Building Server Package for ARM

What version of Framework Components and XDC are included in that build of the DVSDK?  (Probably in the directory name, something like framework_components_2_### and xdctools_3_###).

And to be clear, the error is from "dman3/package.xs", not "daman3/package.xs", right?

A full build log might help, too - that would likely include the versions of components I'm looking for, too.

Chris

This was an issue in the Framework Components 2.24 release, it was fixed in the 2.25.01 patch release.

A quick fix is to add the following lines in the dman3/package.xs in the validate function:-

function validate()
{

    var suffix = Program.build.target.findSuffix(this);

    if (null == suffix) {
        return (null);
    }

    if (!(suffix.match(/64P/)) && (!(suffix.match(/674/))) &&
...

Add the lines in red above, and you should be able to proceed. This issue was fixed in subsequent releases.

Thanks Chris and Gunjan for the quick response and helping me out to resolve the issue to some extent. Sorry Chris, Its typo over there its not daman3 it is dman3, but the issue that was mentioned got resolved with the update done dman3/package.xs as said by Gunjan.

But after resolving this I was stuck with one more issue...

Here is the log of the issue

Warning: incompatible use of package 'ti.bios.utils' [in /root/Desktop/gst_CIT/dvsdk_3_00_02_44/biosutils_1_01_00/packages/ti/bios/utils/]: version of the loaded package 'ti.bios.utils' is [2, 0, 1, 00], while 'ti.sdo.ce.osal.bios' [in /root/Desktop/gst_CIT/dvsdk_3_00_02_44/codec_engine_2_24/packages/ti/sdo/ce/osal/bios/] was built with 'ti.bios.utils' [2, 0, 2, 02]

The problem is I dont have utils.a470 as part of my bios package, where can I get this from?

Waiting for your response in resolving the issue.

I missed it from your original post - it looks like you're [incorrectly] providing the ARM target (470) when building your DSP-side Server.

The error msg is because the DSP-side ti.bios.utils package is being [correctly] configured into the Server, but is [also correctly] giving you an error since the 'target' being thrown at it is an ARM-side target and it doesn't have a ARM-side library.

Can you provide your full build log?  If you're building with configuro, I think you're passing the wrong value as the '-t <target>' option.

BTW, it also looks like an older BIOS Utils is being integrated - CE 2.24 was validated with BIOS Utils 1.00.02, available here:

http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/Bios_Utils/index.html

Updating to BIOS Utils 1.00.02 should remove that "incompatible" build warning.

Chris

Thanks Chris,

Warnings got resolved with latest bios_utils, but still it doesn't have utils.a470, FYI..I have selected target as 470 for creation of codec package.

This log information might be helpful for you I hope.

Hi chris,

Any update on availability of lib/utils.a470...

Can you please provide me information about Creating a DVSDK for library compiled on ARM9e...Actually the above issue I observed when trying to do the same.

Looking forward to your reply

Regards,

Gopi

Again, I think the target being provided when building your DSP Server (i.e., an _ARM_ target of 470) is incorrect.  This is specified in your config.bld file (should be small - might help posting that, too).  The fundamental problem is that you're [errantly] telling the config tooling that your target is an ARM target.  The BIOS-only BIOS Utils product [correctly] doesn't support ARM (and therefore doesn't provide an ARM library). 

Some related articles you might also find valuable:

Thanks for the reply Chris...

My intention is to run the library that was built for ARM9e, I dont have a DSP library at all. I just want to test my ARM side libray using DVSDK framework and DVTB...

I have changed the config.bld for same ...Please find the details of config.bld below...

/*
 *  ======== config.bld ========
 * User note: YOU MUST MODIFY THIS FILE TO SPECIFY THE COMPILER TOOL PATHS.
 *
 * Edit this file to specify compiler toolchain paths, and any custom
 * compiler/linker options.
 */

/* location of your C6000 codegen tools */
var TMS470 = xdc.useModule('ti.targets.TMS470');

/* location of your CG tools */
TMS470.rootDir="/root/Desktop/gst_CIT/dvsdk_3_00_02_44/TMS470CGT4.6.2";
TMS470.platform = "ti.platforms.evm3530";

/*
 *  ======== Build.targets ========
 * list of targets (ISAs + compilers) to build for
 */
Build.targets = [
    TMS470,
];

I hope this may be clear for you now, what I was trying to do...

Waiting for your reply...

Gopi

Thank Chris, Thanks a lot for your support and response which was more useful for me and I could able to finally resolve and my sort out my issues based on the Codec Engine examples....
