DM368 IPNC cmem error while running av_server.out

Hi,

 

I am working on Appro DM368 reference board.On running ./av_server.out i am getting the following errors:

# ./av_server.out D1

Please help me in debugging the cmem error.I tried allowOverlap=1 while doing insmod cmem.ko but same error.

Also if i use cmemk phys_start=0x83700000 phys_end=0x85900000 allowOverlap=1 useHeapIfPoolUnavailable=1

it says useHeapIfPoolUnavailable not defined.I also tried to print debug info using CE_DEBUG=2 info but that also doesn't help

in overcoming this issue.

Is there any other way of getting rid of this issue.

Also i am trying to learn linux,if someone could help me with the following:

1.On customised dm368  evm board what are the things needed to port ipnc application.

2.If we have to implement uboot,bootloader on customised evm board.

3.Also how can we test osa,cmem,codec engine library,video capture and port ipnc application on that.

4.If the dvsdk and lsp we are using with Appro reference design we can port on our own built dm368 evm board.

also following issues in linux:

1.In which files/directory we initialize bootlog.which files i have to change in order to modify boot log.
   how to make a process run as daemon process.
2.Also about linux boot sequence,help/tutorial on linux boot sequence.
3.Major steps in bringing up the new custom evm board.
4.Things to know in order to write the bootloader.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Mayank

    Mayank,

    How are you insmod'ing cmem?  Do you know the version of cmem you are using?  One way to tell is by running

        dmesg -c

    after you insmod cmemk.ko.  You can also run

        cat /proc/cmem

    to see a list of the available pool buffers.  It looks like you don't have a pool buffer of sufficient size available.   The cmem module parameter, useHeapIfPoolUnavailable should work, unless you have an older version of cmem.  So we need to know your cmem version, and how you are insmod'ing it.

    Best regards,

        Janet

    To elimate this error, you can either increase your number of pool buffers >= 28672 in size, or use the "useHeapIfPoolUnavailable=1" option.  You say that the useHeapIfPoolUnavailable option is not recognized, which must mean that you're using an older Linux Utils release (which contains CMEM) that came out before the useHeapIfPoolUnavailable option was introduced.  Linux Utils 2.25.05.11 introduced this feature (it's in later releases too), and you can find LInux Utils downloads here: http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/linuxutils/index.html

    As for your other questions, you should open a new forum thread, as the subject of this one might cauase it to miss the radar of Linux folks that could answer your questions.

    Regards,

    How can i get rid of errors that are indicated in bold above.

    I want to know is this the defualt way of execution of av_server or it should run in some other way.Is there any guide which explains how can i get the captured image by running the av_server e.g if i choose option r:save raw data to file,will it lead to creation of any raw file,i couldn't see any such file.

     

     

     

    Thanks and Regards,

    Mayank

    I wonder how big your CMEM heap is?  The CMEM heap size is printed in a banner when you insmod (or modprobe) cmemk.ko (which may be getting accomplished automatically, during boot or by some "loadmodules.sh" type of script).

    The above error is simply caused by not having enough heap to satisfy all your heap-based CMEM allocations.  It's feeling like you're going to need to increase the amount of memory given to CMEM (through the phys_start/phys_end parameters).  When doing so, you have the option of increasing your pool buffer allocation geometry in some way, or leaving your existing pools as they are and letting the heap automatically pick up the extra memory.

    How can i get rid of errors that are indicated in bold above.

    I'm not familiar with av_server so I don't know what is causing your errors in bold, but it's possible that the CMEM allocation failure is the root cause.

    Since I'm not familiar with av_server, and since the topic of this thread doesn't mention av_server, I would suggest posting your av_server-specific questions to another forum with a topic containing "av_server".  Perhaps the Multimedia Software Codecs forum would be good.
