Hi everyone,

 

We want to play 720p video in Beagleboard-xM Android. But we can't find a fit player software to do that, could anybody give me any suggestion?

We could't find any video player in TI Froyo 2.2 devkit.

 

Thanks

Yanbin Yue

    Please note that the xM prebuilt in Froyo 2.2 devkit release does not have multimedia acceleration enabled, which means you cannot play 720p video with it.

    one way you can do to enable 720P video on xM is following the steps below:

    - flash the xM prebuilt to a SD card;

    - replace the roofs image taken from DM37x prebuilt;

    - re-create boot.scr with the following content:

    if fatload mmc 0 80200000 uImage
    then
     echo ***** Kernel: /dev/mmcblk0p1/uImage *****
    fi
    echo ***** RootFS: /dev/mmcblk0p2 *****
    setenv bootargs 'mem=76M@0x80000000 mem=128M@0x88000000 console=tty0 console=ttyS2,115200n8 androidboot.console=ttyS2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 init=/init rootwait ip=off omap_vout.vid1_static_vrfb_alloc=y omapdss.def_disp=dvi omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-16 mpurate=1000'
    bootm 0x80200000

    Hi Bin Liu

    I test your suggestion, and the system will hang when  uncompress the uImage.

     

    2570284 bytes read
    ***** Kernel: /dev/mmcblk0p1/uImage *****
    ***** RootFS: /dev/mmcblk0p2 *****
    ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80200000 ...

    //hang here.

    please make sure mlo, uboot, and uImage are taken from the xM prebuilt, not the prebuilt for DM37x.

    Here is one way to verify that, please try to boot xM with the SD card before replace the DM37x rootfs.
