DM8165 issue

I used RDK V4.0.0.3 on DM8168 before, now I migrate to DM8165. How to modify to suport DM8165? Thanks.

  • Hi Colin,

    DM8168 and DM8165 are fully software and pin compatible devices. We have common EZSDK for all DM816x devices, thus I expect the same is valid for DVR RDK.

    See also the below e2e thread:

  • the difference is the quantity of HDVICPs.

    Just make sure the encode/decode performance  doesnt exceed the DM8165's performance.

  • Hi Colin,

    Below changes needs to be done in RDK to support DM8165.

    1)dvr_rdk/mcfw/interfaces/common_def/ti_vsys_common_def.h

         -- #define VSYS_MAX_NUMHDVICP (3)

        ++ #define VSYS_MAX_NUMHDVICP (2)

    2)dvr_rdk/mcfw/src_bios6/links_m3video/codec_utils/utils_encdec.h

         -- #define NUM_HDVICP_RESOURCES (3)

        ++ #define NUM_HDVICP_RESOURCES (2)

    3)dvr_rdk/mcfw/src_bios6/links_m3video/codec_utils/utils_encdec_prf.h

         --  #define UTILS_ENCDEC_MAXNUMOFHDVICP2_RESOUCES (3)

        ++ #define UTILS_ENCDEC_MAXNUMOFHDVICP2_RESOUCES (2)

    4)dvr_rdk/mcfw/src_bios6/links_m3video/codec_utils/src/hdvicp2_soc_config.h

         --  #define HDVICP_NUM_RESOURCES (3)

        ++ #define HDVICP_NUM_RESOURCES (2)

    5)dvr_rdk/mcfw/src_bios6/links_m3video/codec_utils/src/iresman_hdvicp2_fwif.c

        comment the definition of IRESMAN_HDVICP2_ISR2() api.

    6)dvr_rdk/mcfw/src_bios6/links_m3video/codec_utils/src/utils_encdec.c

        channel allocation should be change i.e make sure no channel should map to IVAHD3.

    7) make sure no channel should map to IVAHD3 in all the use-case files available in /dvr_rdk/mcfw/src_linux/mcfw_api/usecases/.

    Thanks&Regards,
