WinEC 7 AM35x TI codecs missing in image

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3517

Hi,

I found all the TI codecs in the path C:\WINCE700\3rdParty\dvsdk_wince_01_11_00_02\.

In my image I have checked all the components

 

But I don't have any files in my image (e.g. H264VideoDecoder.dll is missing). Why?

Best regards,

Andreas

  • Hi,

    I noticed, that I need to add DVSDK as Subproject to my platform builder project to add the neccessary *.dll's to the release image. But now I get the following error message if I play an avi video with H264 codec:

    I have add the following components to my image:

    At the moment I'm not sure, if the codecs are supported by the AM3517?

  • The issue you are running into is related to the AM35X processor.  AM35X does not include a DSP so it can not use the DVSDK functionality.

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAP35x_to_AM35x_Software_Migration_Guide

  • So there is no MPEG-4 or H264 codec for AM35x available. Is this correct?

    Where can I get codecs for WinEC 7 and AM35x which also support NEON?

  • The is correct there is no hardware codes for the AM35X.

    In WEC7 Microsoft does provide software codecs and could be enabled for WEC7.
