Hello, I'm developing DSP side with TI DVRRDK 3.5 (DM8168)

As McFW Platform loading DMVAL and VLIB libraries by default.

( \dvr_rdk\makerules\rules_c674.mk file loads analytics.ae674 and vlib.ae674)

I think DMVAL using analytics.ae674 and vlib.ae674.

So I added

#include <VLIB_prototypes.h>

in "scdLink_alg.c" to using VLIB function in my custom code.

when I add this code,

VLIB_packMask32(fg, (unsigned int*)bin32bitPFGMask, ImgSz);

compile ok.

but I add more function like this,

VLIB_createConnectedComponentsList(handle, ImgWidth, ImgHeight, (int*)bin32bitPFGMask, MINBLOBAREA, 1);

build error occurred.

Here build logs.

I guess analytics.ae674 and vlib.ae674 declare same global variables some functions.

(I can not find this variables in VLIB_prototypes.h)

How can i avoid this error..?

Thank you.

Hi,

I think it is coming due to flag “scan_libraries”, please search for this flag in your make file. You can remove this flag to avoid this problem.

Ideally you should use this option because it can highlight the multiple definitions. Without this, the linker will pick up the first definition it sees.

Above solution of removing “scan_libraries” is not the right way but a quick solution. We need to check and fix this.

Hi, Ritesh

I meeting the same with Daffiko,but I use the DVRRDK 3.0. According to you suggestion， I can remove the scan_libraries flag . I have checked all the files in DVRRDK 3.0, but I have not found which file contains “scan_libraries”. Can you tell me which file？？or How to solve the problems？

Another question，what differences between vlib_elf.le64p（in VLIB2.2）and vlib.ae674 、analytics.ae674 files in DVRRDK？？

Thanks in advance.

In RDK code we release two libraries vlib.ae674 and analytics.ae674. Former one is VLIB library (i.e optimized DSP kernels) and later one is analytics library.

vlib_elf.le64p and vlib.ae674 libraries are same ELF format library. You dont have to include both of them.

hi Ritesh,

I have several question

Q1. I have not found which file contains “scan_libraries”. Can you tell me which file?

Q2. Since there's built-in vlib.ae674, is there any user guide for usage?

0 Ritesh Rajore over 12 years ago in reply to 1330hayacool7102

TI__Expert 3065 points

We need to relook solution related to multiple definition. We don't have scan_libraries as compile time option in RDK. I was in impression that you might have added in your custom project.

vlib.ae674 is same as VLib elf format. Same instruction are applicable as that of VLIB 2.2

Thanks for your reply. But the refined problems have not solved. Could you give me some suggestions?

I am using DVRRDK 3.0 with DM8168EVM.

0 Ritesh Rajore over 12 years ago in reply to Junqing Zhao

TI__Expert 3065 points

Thanks.

I have two questions:

1. Are you seeing this problem for the symbols that are used in your custom code/algorithms? E.g. do you use minArea in your code ?

2. Did you verify compile options and checked if --scan_libraries and/or -scanlibs are not enabled by default?

0 Ritesh Rajore over 12 years ago in reply to Ritesh Rajore

TI__Expert 3065 points

Any updates?

We are planning to fix this issue in DVR-RDK 04.0 release.

I'm having the same problem. I checked all of my files and don't find --scan_libraries and/or -scanlibs. Other suggestion or recommendation?

0 Ritesh Rajore over 12 years ago in reply to Christiano Belli

TI__Expert 3065 points

This is an issue. We have fixed this in our latest release v4.0 which is now available.

hi Daffiko :

i have dvr_rdk_3.5, DM8168,vlib3.0, and I added

#include <VLIB_prototypes.h> in "scdLink_alg.c" to using VLIB function in my custom code.

but compile error ,do not have VLIB_prototypes.h .

And I used "find ./ | xargs grep -rH "VLIB" ",develop kit don't have this file .

can you tell me how to do.
