Hello,

for our current project we need to decode and display up to 4 h.264 streams on a monitor.

So I tried to init more than 1 "h264dec" decoder, but the second decoder init fails with this message:

@0,550,360us: [+6 T:0x4001db60 S:0xbedca96c] CE - Engine_createNode> Remote node creation FAILED (0x80008008).

A simple test program for loading 2 deocders:

Output with "export CE_DEBUG=3":

cmemk was loaded with this command:

modprobe cmemk allowOverlap=1 phys_start=0x85000000 phys_end=0x86800000 pools=15x4096,5x368640,8x829440,2x52500
00,4x1572864,2x256000

Is it possible lo load more than one h.264 video decoder?

What have I done wrong?

Thanks

Hi Sandro,

Are you using DVSDK or some other OS and could you specify which Kernel version you are using?

Hello Tsvetolin,

I use an Angstrom Linux with Kernel 2.6.32 (linux-omap-psp_2.6.32).

I use these TI related packages:

ti-c6accel_1_01_00_03-r103c.9
ti-cgt6x_6_1_17-r4.9
ti-cmem-module_2_26_01_02-r103d.9
ti-codec-engine_2_26_01_09-r103a.9
ti-codecs-omap3530_4_00_00_00-r103b.9
ti-dmai_2_10_00_01+svnr570-r103p.9
ti-dspbios_5_41_07_24-r1.9
ti-dsplink_1_65_00_03-r103i.9
ti-edma3lld_01_11_00_03-r1.9
ti-framework-components_2_25_03_07-r1.9
ti-linuxutils_2_26_01_02-r103d.9

ti-xdais_6_26_00_02-r1.9
ti-xdctools_3_20_06_81-r2.9

This is my kernel command line:

console=tty0 console=ttyS2,115200n8 camera=tvp5146 mem=80M@0x80000000 mem=384M@0x88000000 noinitrd rw mpurate=1000 buddy=none vram=16M omapfb.mode=dvi:800x600MR-32@50 omapdss.def_disp=dvi ip=10.0.0.55:10.0.0.152::255.0.0.0::: root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.0.0.152:/home/stiller/development/OMAP/root/XM,nolock rootdelay=3

Any idea?

Is it generally possible to load more than one decoder?

Thanks,

Sandro

I found this thread:

http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/davinci_digital_media_processors/f/99/p/119376/428918.aspx#428918

and I think, there is a problem with DDRALGHEAP., It's set to 9MBytes what seems to be not enough for more than one h264dec.

This is the content of my .cfg file:

/* Enable debug messages */
var GT = xdc.useModule("ti.sdo.utils.trace.GT");
var GTINFRA = xdc.useModule("ti.sdo.fc.utils.gtinfra.GTINFRA");
GTINFRA.runtimeEnv = GTINFRA.NONE;
GT.MALLOCFXN = "myMalloc";
GT.PRINTFXN = "printfCaller";

xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.fc.global.Settings').profile = "debug_trace";

/* Load the Codec Engine 'Operating System Abstraction Layer' */
var osalGlobal = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.ce.osal.Global');

var os = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.ce.osal.linux.Settings');
osalGlobal.os = os;

/* Configure CE to use it's DSP Link Linux version */
var ipc = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.ce.ipc.Settings');
ipc.commType = ipc.COMM_DSPLINK;

/*
* ======== Engine Configuration ========
*/
var Engine = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.ce.Engine');
var demoEngine = Engine.createFromServer(
    "codecServer",
    "./bin/cs.x64P",
    "ti.sdo.server.cs"
    );

var combopath = "" + java.lang.System.getenv("CODEC_SERVER");
if (combopath != "" && combopath != "null") {
    demoEngine.server = java.lang.System.getenv("CODEC_SERVER");
}

/* Load support for the DMAI module */
var DMAI = xdc.loadPackage('ti.sdo.dmai');

var SCPY = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.fc.scpy.SCPY');
var SDMA = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.linuxutils.sdma.SDMA');

I'm not really versed with this cfg, but I think, the size of DDRALGHEAP can be changed here, right?

How can I do it?

Thank you

Sandro
