TDA4VM: Does TDA4VM support 4ch 1280*960 H.264 encoding?

Hi,Sunita Nadampalli:

Thank you for you reply.
1. I will try to carveout memory to support 4ch encode according to this link.
2. With basic_demos/ecnoder app, I can encode 1 channel video. It there any patch or configs to support 2ch encode?

Thanks.

Dear Sunita Nadampalli:

We tried as user guide to carveout memory, but failed to enode 4 channel. Would you please check if any error in my action?

1. Edit the file: vision_apps/apps/basic_demos/app_tirtos/tirtos_linux/gen_linker_mem_map.py

mcu2_1_ddr_non_cache_size   = 64*MB - mcu2_0_ddr_non_cache_size;

to

mcu2_1_ddr_non_cache_size   = 128*MB - mcu2_0_ddr_non_cache_size;

2. Run gen_linker_mem_map.py

3. Edit mcu2_0/r5_mpu.xs and mcu2_1/r5_mpu.xs with same changes:

3.1 Update:
Before:

MPU.setRegionMeta(index++, non_cache_base_addr + 0*16*MB, MPU.RegionSize_16M, attrs);
MPU.setRegionMeta(index++, non_cache_base_addr + 1*16*MB, MPU.RegionSize_16M, attrs);
MPU.setRegionMeta(index++, non_cache_base_addr + 2*16*MB, MPU.RegionSize_16M, attrs);
MPU.setRegionMeta(index++, non_cache_base_addr + 3*16*MB, MPU.RegionSize_16M, attrs);

After:

MPU.setRegionMeta(index++, non_cache_base_addr + 0*32*MB, MPU.RegionSize_32M, attrs);
MPU.setRegionMeta(index++, non_cache_base_addr + 1*32*MB, MPU.RegionSize_32M, attrs);

3.2 Add:

MPU.setRegionMeta(index++, non_cache_base_addr + 2*32*MB, MPU.RegionSize_32M, attrs);
MPU.setRegionMeta(index++, non_cache_base_addr + 3*32*MB, MPU.RegionSize_32M, attrs);

4. After that, we run encoder app error (We modify app_encode example to use 4 channel encoding nodes), but we got error message as follows:
