problem about dm8168 dvrrdk build config parms

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TVP5158

Hi all

I use dm8168 EVM board+ VS child board,

then in /dvrrdk/rules.make

# Board type can be one of the following
#    1. DM816X_DVR
#    2. DM816X_EVM
#    3. DM814X_EVM
#    4. DM810X_EVM
#    5. DM810X_DVR

which board type i have to choose then,

followed install guide i set board type in follow type

ifeq ($(DVR_RDK_BOARD_TYPE ), )
  DVR_RDK_BOARD_TYPE := DM816X_EVM
endif

and now i found some others using DM816X_DVR for evm board, and it runs ok!

So what is the differences between this two choice ?

Is it no business with hardware  ?

best regards

  • Hi,

     

    this depends on the board you have, if you have DM816x EVM, select the DM816x_EVM here, if you have DM816x reference DVR board, you need to select DM816x_DVR. There are differences in these two board, like I2C address are different for decoder/encoder devices.

     

    Thanks,

  • The TVP5158 addresses are different between EVM and DVR board so if you run binaries built for DVR on EVM you will find capture working only for 8 channels .The decode display demo will work. You have to specifically build the binaries for EVM for full functionality
