RDK DVRRDK_03.50.00.05 mcfw demo not working with DM8107 UD DVR

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM8107

Hi,

We am trying to run decode-display mcfw demo of DVRRDK_03.50.00.05 on DM8107 UD DVR.

But it stops after displaying message "DISPLAY: Start in progress !!!". It doesn't show any errors.

console log file is attached herewith.

Are we missing anything over here ?

Regards,

shashank.

  • Hello

    Did you do the following modifications in Rules.make 

    ifeq ($(DVR_RDK_BOARD_TYPE ), )
    DVR_RDK_BOARD_TYPE := DM816X_UD_DVR
    endif

    # DVR Qt GUI Application tools
    ifeq ($(DVR_RDK_BOARD_TYPE),DM810X_UD_DVR)
    #dvrapp_PATH := $(dvr_rdk_PATH)/dvrapp/ti810x
    dvrapp_PATH := $(dvr_rdk_PATH)/dvrapp/ti810x_nvr
    endif

    and

    ifeq ($(LINUX_MEM),)
    # LINUX_MEM := LINUX_MEM_64M
    # LINUX_MEM := LINUX_MEM_128M
    LINUX_MEM := LINUX_MEM_192M
    # LINUX_MEM := LINUX_MEM_256M
    endif

    regards, shiju

  • Sorry i did not ask which demo you are running?

    Are you trying 4ch D1 DVR or 16ch CIF DVR or NVR? 

    The last two modifications in the first post is required only for NVR

    regards, shiju

  • Hi shiju,

    Thanks for the reply.

    we are trying to play decode-display demo from mcfw_api_demos of RDK "DVRRDK_03.50.00.05" on 8107 DVR provided from UD works. you can verify same from log file we attached in previous post.

    we are not trying NVR demo.

    we have modified the Rule.make file for following single change,

    ifeq ($(DVR_RDK_BOARD_TYPE ), )
    #  DVR_RDK_BOARD_TYPE := DM816X_TI_EVM
      DVR_RDK_BOARD_TYPE := DM810X_UD_DVR
    endif

    Are we missing anything else?

    Thanks,

    shashank.

  • Yes, that is only the changes required

    Can you share the bootargs and bootcmd with us?

    regards, shiju

  • Hi shiju,

    we are using following bootcmd,

    dhcp;setenv bootargs mem=128M console=ttyO0,115200n8 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.99.18.216:/home/shashank/shashankp/RDK/DVRRDK_03.50.00.05/target/rfs_810x ip=dhcp vram=20M notifyk.vpssm3_sva=0xBFFD0000 i2c_bus=3,400 ddr_mem=512M;tftpboot 10.99.18.216:uImage_DM810X_UD_DVR;bootm

    Regards,

    shashank.

  • I have verified the 8107 decode & display demo again just now with GA3.5 RDK, its working fine

    try to use the below bootcmd and bootargs

    setenv bootcmd 'dhcp;tftp 81000000 uImage_DM810X_UD_DVR;bootm'
    setenv bootargs 'mem=128M console=ttyO0,115200n8 noinitrd root=/dev/nfs 5 nfsroot=10.99.18.216:/home/shashank/shashankp/RDK/DVRRDK_03.50.00.05/target/rfs_810x, rw ip=dhcp vram=20M notifyk.vpssm3_sva=0xBFFD0000 i2c_bus=3,400 ddr_mem=512M'

    I think you use the uboot and kernel from GA3.5 only, right?  if not please build and use, instuctions to build and flash are mentioned in intall guide. The DVR box would have some old uboot flashed originally

    BTW, what is the 8107 DVR board version that you use?

    regards., shiju

  • Thanks shiju,

    The problem was due to u-boot. we used u-boot of GA3.5 RDK & now the demo is working fine.

    BTW, we are using DM8107 DVRRD Rev0.2B.

    Thanks,

    shashank.
