The problem about MCSDK VIDEO 2.1 PKT Demo

Nicole He

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCI6636K2H

My EVM is TMS320C6678L

I tried the MCSDK video 2.1.0.3 multichan_transcode_demo today. And I followed the steps and get the correct results I want. But when I came to this step (the guide link is here )

so I just copy the sv01.out from the ../dsp/mkrel/sv01/sv01.out to the directory

and tried to connect the tctp server

and I got this screencapture

I don't know it means fine or not....

So I tried the following steps, I tried to do the following two steps.....

Go to the <MCSDK Video Install Dir>\demos\pkt_xxx_demo folder and open two command prompts.

Run sendPkts.bat in one command window, which will send the video clips to the EVM
Run startMplayers.bat in the second command window, which will display the clips sent from the EVM.

but no such bats prompted.....

I think maybe because I couldn't generate the sv01.out.....

But I don't know why....Would anyone kind to help me ?

Thanks a million~

Hi Nicole,

Please try again with "installdemo.bat config.txt" and provide the complete log of running this command. It looks like your previous run was not successful, and that's why you are not seeing the generated .out file and batch files. Simply copying sv01.out is insufficient for running the demo.

Thanks,

Hongmei

I am confused about the instruction run" installdemo.bat config.txt" does it mean to open the .bat and the .txt at the same time, or open .bat and then open .txt. Or just drag the .txt to the .bat....

I think maybe this is the root cause of my failure~
Thanks for reply.

Hi Nicole,

Please open a command prompt and change the directory to "mcsdk_video_2_1_0_3\demos\pkt_multichan_transcode_demo". Then, execute the command "installdemo.bat config.txt", e.g.,

E:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\mcsdk_video_2_1_0_3\demos\pkt_multichan_transcode_demo>installdemo.bat config.txt

Thanks,

Hongmei

Thanks for your help~~~It turns out to be ok this time.

But I followed the steps, but the following problems came.

I opened two command prompts, the first one I run the sendpkts.bat

and the window shows

then I run another command prompts, run the startmplayers.bat

and then an error window sprang out. as shows above(in case you don't understand chinese I have the english translation in the yellow tip)

I make sure that the tftp procedure go well and I closed all the anti-virus and firewall softwares.....

Could you help me.

Thanks & Best regards

Hi Nicole, searching in the web I found that this error is caused because your PC hasn't .NET Framework installed.You can download .NET Framework 2.0 from Microsoft's or run Windows Update then choose to install it from the list of recommended updates.

On the other hand, could you please confirm us which Windows OS and which Mplayer version are you using?

Thank you,

Paula

Thanks Paula, I installed the .NET Framework 2.0. And My OS is Window XP. Plus the version of Mplayer is 2011-05-25 and I couldn't upgrade.

But this time the command prompts still showed errors here is the log

The sendpkts.bat screen capture

and the startmplayers.bat screen capture

Hi Nicole,

Did you update network device ID in config.txt? Please refer to demo guide for how to do it: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MCSDK_VIDEO_2.1_PKT_Demo_Guide#Preparing_Demo_Image_and_Files.

After updating the config.txt, please re-run "installdemo.bat config.txt" and restart the demo.

If there is still problem, please share with us the log of running "installdemo.bat config.txt".

Also please refer to another related post: http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/c6000_multi-core_dsps/f/639/t/189161.aspx

Hi Hongmei,

Can you suggest how to setup MCSDK video on host linux and run on the EVM TCIEVMK2X || TCI6636K2H .

Thanks,
Swadhin

Hi Swadhin,

Are you attempting to run MCSDK Video host on ARM A15 of K2H/K2X? If so, we have to port the TFTP demo with sv04.out. The PKT demo with sv01.out from MCSDK Video is not portable to K2H/K2X. Please let us know more details about your use case.

Thanks,

Hongmei

Hi Hongmei,

Good Day!!

Thank you for your valuable replay.

What we want to test a video processing demo via the Ethernet.
In host machine we are using ubuntu also downloaded the mcsdk_video_2.2.0.46 but not able to compile the setup
make: *** no rule to make target `sv04'. stop

if you have any suggestion please let us know,
How to control the dsp from the arm?
How to load the gel file in linux?

Hi Swadhin,

MCSDK Video was developed for C6678 + Ubuntu host. Porting effort is needed in order to run it on K2H/K2X using the ARM core as the host.

Can you please create a new E2E thread with details about your use case, setup, and etc.? We will take it from there.

Thanks,

Hongmei

Hi Nicole, please follow Hongmei suggestion. but as a 2-cents comment please check correctness of your PERL_PATH in the installdemo.bat.. this was a common error.
Example path:
PERL_PATH=C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe

thanks,
Paula

Hi Nicole, I fou.nd and old .txt with instructions to migrate codecs from C6678 to K2H. I hope this helps.

thank you,

Paula

Fullscreen 2260.StepsMigrateCodec_Shannon2Hawking.txt Download

*********************
For migration from Shannon to Hawking
-------------------------------------
1. Update version of tools:

CodeGen DSP compiler 7.4.2
framework_components_3_24_01_12
XDAIS 07.23.00.06
XDCTools DSP RTSC packaging and build tools 3.25.2.70
EDMA3 LLD Enhanced Direct Memory LLD 2.11.9.8
SYS/BIOS DSP real-time operating system 6.35.04.50
IPC DSP inter-process communication 3.0.2.26

-------------------------------------
2. Update XDCTools version in RTSC tab, select "ti.platforms.evmTCI6636K2H",
and remove custom platform package for Shannon from "Other Repositories"

-------------------------------------
3. Copy alg.h and _alg.h (if needed) from FC to codec unit test inc folder, and update include path in source files

-------------------------------------
4. Update EDMA config to use region config for Hawking

-------------------------------------
5. Update .cfg to include the following as FC is not built with the matching EDMA3LLD
environment['xdc.cfg.check.fatal'] = 'false';

-------------------------------------
6. Update .cfg and/or linker.cmd to use memory sections defined in XDC for K2H platform

-------------------------------------
7. Check MAR registers for cache settings. Modify if needed.


*********************
For testing on Hawking EVM

Do CPU reset for the cores before loading and running the codec unit test.
