SK-AM62B-P1: first time building yocto error - oe_runmake failed

and if you are wondering if i installed the dependencies:

yet more information that might help which leads to a question:

when i do -k in my bitbake command it starts building and then the terminal window i am building in will crash. i never get to see what causes it. is there a log i can look in to know what caused this fatal crash?

Hello,

I recently spoke with Dean and he mentioned that you are trying to play video on the SK-AM62 EVM. My first question is what you are trying to build from Yocto?

Regards,
Krunal

regardless of why, i am still having this issue

the history:

we are trying to put together a demo for our exec team showing video running on the hardware platform we want to use, using videos we want to use to show them how nice this next product could be. 

my first thought was so try to load Qt using Boot2Qt and start learning from an example product. the boot2Qt image that loads into the SD card does not boot. not even a U-Boot message

so i tried using the default image form the SDK and just deploy the program on the board and run it using your SDK, and it is missing Qt libraries

ok, so i am going to try to build the yocto image of the SDK and see if i can add the Qt libraries in a local config or recipe on one of the layers. nope, can't build the yocto image

Hi,

Let's break the problem into smaller steps.

Issue 1: Showcasing the demo

Solution 1: Instead of Yocto and Boot2Qt, could you please use the ti default image? Here is step by step guide for playing video stream:

Step 1a: Download and flash the latest image from here: https://dr-download.ti.com/software-development/software-development-kit-sdk/MD-PvdSyIiioq/09.00.00.03/tisdk-default-image-am62xx-evm.wic.xz 

Step 1b: Plug HDMI cable to the SK EVM and insert the SD card

Step 1c: Upon boot, you should see the TI Apps Launcher and type the following command to stop the demo: systemctl stop ti-apps-launcher and systemctl disable ti-apps-launcher

Step 1d: Reboot

Step 1e: Upon boot, you should just observe the grey (weston) screen. Now you can launch video play using following methods:

Method 1: Gstreamer -> gst-launch-1.0 multifilesrc location=/usr/share/ti/video/TearOfSteel-Short-1280x540.h264 loop=true ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! v
ideo/x-raw, format=NV12 ! waylandsink

Method 2: Qt/QML -> Create QML file like following

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Window 2.15
import QtMultimedia 5.15
 
 
Rectangle {
    color: "black"
    width: parent.width
    height: parent.height
 
 
    Video {
        anchors.fill: parent
        visible: true
        source: "gst-pipeline: multifilesrc location=/usr/share/ti/video/TearOfSteel-Short-1280x540.h264 loop=true ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw, format=NV
        autoPlay: true                                                                                               
    }                 
}    

Next launch using command: qmlscene <file_name>.qml

Issue 2: Boot2Qt does not work. I recently had a call with Qt company and they did not account for the following: https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/AM62X/09_00_00_03/exports/docs/linux/Foundational_Components_Migration_Guide.html?highlight=hsfs. The original stuff is using gp variant but newer boards has HSFS. They need to update their images.

Issue 3: With regards to Yocto, did you select no for the following command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash"

Krunal

cobsonchael said:

MACHINE=am62xx_evm bitbake tisdk-core-bundle

Note that the MACHINE needs to be set to am62xx-evm (there's a dash, not an underscore).

Regards, Andreas

yeah it was a misprint, when i build iti use the dash

when i issue the command gst-launch i get invalid command so it's not installed it would seem. of course, this is when i close the project by hitting the x with a mouse.

is that method for using Qt different than opening Qt, picking a demo, deploying it to my machine and running it? because last time i tried to do that Qt Multimedia library was not installed on the default image and i could not play video.

yes i used dash and i answered no. i followed the steps outlined in the wiki

my bad i was using gst-launch not gst-launch-1.0, i was able to play a video (but no audio)

is audio supposed to work?

Hello,

Did you try to play that file back on your PC and see if it includes Audio? I believe it's just a video file and no audio contents. If you have a file with audio as well, you need to do the following:

gst-launch-1.0 multifilesrc location=<file_name.mp4> loop=true ! qtdemux name=demux demux. ! queue ! avdec_aac ! audioconvert ! audiore
sample ! alsasink demux. ! queue ! h264parse ! avdec_h264 ! videoconvert ! waylandsink

Regards,
Krunal

yes, the whole point of the video i am playing is that it has audio too

when i run that command i get:

WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "audiore"

is it supposed to be "audioresample"?

yes, the whole point of the video i am playing is that it has audio too

when i run that command i get:

WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "audiore"

is it supposed to be "audioresample"?

it is, audio works now. it's quiet but it works

Yes, it's audioresample. For audio, you can set volume using amixer. For example, if you run amixer controls, you can review all the controllable settings. On EVM, the following command will set max volume "amixer cset numid=15 127".

Krunal

super

so how do i build the yocto without errors?
