[TDA4M] TIDL_init is not responding at EVM

Hi,

  Can you confirm that you have run quant stats tool while import?

Regards,

Anshu

Hi

1. run quant stats tool

I checked it with not only tidl_quant_stats_tool.out but app_tidl_object_detection at PC host Emulation Mode.

My network is processed with these applications at PC host Emulation Mode.

2. tidl error code

I can find that TIDL_init() is returned the below error.

However I couldn't figure out the reason with this error code (-1 means just IALG_EFAIL)

Do you have any way to find the detail error reason?

---- log ---

[C7x_1 ] 48.030906 s: VX_ZONE_INFO:[tivxAlgiVisionCreate:305] Calling ialg.algInit ...

[C7x_1 ] 48.036112 s: VX_ZONE_ERROR:[tivxAlgiVisionCreate:316] Calling ialg.algInit failed with status = -1

3. run TI_DEVICE_dsp_test_dl_algo.out at EVM

I try to run TI_DEVICE_dsp_test_dl_algo.out at EVM, but it cannot be executed because of the below reason.

How can I run TI_DEVICE_dsp_test_dl_algo.out at EVM?

--- EVM ---

root@j7-evm:/opt/vision_apps# ./TI_DEVICE_dsp_test_dl_algo.out
-sh: ./TI_DEVICE_dsp_test_dl_algo.out: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Regards.

Hi,

    You can enable traces by setting traceLogLevel = 1 ( this is part of TIDL create time parameters). This will print the error messages which can help us figure out the cause for this error.

Hi.

I try to run TI_DEVICE_dsp_test_dl_algo.out at EVM, but it cannot be executed because of the below reason.

How can I run TI_DEVICE_dsp_test_dl_algo.out at EVM?

I build the binary at my side, but the result is same.

( make -C ./test -f makefile TARGET_PLATFORM=TI_DEVICE )

--- EVM ---

root@j7-evm:/opt/vision_apps# ./TI_DEVICE_dsp_test_dl_algo.out
-sh: ./TI_DEVICE_dsp_test_dl_algo.out: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Hi, 
  Please refer User guide->Build and Run Instruction->TIDL Sample application ->"Steps to run Sample Application on EVM" section to see the steps to run the executable on EVM.

Hi

I launched the TI_DEVICE_dsp_test_dl_algo.out with XDS560V2Pro.

I try to run this application after loading with CCS.

Waiting for sync 82000000, 0 log keep being printed forever.

How can I avoid it? and What is the reason of it?

Hi.

I used 16GB card, I changed it to 4GB card which is formatted to FAT, FAT32.

However, the result is same.

Regards.

Hi,

   Have you followed this step :

"Copy the target Sample Application (TI_DEVICE_dsp_test_dl_algo.out) and "testvecs" folder in to the memory card. Create a empty "trace" folder in memory card if you are enabling writeTraceLevel."

Regards,

Anshu

Hi

Of course, I followed the guide what you mentioned.

I found init_msg_q function keep waiting the 0x82000000 address is changed to E0F12E10.

Please let me know why the below function keep waiting on my side.

static void init_MSG_Q(void)
{
    while(1)
    {
        if(sleep == 10000)
        {
            appLogPrintf("Waiting for sync %p, %d\n",  &msg_q.sync, msg_q.sync);
            sleep = 0;
        }
        Cache_wbInv((void*)0x82000000, 0x40000);
        if (*(unsigned int*)0x82000000 ==  0xE0F12E10) //(msg_q.sync == 0xE0F12E10)
        {
            msg_q_init = 1;
            break;
        }

        sleep++;

    }
    appLogPrintf("Syncd\n");
    msg_q.numMsg = 0;
}

Hi Choi,

I had faced this issue some days back and it was SD card issue.

It didn't work with 16 GB and worked with 4 GB card for me.

One more customer also faced the same issue.

Can you freshly format the 4 GB card for FAT32 and try again.

Hi

I found this issue is related to SOM board.

My company has 2 EVM boards.

I checked this issue with 2 EVM boards by changing each other.

The result was such as below.

(I tested it with the same sdcard , JTAG debugger and same PC)

SOM_1, Common Processor Board_1 : NOK

SOM_1, Common Processor Board_2 : NOK

SOM_2, Common Processor Board_1 : OK

SOM_2, Common Processor Board_2 : OK

This issue is occurred with only SOM_1 board.

I'm attaching the serial number of SOM board

(SOM board S/N : 2919780024)

Please let me know how can I handle this board issue.

problem description

1. TIDL_init() is not responding

2. wait for sync(init_msg_q) is not complete.

 - I launched the TI_DEVICE_dsp_test_dl_algo.out with XDS560V2Pro.

 - I try to run this application after loading with CCS.

 - Waiting for sync 82000000, 0 log keep being printed forever.

Hi Dongwon Choi,

   Can  you confirm the other board which you are using is configured to be in NO BOOT mode.

Hi.

The pre-condition and detail reproduction process and the error log is below.

1. pre-condition

  a. PSDK version : 06.00.01

  b. TIDL version : 00.09.01

  c. CCS version : 9.0.1.00004

  d. target : J721e alpha EVM

2. reproduce step

  a. connect XDS560V2Pro to EVM board.

  b. insert sdcard and set boot mode to No boot mode (10001000 / 01110000)

  c. Start the CCS and Lauch target configuration for the EVM

      Run the script "packages\ti\drv\sciclient\tools\ccsLoadDmsc\j721e\launch.js"

  d. Run the TIDL Launch script"ti_dl\utils\targetTest\launch_tidl.js"

  e. Resume or step over in CCS for debugging TIDL model.

3. expected behavior : TIDL Sample application can be run and debug with CCS.

4. issue details

Hi Dongwon,  

    I don't see any specific reason why it works on one board and doesn't work on other. I will loop in the person who wrote this part of the code, to this thread ( he will be back on Monday).

Anshu

Hi Dongwon,
    Can you first test if the SD card itself is working on the other board which you are using? If yes then I would request you to get the UART logs of A72 for the board which is not working.

Regards,

Anshu

Hi Anshu

Yes, SD card is working on the other board.

I'm attaching the uart logs when it is not working.

Hi Dongwon,

   These UART logs do not show any messages related to FileIO. Are you sharing the logs when you get sync error from TIDL

Anshu
