HEVC codec GOP param question

Welcome to the TI E2E forum. I hope you will find many good answers here and in the TI.com documents and in the TI Wiki Pages (for processor issues). Be sure to search those for helpful information and to browse for the questions others may have asked on similar topics (e2e.ti.com). Please read all the links below my signature.

Please provide the DSP and software package used.

We will get back to you on the above query shortly. Thank you for your patience.

Hi,

Can you please send the config file you are using to encode the stream.

Thanks and Regards,
Palachandra M V

thank you~~

here is my config file, mosts of params are default in codec project.

In GOP realated INFO,  if gopCntrlParamPreset is 0, I can run the project, and the handle returned by H265VENC_create function is OK;

if gopCntrlParamPreset is others,  the handle is always NULL and quit.

I don't know how to use user defined to set GOP,  could you help me please.

thank you ~~

THANK YOU VERY MUCH！

It works while I use your cfg file.   the handle is returned by H265create function successfully.

and the Frame encoding  are IPPPPPPPP...

if I want to set GOP size is 5, frame type like : I P P P P I P P P P I P P P P I P......

I use this way to do it :　

if I want a I Frame :

1, set next frame type param to be IDR_FRAME:

     lDynamicParams.videnc2DynamicParams.forceFrame = IVIDEO_IDR_FRAME;

2, call control function

H265VENC_control(handle,
XDM_SETPARAMS,
(H265VENC_DynamicParams *)&lDynamicParams,
(H265VENC_Status *)&lstatus);

3, set the param back

lDynamicParams.videnc2DynamicParams.forceFrame = IVIDEO_NA_FRAME

and this way works correctly~  I got frame like I P P P P I P P P P ...

SO,  could you tell me ,  is the way right?  or another way to do it ?

and  thank you very much again~~

! you are the greatest~~~ thank you !
it works , intraFrameInterval param can control the number of P frame.
And ... decRefreshInterval is 0, it's still work~~


thank you very much!! And ... can I ask more question here...

the demo of H265encoder, test app, download from software-dl.ti.com/.../index.html

（in C6678, using core 0）
And When I use JTAG to load the .out file built by this testapp project , the core is running at once... I pause it , it stops in address 0x00000000...
then I reset dsp using CCS debug [cpu reset] button, and reload .out file ,  
it becomes narmal, it stops in main function. and I can run it normally...

however, it's Just encoder's problem. out file of Decoder testapp is always ok..

thank you very much~~

Hi,

- Config param decRefreshInterval is enabled only if you need an IDR.
- Regarding loading of encoder .out, can you please try by restarting CCS.

Thanks and Regards,

thanks~

I have tried to restart CCS, but the .out file of encoder still doesn't work at first time  .  

I need reset DSP ,then reload out file and it works.   Decoder'out file is always OK.

 IF I use pcie-load way to load .out file from host to DSP,  maybe it's ok?

Forgive me I have another question that I met yesterday...

HERE IS:

I wanna use PCIE interrupt in my sys/bios project. 

so I use the example to initalize the PCIE interrupt something.

the example is from   "mcsdk_2_01_02_06\tools\boot_loader\examples\pcie\pcieboot_interrupt\src"

I use the code from main function.

the code is:

DEVICE_REG32_W(PCIE_LEGACY_A_IRQ_STATUS, 0x1);

/************************************************
*************** INTC Configuration *************
************************************************/
write_uart("Debug: GEM-INTC Configuration...\n\r");

/* INTC module initialization */
intcContext.eventhandlerRecord = EventHandler;
intcContext.numEvtEntries = 10;
if (CSL_intcInit(&intcContext) != CSL_SOK)
{
write_uart("Error: GEM-INTC initialization failed n\r");
return;
}

/* Enable NMIs */
if (CSL_intcGlobalNmiEnable() != CSL_SOK)
{
write_uart("Error: GEM-INTC global NMI enable failed n\r");
return;
}

/* Enable global interrupts */
if (CSL_intcGlobalEnable(&state) != CSL_SOK)
{
write_uart("Error: GEM-INTC global enable failed \n\r");
return;
}

/* Open the INTC Module for Vector ID: 4 and Event ID: 63 (C6678) 59 (C6670)
* Refer to the interrupt architecture and mapping document for the Event ID (INTC0_OUT3)*/
vectId = CSL_INTC_VECTID_4;
hTest = CSL_intcOpen (&intcObj, INTC0_OUT3, &vectId , NULL);
if (hTest == NULL)
{
write_uart("Error: GEM-INTC Open failed\n\r");
return;
}

/* Register an call-back handler which is invoked when the event occurs. */
EventRecord.handler = &test_isr_handler;
EventRecord.arg = 0;
if (CSL_intcPlugEventHandler(hTest,&EventRecord) != CSL_SOK)
{
write_uart("Error: GEM-INTC Plug event handler failed\n\r");
return;
}

/* Enabling the events. */
if (CSL_intcHwControl(hTest,CSL_INTC_CMD_EVTENABLE, NULL) != CSL_SOK)
{
write_uart("Error: GEM-INTC CSL_INTC_CMD_EVTENABLE command failed\n\r");
return;
}

write_uart("Debug: GEM-INTC Configuration Completed \n\r");

/**************************************************
************* CPINTC-0 Configuration *************
**************************************************/

write_uart("Debug: CPINTC-0 Configuration...\n\r");

/* Open the handle to the CPINT Instance */
hnd = CSL_CPINTC_open(0);
if (hnd == 0)
{
write_uart("Error: Unable to open CPINTC-0\n\r");
return;
}

/* Disable all host interrupts. */
CSL_CPINTC_disableAllHostInterrupt(hnd);

/* Configure no nesting support in the CPINTC Module. */
CSL_CPINTC_setNestingMode (hnd, CPINTC_NO_NESTING);

/* We now map System Interrupt 0 - 3 to channel 3 */
CSL_CPINTC_mapSystemIntrToChannel (hnd, PCIEXpress_Legacy_INTA, 3);

/* We now enable system interrupt 0 - 3 */
CSL_CPINTC_enableSysInterrupt (hnd, PCIEXpress_Legacy_INTA);

/* We enable host interrupts. */
CSL_CPINTC_enableHostInterrupt (hnd, 3);

/* Enable all host interrupts also. */
CSL_CPINTC_enableAllHostInterrupt(hnd);

=======================================================

AND It works, I can use PCIE interrupt sended or recieved with Host.

HOWEVER, the IPC  is always pended in somewhere, like IPC_attach or any ipc function.

I guess that the PCIE interrupt resource allocted by CSL libaray and the IPC resource allocted by sys/bios.

are there a conflict between pcie and ipc Interrupt resource?

could you help me  or point the way out for me please?

THANK YOU ...
