Strange XDC Error

BTW, I still receive this error, even if I get rid of the video copy codec:

Have a great day!

Take care,

Never mind; I figured it out...

Thanks,

These messages are usually fairly cryptic and hard to find out what they mean or what really went wrong, for posterity on the forum I am curious what you had to do to fix this?

Just a best guess, but the line containing the error in the osal/package.xs script is within a "if the OSAL has been configured to be a DSP-side, BIOS-based executable" branch.  (We're digging through the expected BIOS-based memory segments).  Given the user's configuro line, I think the intent was to configure an ARM-side executable, so there _aren't_ any BIOS-based memory segments, and we're [errantly] not checking that an object exists before digging through it.

So my best guess is that the OSAL was misconfigured in the config script.

FWIW, I think we've cleaned up this error message in newer releases of Codec Engine.

Hi

I"m also get this error.

Did you find who to solve this errror:

I am having the same "TypeError: Cannot call method "instances" of undefined".  What did you do to fix it?
