var osalGlobal = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.ce.osal.Global') confict with semaphore and mailbox

Hello,

Can you tell me the versions of the software components (like BIOS) you're using? Can you explain the problem in a little more detail? What errors are you seeing?

Thanks,

Whitney

The BIOS version is 5.31, and my program has two tasks, one is used to get picture from VPFE driver and the second task is used to send message to PC by TCP. I used Semaphore to synchronization. Everything is ok before I add:

var osalGlobal = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.ce.osal.Global') .

in .cfg file. Then the program will run away while running in some time. The version of Codec Engine is 1.20.

Besides, it always has such trouble that:

Trouble Halting target Cpu: Error 0x00000020/-1060. Error during: Exception ,  An unknown prevented the emulator from accessing the processor in a timely fashion.

Then I have to disconnect the emulator. I use EVMDM6437 and DVSDK 1.10. Thank you.

Could you share some .c code and your cfg file ?

I don't understand what you mean when you say "everything is okay" before you add:-

var osalGlobal = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.ce.osal.Global') .

Why do you need to add that line of code  if everything is working fine ? 

Because I use Codec Engine to encode the picture, I have to use

var osalGlobal = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.ce.osal.Global') .

to configure Codec Engine.

I set a break point in hwi1, and reference to B3 , the address is 0x842c5038, and the dissamble as follow:

I used ccs3.3 and dsp/bios 5.31.08, codec engine 1.20.02, Besides, if I open KOV, CCS3.3 will crash.http://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/355/3566.video_5F00_codec_5F00_example1.7z

Could you attach again as a .zip file ? I was unable to open it. I need more information on what you are running before I can provide advice. I would like to look at your source code and configuration file (please attach again).

Were you able to build and run any of the codec engine examples on your board and CCS ?
