OMX - build release

Alla
Expert 1100 points

Hello all,

I want to build in release mode the VLPB OMX example  (ARM+DSP code). Does anyone know which files should I change in order to do that?

Thanks.

    Alla,

    Please look at makerules/rules_c764.mk. This has option for debug and whole_program_debug (similar to release). PROFILE_core=debug/whole_program_debug can be given while building.

    Regards

    Vimal,

    Thank you for your answer. Does it mean that I can't compile in release mode? What are the differences between the two modes?

    I changed the PROFILE_core = whole_program_debug in rules_c674.mk file, but this compilation fails with errors. There are additional changes that should be done?

    Thanks.

    Alla,

    whole_program_debug is more optimized version then just release. If you see compile erros, these could be some limitation in those files. Please pass on the erros, we can check with tools team.

    Vimal,

    To be precise I changed the PROFILE_c6xdsp to whole_program_debug in makerules/build_config.mk file. 

    You can see the compilation errors in attached file.

    Alla,

    I could reproduce the same. Unfortunately I do not have immediate solution for this. ( I could get past this issue, but later it stuck in another one) so multiple changes might be required. Untill we resolve this, You can use putting -O3 in compiler flags, that is highest optimizer level in dsp. This would give you performance boost what you might be expecting from release.

    Regards

    Vimal

    Alla,

    Apologies for late response..As I suggested earlier -O3 will give you almost all the optimization, you expect with release profile. Do you see any issue with that. With next SDK, we will be migrating to different tools version. We will try release profile with  that.

    Regards
