DM6467 Doc's for H.264 Decoder

we have NDA processes for a variety of collateral and siging one NDA does not get you access to all; hence it is hard to answer the question about what you will get without knowing more information... However, with regards to H.264 implementation, I do not believe this is shared with any of our NDAs.

you are probrably correct that one NDA will get you all the DM6467 specific docs, it makes sense since these are all related.  To be honest, I am not en expert NDAs so perhaps I should leave this to our experts... Normally when customers require collateral protected by NDAs, they work with their local sales representatives to sign the required NDAs and get access to such collateral.  I can probrably help by confirming if something is available or not, but you will still need to work with your local sales representative to signed required NDAs and they are likely to know much more than I on this topic.

Hi Juan,

 We are trying to rebuild DVSDK for DM6467 with H.264 High Profile decoder (received from TI) by following the steps in http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php/How_do_I_Integrate_new_codecs_into_DVSDK, which we also have followed for including MP3 decoder. If we go by the wiki page it seems that H.264 BP decoder and H.264 HP decoder configuration settings match. Is our understanding correct here. Because we have merely replaced the BP decoder folder with HP decoder package in the ' /<>/packages/ti/sdo/codecs/'. 

 Here we are able to rebuild the DVSDK without H264dec warning and boot the EVM using NFS mount. But when we "./decode -v ./data/videos/videofile.264" it throws up    "Failed to create video decoder : h264dec" error.

 Are we missing any specific configurations in decode/decode.cfg file. Are there any specific steps to be followed for building and testing H.264 HP decoder in the DVSDK.

Thanks in advance

Sushant,

It is my understanding that codecs are delivered along with make scripts and packaging file specific for that codec...you can follow the wiki to get a better idea of what you can change (e.g. name, memory map...), but I would not say we can guarantee you can just drop in even different versions of same codec...which is why other files accompany the codec deliverable.

That said, you should not need to change any code at the demo level (e.g. decode/decode.cfg) unless you changed the names of the codec server or algorithm names... if you kept the same names, no need to change anything at this level.

If you are having a hard time following the wiki article, please tells us where you are stuck and if I cannot answer it, I will try to find someone who can...

Hi Juan,

 We have followed the Wiki article for including MP3 decoder in the DVSDK and were successful in decoding and playing .MP3 over the EVM. But when we follow the same steps for H.264 HP decoder it doesnot work. The DVSDK comes with H.264 baseline profile decoder for which the decode.cfg is already having necessary settings.

 The documentation that was included in the High Profile decoder package doesnot contain any specific steps to run and test the package on DVSDK. Can you please look into the same. 

Thanks,

Sushant
