Jacinto 6 Vayu EVM + Android 4.4.2 + Opencv Manager

Hello,

Device : Vayu EVM xc5777x 

OS : Successfully flashed pre-built image (Android 4.4.2) and Installed opencv manager (OpenCV_2.4.9_Manager_2.18_armv7a-neon.apk)

Problem: "Hardware not detected" on opencv manager apk.

-Can anybody suggest solution/ alternates regarding this issue ?

  • Hi Sriram,


    I checked this apk (OpenCV_2.4.9_Manager_2.18_armv7a-neon.apk) on two TI platforms: Vayu EVM & OMAP4470 Blaze board. Both platforms use the same GPU, however the IPU is different Vayu uses Cortex M4, while OMAP4470 uses  Cortex M3.

    I found out that this OpenCV apk works on Blaze board & reports "Hardware not detected" on Vayu EVM. Therefore in my opinion there is no OpenCV for the newer TI boards (Vayu boards) yet. If you want to port OpenCV on Vayu you will need to modify its sources & rebuild it.
    I am not an expert on OpenCV, but maybe you need to add some silicon identification... you will get better answer to this from opencv.org support. 

    You can also check git.ti.com, to see if there is already some effort on porting OpenCV on Jacinto EVM.

    Best Regards,

  • Hi Yordan,


    Thanks for the reply and information. We will try to work out opencv with Linux instead of Android on Vayu EVM.
