building CE 3.23.00.07 examples

Gaston,
it seems you didn't set up the path for TI Arm compiler. It's not being set in product.mak, and unless you are setting it somewhere else, that's most likely cause of the error.

Sasha,

I've already set the TI Arm compiler path in the products.mak. The variables were set as follows:

CGTOOLS_V5T = ${HOME}/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite
CC_V5T      = bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc

Regards,
gaston

I am talking about this line in product.mak:
ti.targets.arm.elf.M3 =

The lines you quoted are setting the GCC Arm compiler. I am not familiar with CE enough to know why you need both compilers, but apparently you need to set them both. 

I thought you must set this variable if you want to build a server for the M3. At least It was not necessary to set in previous versions of CE (e.g, 3.22.xx.xx) where the server could be built for the A8 or C674x (in a dm816x platform).

Sasha Slijepcevic said:

apparently you need to set them both. 

Yes, so it seems. I wonder if there is an option to override it. If not, where can I get the compiler for the M3 target?

gaston

Gaston,

This is a bug in the Codec Engine 3.23.00.07 release. We updated the examples to be template based, but overlooked the EZSDK examples. The new examples are trying to build for M3 but since you are using an EZSDK, the examples should not be doing this.

You will have to extract the ex01_universalcopy_remote.zip, edit the top-level makefile, and remove references to video and vpss. Then try building again.

You should not need a TI ARM compiler when using the EZSDK; only the TI C6X compiler and the GNU ARM compiler.

Ramsey,

Thanks for guessing that I was using EZSDK so I had not said it at the beginning :-) I've tried to build the examples by removing suggested references but I get another error:

I've also tried to remove video references from the ex01_universalcopy_bios_video top-level makefile with no success.
This is a non-critical issue. Should I wait for a new CE version which I can use from the EZSDK?

How can Gaston be using the codec engine that came with the EZSDK when EZSDK 5.04.00.11 came with codec engine 3.22.01.06 as did the newest EZSDK 5.05.01.04?  :-S

The version of codec engine that Gaston is using is version 3.23.00.07 which is the latest available codec engine but isn't part of the EZSDK unless he has some special internal release:

http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/ce/index.html

I too am having trouble with building the examples from codec engine so if you can give me a hand I'd be grateful.

Hi Ralph,

I thought latest EZSDK 5.05.01.04 came with latest CE 3.23.00.07 but apparently not. I've been using EZSDK 5.04.00.11 and CE 3.22.01.06 successfully and I wanted to test the CE 3.23.00.07 just coping the whole product into the EZSDK path, so I have used no special internal release in this case.

Regards,
gaston

Well, I'm having trouble building the example applications in the latest codec engine too. Looks like I'll be porting the apps from the EZSDK codec engine into the most recent codec engine which I'm trying to get working, starting with the source code.

Regards,

Ralph

Ralph,

There is a file, examples.inc, that is included by the examples makefile.  This file lists the examples to build for the specific platforms.  You should be able to edit examples.inc and just comment out the examples you don't want to build (eg, the video and vpss ones).

Best regards,

    Janet

Hi Janet, I tried that but it doesn't get far enough down the list of examples for that to cause a problem. The ex01_universalcopy_remote example fails to build unfortunately. I'm trying to pursue this on another thread so hopefully it will get solved there.

Thanks.
