I am trying to emulate (as closely as possible) the AM3874 part on my TI8148 EVM, which is running the latest 5.04 EZSDK. Therefore I commented out the section of load-hd-firmware.sh which loads the firmware for the HDVICP. However if I do this when the load_firmware command for the VPSS executes it takes about 5 seconds to complete.
Is there something else you have to change to make loading the VPSS by itself run quicker? The latest syslink (2.10.05.26) mentions in its release notes that a bug was fixed that seemed relevant "Ipc_control start callback takes too long". Using strace on load_firmware seems to point to this section of code being the place where the delay occurs but when I upgraded syslink the delay still exists.
If this delay doesn't occur on the actual AM3874 part then it isn't a big deal but since I don't have one of those I thought I would ask. Thanks for the help.
