How to use slog in omx demos?

Lei Wong

Hi everyone ,

I am using EZSDK_5.02.02.60, and the omx version is 05_02_00_15.

I want to use slog to debug my omx program.

I followed the steps from this page --> http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Using_slog_in_EZSDK

Step1: Each module (domx, ldrmemcfg (DCMM), etc...) defines a flag (USE_SLOG_PRINT) which needs to be enabled, by default this flag is USE_SLOG_PRINT=0

To enable this open makefile in appropriate module and set this slag to 1

Ex: $(OMX_ROOT)/packages/ti/omx/domx/makefile

But in the makefile, is said USE_SLOG_PRINT is forced to 0.

Line 41: #Note: USE_SLOG_PRINT=0 is forced. No other value should be used.

Line 42: ifeq ($(CORE),a8host)

Line 43: CFLAGS_LOCAL_a8host += -D_LOCAL_CORE_a8host_ -DUSE_SLOG_PRINT=0

If I set it to 1, errors occur when making omx.

So, how to get the debug messages? loggerSMDump?

Regards,

Lei

There's no need to use SLOG for getting logs from A8 side of the OMX. Instead, can you do the following modification to get logs?

In packages\ti\omx\domx\domx_util.h, in the following part of the code (towards end of file) enables LINUX logging

#ifndef __ti__
//#define ENABLE_LINUX_LOGGING <=== Uncomment this line.
#ifdef ENABLE_LINUX_LOGGING
#define Log_print0(x,y) printf(y);printf("\n")
#define Log_print1(x,y,z1) printf(y,z1);printf("\n")
#define Log_print2(x,y,z1,z2) printf(y,z1,z2);printf("\n")
#define Log_print3(x,y,z1,z2,z3) printf(y,z1,z2,z3);printf("\n")
#define Log_print4(x,y,z1,z2,z3,z4) printf(y,z1,z2,z3,z4);printf("\n")
#define Log_print5(x,y,z1,z2,z3,z4,z5) printf(y,z1,z2,z3,z4,z5);printf("\n")
#define Log_print6(x,y,z1,z2,z3,z4,z5,z6) printf(y,z1,z2,z3,z4,z5,z6);printf("\n")
#endif
#endif
