DM365 "Invalid module format" problem

This normally means that there is software incompatibility between your linux kernel and your file-system.  Are you using both from the same software release (e.g. kernel via TFTP and file-system via NFS) or are you still using the older file-system?

I overwrite the file-system use "dm365_flash_image_2_10_01_18.tar" which I thank was the newest and haven't overwrite the kernel, so I use TFTP to downloard new kernel "linux-2.6.18_pro500" I maked, Is that any problem? or should I overwrite the kernel on the board? thanks

no need to overwrite kernel on board; however, not sure I trust the dm365_flash_image_2_10_01_18.tar; I normally follow the Getting Started Guide and use the file system included with the DVSDK install.  I can tell there are differences between the one in the tar file and the one installed per GSG. 

Juan,

    I download the software from  http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/dvsdk/DVSDK_2_10/latest/index_FDS.html,  you can see these just for DM365, and I overwrite the file-system use  "dm365_flash_image_2_10_01_18.tar" and use the new kernel build from "linux-2.6.18_pro500", I think all these would be right, but got an problem like that, so, how could I do next? rebuild cmemc.ko or overwrite the kernel? 

Eric,

I got same problem. After rebuild DVSDK, the problem was solved.

 Your DVSDK package on your file system need to match with the kernel which you are running.  You'd better to run a NFS file system , and rebuild your DVSDK package under ../dvsdk_2_10_00_xx .

Try run

make clean,

 make,

 make install. 

and see if this helps for you.

I have same problem as that described by Eric, although I followed the online GSG and so am using the DVSDK downloaded from the TI site, and the kernel from the LSP DVD supplied with the EVM.

I'm completely new to linux, so I don't have a good grasp of some of the explanations in the previous posts. However, I see that the DVSDK version I've used is 02_10_01_18 whereas the kernel is version 02_10_00_08. Is this the cause of the problem? Do I need to match these versions?

Thanks

You should have the kernel (a.k.a. LSP/PSP) and DVSDK versions that are properly associated with each other, if they do not you can run into issues when you try to run the demos, starting with the failure to insert cmemk.ko.

For DVSDK 2.10.01.18 you should be running LSP 2.10.00.14, both of these can be found here.

The one piece I don't believe you need to change is the MVL 5.0 system tools installer, this contains the MVL build tools which should be constant (and happen to be the largest download).

Thanks, llavacen, for this hint.I am running into the same problems as Eric Hou ans some other guys. It seems to me, that the "dm365_flash_image_2_10_01_18.tar" does not fit to the Linux kernel and sources, that are shipped together with the package on

http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/dvsdk/DVSDK_2_10/latest/index_FDS.html

But unfortunately i am so new to that stuff, that I dont know what you mean to "try" the path you mentioned in your posting:

Shall I modify the Rules.make in dvsdk## in the line "# Where the Codec Engine package is installed" to "dm365_codecs_01_00_06"?

Or shall I start the make in the mentioned path? With which parameters?

Or does that mean to copy those *.ko files to dvsdk##/kernel_libraries?

Or ... ?

What is the favorite method?

Thanks and best regards

Ulrich

Ulrich:

     Just modify the Rules.make as the userguird tell you, rebuilt the kernel and the code under dvsdk and using the new kernel, copy the new built *.ko and decode/encode/…… instand of files already in the board, and everything will be ok 

what I mean is go to the directory where you installed dvsdk, then from there, change directory with the following command:

cd dm365_codecs_01_00_06/packages/ti/sdo/codecs/h264enc/apps/client/build/arm926

This will enable you to run the demo but I think you wont be able to run the encoder or decoder in it.   At least you will get to play with it before that point and learn a few things, but the hard way.   Rebuilding the dvsdk seems mandatory and will definitily solve alot of problems your having and going to have.

Thanks to all! it is running now. I also had to add  "video=davincifb:rotation=90" to the bootargs. Now I can see the demo.

Best regards
