Error in VICP in Linux SPRC847.GZ

Hello, I have a strange problem, I have tried to download the Video Imaging Co-Processor (VICP) Signal Processing Library for linux SPRC847.GZ, but I always get an error in Mozilla, There appears a new page with symbols, I was thinking that It was a bug in my Mozilla, and I just had to right click then save as... but when I tried it. I am just able to download a file with about 4.3MB called sprc847f.gz.html. then I change the extension to sprc847f.gz but when I extract it, I only get a new file called sprc84f but no more I don't know what's wrong..

I have gzip and tar in my linux machine installed and it works ok for others files, I hadn't ever this problem before, I tried yesterday downloading the file with Other Web browsers and the same thing,

Thx for your help

PS. Can I use the Windows version for my linux instalation? because I downloaded it and installed and I got a folder vicplib_v330

  • I just tried this myself using Internet Explorer,

    1) I get a file named "sprc847f.gz" with a size of  "4.26 MB (4,470,742 bytes)"  as provided by Windows properties.

    2) then I transferred this file to my Linux host machine and used "tar -xzf sprc847f.gz" to untar file as suggested in the download page

    3) I get vicplib-3.3-Setup.bin file which is the binary installation file

    I suspect the html file you have may be a bit different.  Not being familiar enough with VICPlib, I would not recommend using the Windows version in Linux.  Is there a way you can download this in a different machine and browser and transfer the file over to your Linux host?

  • I tried with Windows IE to download the file and I get this

     

    Your file is  "sprc847f.gz" with a size of  "4.26 MB (4,470,742 bytes)" , but mine is different as you can see up(4,472,832 bytes), I try downloading a few times and I get the same

    when I use linux to extract it. I recived this:

     

     

     

    I will really glad if  you could email me the bin file please, I'm getting crazy, this is so frustrating... Thank you Mr Gonzales

  • Unfortunately, due to export control compliance laws I cannot simply post the bin file or e-mail to you directly.  Can you please submit your request via www.ti.com/support and place it to my attention?  Also, include a link to this forum thread for reference.

     

  • Ok Mr Gonzales I understand you. anyway at last I could do it.
    Well my solution was a simple command in linux
    WGET

    wget http://focus.ti.com/lit/sw/sprc847f/sprc847f.gz
    tar -xzf sprc847.gz

    when I make in this way I get the vicplib-3.3-Setup.bin

    Thanks
