DM8168 Bottle Spin Demo Issues (OpenCV)

Heng Lou

I got this opncCV demo build and runs on the TI EVM now. However, it only runs on the RAM side. When I try to use the DSP with “-M armdsp”, I got the following error:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[t=00030000] mv-main: C6accel_create() failed engineName: ti8168, algName : c6accel

Segmentation fault

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The mv_app demo software is build with “ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_02_02_60”.

I followed User guide for my testing and the following information should shows what I did.

disable the firmware according to the User guide (move the files in /etc/rc5.d):

Heng,

Since the problem is comming from C6accel_create(), could you please ensure that the c6accel sample application is working fine. How to run C6accel sample is documented in Software developers guide.

we need below data to debug this further.

If so, could you please ensure that the file ti816x.xe674 is present in the same directory as mv_app executable.

Also could you please ensure you have done below step.

- Disable Out-Of-Box demos by running below command in target file system, But this does not disable the HDVPSS firmware loading and FbDev loading

                     cd $(TARGET_FS)/etc/rc5.d
                     mv S10load-hdvicp2-firmware.sh K10load-hdvicp2-firmware.sh
                     mv S30pvr-init K30pvr-init
                     mv S99matrix-gui-e K99matrix-gui-e

       I am also not sure if you had applied the patch $(EZSDK_ROOT)/component-sources/c6accel_MM_NN_XX_YY/patches/c6accel_opencv_integration.patch to c6accel.

       Also can you please attach the below files, There a one parameter needs to be altered here, i want to check if they are having that update.
             1. c6accel_2_01_00_09/soc/packages/ti/c6accel_unitservers/TI816X/ti816x.cfg
             2. c6accel_2_01_00_09/soc/packages/ti/c6accel_unitservers/TI816X/bios6.cfg

Best Regards
Velan

Hi Velan,

There are many files named ti816x.xe674 in the file system. I copied /home/root/dm816x-evm/c6accel/c6accel_opencv_testapp/ti816x.xe674 to mv_app directory and the "mv_app" works with the DSP now. I did apply the patch to the c6accel and disable the HDVPSS before. Let me know if you need the .cfg files.

The mv_app can run only once if I use the DSP acceleration, need reboot the system before I could run it again.

Thanks,

Heng
