[DM8148]: syslink, vpss, firmware and co. problem

Hi,

I'm using a Ubuntu 10.04 rootfs with the Arago Projekt linux-omap3 kernel (branch ti814xx master). Furthermore I use the following build environment and SDK:

CodeSourcery 2009q1-203
syslink_2_0_0_78
ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_01_01_80 (Beta)  SDK (as it is linked in the DM8148 Product Page.
TI814X-LINUX-PSP-04.01.00.03 (as I can not find the newer one ..05 from the wiki)

So compiling of the syslink drivers works (i.e. all variables set to the used ezsdk, except for the kernel that is set to linux-omap3), except some error occurrs when building some sample application.
Now when I try to install the vpss kernel module, I get errors like "notify send failed".

notify_send_event failed! status = 0xfffffff3 (multiple times)

I tried to load the vpss bios firmware (bios) supplied by the PSP above using the generated slaveloader_release program, but those might be incompatible to the given syslink version/vpss (did that before loading vpss as suggested).

I would have used the pre-built kernel modules, but those can't be loaded (insmod: error inserting 'vpss.ko': -1 Invalid module format).
When I try to load the Framebuffer kernel module ti81xxfb.ko, I get ti81xxfb ti81xxfb: no grpxs.

Any ideas? Where do get the new PSP or firmwares or can I build them myself? Is it even possible with the given environment?

Thanks in advance

Markus

EDIT: Attached dmesg output 3771.error.log

    UPDATE:

    downloaded the newest xdctools, ipc, cgt ,etc. . Still doesn't work. could be still due to possible incompatible vpss.xem3  firmware. (...003 PSP).t

    Any suggestions? Where do I get the newest VPSS firmware (DM8148) or how can I build it myself?
    Or do think the problem is somewhere else?

    Regards Markus

    The VPSS firmware images provided in the SDK are definitely incompatible with some of the latest components (e.g. SysLink, Codec Engine, etc).

    There is a new SDK update planned here soon that will update to the latest components.  Hopefully others monitoring the forums can chime in with this info.

    Hi Arnie,

    thanks for the reply. Hmm, but shouldn't there be the new vpss .xem3 Firmwares available, at least the Wiki suggests that this is the case (..005 PSP).
    If so can you tell me where I could download them? If the firmware and kernel drivers of PSP ...003 had worked with the current kernel version, I wouldn't have switched. But
    in this case is was necessary, due to some bugs and missing inotify support. Furthermore the kernel modules weren't loadable.

    Thanks in advance

    UPDATE: Ok, the new PSP package is available now I'm going to try the HDVPSS binaries from there.
    UPDATE2: Works fine with the new binaries from PSP ...05.

    HDMI works using the PSP examples. Let's go for new frontiers :D

    Thanks

    Markus
