TDA2: VCOP register allocation failed error while compiling

Shruti Joshi

Part Number: TDA2

Hi,

I have written a code in Kernel C for an algorithm. I am trying to compile the code through CCS7.4, but I get the following error while compiling:

Can anyone please help me understand why this error is generated?

Shruti,
This means that your loop needs more registers than available register in VCOP. Without looking at the kernel code its difficult to comment more. If you can share your kernel then we can have look at it and comment more. If not then you should check the generated assembly code and see the registers used by the VCOP.

Shruti,
Were you able to make progress on this issue? If yes, please close this thread. If not then let us know about it.

Hi Anshu,

Sorry for the late response. I tried looking into the assembly code, but not found any lead. I am attaching my kernel C code here for reference. Can you please have a look at it?

}

The code is for the Sobel edge detection algorithm. The commented part is the original algorithm, which is later converted to interleaved format.

Shruti,
I tried compiling the code you shared and I don't see any build error. Following are my compiler options. Can you make sure the compiler options are the same :

Hi Shruti,
Were you able to make these compiler option changes? If yes are you still seeing "VCOP register allocation failed" error?
