L2Heap is in DDR3B_DATA, which in my opinion should be the on board DDR and L2_heap_mem is in the local SRAM. Any ideas on why this would crash the SoC so badly that even JTAG can't connect afterwards?

Hi Karsten, it seems you have a single DDR3 area for both cached and non-cached sections. Please follow the memory allocation either in codec unit test or sv04 (MCSDK video application), for all the memory sections. For HEVC, we need to be very careful about the memory allocation, e.g., cached vs. no-cached, DDR vs Local L2.
Program.sectMap[".uncached_DDR"] = "DDR3";
Program.sectMap[".external_cached_mem"] = "DDR3";Thank you,Paula

Hey Paula,

Thanks, I checked that. Apparently TestApp_EnableCache does indeed assume that the uncached DDR will be at 0x98000000 as per define. So I changed the mentioned section to:

var uncached_DDR = new Program.SectionSpec;
uncached_DDR.runAddress = 0x98000000;
Program.sectMap[".SL2_mem"] = "MSMCSRAM";
Program.sectMap[".uncached_DDR"] = uncached_DDR;
Program.sectMap[".text"] = "MSMCSRAM";
Program.sectMap[".stack"] = "L2SRAM";
Program.sectMap[".external_cached_mem"] = "DDR3";
Program.sectMap[".intDataMem"] = "L2SRAM";
Program.sectMap[".const"] = "MSMCSRAM";
Program.sectMap[".fardata"] = "L2SRAM";
Program.sectMap[".neardata"] = "L2SRAM";
Program.sectMap[".rodata"] = "L2SRAM";
Program.sectMap[".far"] = "L2SRAM";
Program.sectMap[".args"] = "L2SRAM";
Program.sectMap[".bss"] = "L2SRAM";
Program.sectMap[".bios"] = "L2SRAM";
Program.sectMap[".switch"] = "MSMCSRAM";
Program.sectMap[".cio"] = "L2SRAM";
Program.sectMap[".cinit"] = "MSMCSRAM";
Program.sectMap[".constTables"] = "MSMCSRAM";

This did help a little as VidMc_Init is now passing, but whenever the uncached DDR is accessed, as for example in:

void *VidMc_alloc(XDAS_Int32 size, XDAS_Int32 alignment, Heap_t *heap)
{
printf("VidMc_alloc: entry %08X\n", heap);
XDAS_UInt32 address = (XDAS_UInt32)heap->ptr;

It still crashes the whole system. Any more ideas?
