Ducati for Jelly Bean board with 512M of RAM

Steve,

I have reproduced the same, and I am investigating.

Hi!

When building the firmware as described in http://omappedia.org/wiki/RPMsg_BIOS_Sources, a ducati-m3.512MB.bin is generated (at least when using the 1.20 branch of
http://git.omapzoom.org/?p=repo/sysbios-rpmsg.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/rpmsg-1.20).
(However, without multimedia extensions...As a side question: How to include them into the firmware? The wiki says
[..]MFP tools are packaged as tarballs. Please untar them in the same folder as the other tools. (Optional step, required for MM) [..] but lacks further explanatory notes.

It would be nice, if both binaries where included at the provided ducati_blaze_tablet.tgz/ducati_full_blaze.tgz archives.

Steve, Hans,

Sorry for the delay.  Just an update that we are modifying our release procedure to include the 512MB Ducati binary in the Ducati archives on git.omapzoom.org going forward.  I should have the binaries for the 4AJ.1.1 release shortly to post for you.

Hi Gina,

many thanks for this good news!

If it makes no trouble, can you please look also at my side question?

Best reards!

Hi Hans,

I am a little unclear on your question.  What is the "them" that you are referring to?  ("How to include them into the firmware?")  The Ducati source code is not available publicly.  You would need to contact your TI representative and work out the license agreements in order to get access to the Ducati source code to build the full Ducati binary with multimedia / codec support.

Hi Gina,

thanks for your answer. When reading the wiki page "RPMsg BIOS Sources" one may think,
that it is possible to build a customized ducati image and include the multimedia extensions within this customized binary.
Maybe I misunderstood the wiki page.

Thanks and best regards,
Hans

Hans, Steve,

I have attached a tarball that includes the 512MB Ducati binary that can be used with Blaze Tablet on the 4AJ.1.1 release.  As I mentioned, our release team is going to include these binaries in the Android manifest for the releases going forward, so hopefully this will no longer be an issue.  

Hans,

You would still need to go through your TI representative and have the license agreements in place in order to get access to the Ducati source code to build the full Ducati binary with multimedia / codec support.

Hi!

Any news on this topic?
The reviews are in status "Review in Progress" since then. No changes up to now.
It would be nice, if they where applied to omapzoom git repository.

Thanks!

Hans,

Unfortunately the 512MB support is no longer planned for the Jellybean releases, so these patches won't be included in the release tree.

Regards,
Gina
