Appro 2A won't work at 2012/01/01 or after,

Yes!

TI 2A is work for 2012

Hi Raghu,

I am also facing some issues with running IPNC software that came with Appro ref design when we bought it in Aug 2011.

1.I am trying to see the live camera capture and display but av_server application hangs in between.

 From the log it seems that Appro 2A is the issue whose license has expired.

2.Above post suggests that you provide v2.6 IPNC RDK.How can i get this piece of software and integrate it with IPNC application.

  Will the results be same as previously happening with Appro 2.60.01.

3.Also i tried running the av_server by enabling TI 2A but doesn't seem to be of any help.

4.We are solely relying on Appro software for our prototype version and any inherent issues related to licensing/performance/quality(like the one above)

  will land us in serious trouble.If apprp software is feasible for final product then only we will go ahead with it.

5.Also we faced latency issues in which whole latency of real time capture by camera and display at web browser was exceeding 1 s.

6.Also earlier in we could see the live video display of the ipnc camera getting broken at the bottom.

Please help us in solving the above issues.

Regards,

Mayank

Can you please use Version 3.0.0 of the IPNC RDK release, but this is for Aptina MT9P031 sensor

This will have Appro 2A which is still evaluation mode with extended expiry date

For latency related issue, can you please use the attached file to fix the pooling time in RTSP timestamp

Regards,

Raghu

Hi,

DM368IPNC board that i am currently using has IMX036 sensor so i think i cannot use IPNC RDK 3.0.0.

Also i am getting the following boot log when i am booting the board with original Appro kernel and fs image.

After that it hangs and there is not o/p and no application run in daemon

so that i can see the live video captured by the camera on web browser.

I am using the original Appro ref design anf also the original Appro binaries

so there is no question of altering the settings in the code or elsewhere.

Any help how can i solve the above issue

Mayank

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

This is the peculiar problem with DM368IPNC-IMX036 we purchased from
Appro.In the attached images for H.264 and MPEG4 D1 resolution please
find that the image is breaking in the bottom and this break is very
much visible as you clearly observe the edges of chair moving in front
of the camera.
This issue is only happening in H.264 D1 and MPEG4 D1 resolutions.


Is it possible to set some settings so that this issue doesn't recur
later in future.

Thanks and Regards,
Mayank

Mayank,

Some issue with your resizer clock div, please slow down the clock from M=10 and N =80 or even lower the speed

Regards,

Raghu

Hi Raghu,

Thanks for your mail.I tried changing the resizer clock in DRV_reszRun function by modifying the following lines:

    if(prm.clkDivM==0 || prm.clkDivN==0) {

    gDRV_reszObj.ipipeifClk.clkDivM       = 5;//Mayank //10
    gDRV_reszObj.ipipeifClk.clkDivN       = 40;//80

  } else {

      gDRV_reszObj.ipipeifClk.clkDivM       = 5;// prm.clkDivM;
      gDRV_reszObj.ipipeifClk.clkDivN       = 40;//prm.clkDivN;
  }

but even after doing that i am getting the same issue and now i am getting the image tearing in H.264 1280*720 resolution

Do i have to make some other changes elsewhere.I could not understand this resizer clock issue.Could you please explain a bit

how the resizer helps in maintaining the synchronized data between vpfe and vpbe.

also another issue that i am facing if i flash my own uimage and mount fs using nand.In the web browser if i click any option i.e camera settings

it  displays the message "Internet explorer stops working" and ipnc web browser has to be restarted again.This issue doesn't come if we work on original appro image.

Is it an ActiveX issue.

In the log i see something like this:

+++ BOA: Call GetEngCfgMsg.                                                     
queue id:32769

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

Can you keep M=10 and keep varying N=50,60,70,80 ... and check the result you get.

Basically, you need to slow down the resizer to avoid the overwrite of buffers.

Also, please dump the registers of IPIPEIF and check if clkdivM:N is getting programmed correctly.

For BOA, can you check in wireshark, what could be the issue and debug the network messages

Regards,

Raghu

Hi Raghu,

Thanks for your mail.The default mode of running is ISIF_IN.In this mode the Resizer clock M and N values are configured in

UI_setconfig function as follows:

  if(platform==PLATFORM_DM368)
      config->resizerClkdivN = gAVSERVER_UI_config.vsEnable ? 60:70;
  else
  config->resizerClkdivN     = 50;

Also in DRV_ipipeRszSetParams function clk M and N values are configured as default in following way.

  gDRV_ipipeObj.ipipeifClk.clkDivM       = 0;
  gDRV_ipipeObj.ipipeifClk.clkDivN       = 0;

At  both these places i tried setting the M value as 10 and then varying the N value b/w 30,40..100

But i could not see any change in image tearing condition.I think it is not taking any effect.

Also i was able to take the dump of 21 registers of IPIPEIF which is as follows:

 0x01c71200: 00000000   IPIPE I/F Enable register
 0x01c71204: 00000000   IPIPE I/F Configu register

 0x01c7124c: 00000000
 0x01c7120:  00000fff

clock div register(in bold) the value is coming to be 2403 which is equal to M/N*VPSS clock rate.

For DDR_IN mode i am configuring the clkM and clkN values in DRV_reszRun function.

I think this mode is automatically enabled if we enable any algorithm like VS,etc.

in which case i could not see any image tearing condition.

Could you suggest anything to overcome this issue which is appearing in all codecs (D1 mode)

very prominently.

Thanks and Regards,

Mayank

Hi all,

Still trying to debug this issue.I think the issue is the buffer overlap between capture->resizer->display.

In ISIF mode data goes like ISIF->IPIPE+RSZ->DDR.So in VIDEO_captureTskRunIsifIn function it calls first.

DRV_ipipeGetRszBuf to get the resizer buffer and then it calls DRV_ipipeGetRszBufInfo to get resizer buffer info.

After this function i am trying to capture the image like this:

   count++;
        if(count>1) {
      static char filename[80];
      if(count%100==0) {
        sprintf(filename, "AFTER_CAPTURE_IMAGE_%04d_%dx%d.YUV", count,   pBufInfo->width,pBufInfo->height);
        OSA_fileWriteFile(filename, pBufInfo->virtAddr,   pBufInfo->width*pBufInfo->height*2);
      }
    }

I think this is the image which we capture,please verify

For D1 resolution the width and height is coming to be 736*512,this is 16 more in horz and 32 more in vertical direction.

Also in the dumped image i am getting the frames overlap horizontally.

Also i am trying to get the displayed image by calling the below code above DRV_framecopy.I hope this image is which we get in display.

Please verify if my understanding is correct.

  if(count>1) {
      static char filename[80];

      if(count%100==0) {
        sprintf(filename, "DUMPIMG_%04d_%dx%d.YUV", count, pBufHeader->width,pBufHeader->height);
        OSA_fileWriteFile(filename, pBufInfo->virtAddr,720*pBufHeader->height*2);
      }
    }

I am trying to find out cause for the occuring of Image tearing issue.

Also if could suggest some alternative approach to solve image tearing issue.

Thanks and Regards,

Mayank
