Hi Chris,

 

I tried with the latest encoder in codecs (1_12_000) available in
dvsdk_1_30_00_40, unfortunately this has the same issue.

 

So am back to square 1 :-(

 

Now looking at running the audio components outside of codec engine till
this problem is fixed.

 

Regards,

Vinayak

Diego's suggestion is a good one, try the latest codecs.  Your issue may
be a bug in the video codecs that shows up when the memory is cached.

 

That said... the reality is that there's a gap in xDAIS/IALG where it
doesn't comprehend cached/uncached or physically contiguous memory
spaces... and therefore provides no way for algs to ask for memory of
these types.

 

We're looking at ways in xDAIS to add this support in our next major
releases (xDAIS 6.20 and CE 2.20 in Q3 this year), but nothing in the
existing products. Note that we're planning to add this in a
backward-compatible way so we don't break existing algs... but algs that
need to take advantage of the new mem spaces would have to be modified
to request them (e.g. cached/uncached,
physically-contig/contig-don't-care).

 

Given that... users that need this functionality _today_ may have to
resort to hacks in the near term. One system-specific hack/approach
could be to modify CMEM to identify all the alloc requests from the
audio codecs (perhaps by size?), and convert all the requests identified
for the audio codecs as cacheable, regardless of whether it's asked for
cacheable or not. Yes, it's a hack, but might get you past this until we
have more official support in xDAIS/CE.

        Vinayak, 

         

        I would suggest you to try with the latest release of the codecs
(1_12_000) available at the dvsdk dvsdk_1_30_00_40 (which should be
accessible at the update site for your EVM).

         

        We left behind several issues when move to use the new codecs.

         

        Regards,

         

        Diego

        Hi All,

        We are working on a product on the DM355 which uses the TI MPEG4
Enc/Dec and our companies speech codecs.

        Currently we are using the TI codecs - version
dm355_codecs_1_06_01 which were released with dvsdk dvsdk_1_30_00_23.

        We ran into a big issue using the TI MPEG4 encoder/decoder with
our audio components on DM355.

        For our audio components for optimal performance , we need to
set all the memory used by the audio components to cache-able.

        We do this by the following settings in the XDC file.

        algSettings = xdc.useModule('ti.sdo.ce.alg.Settings');

        algSettings.useCache = true;

        When we do this the TI MPEG4 Encoder stops working.  Most likely
we have hit upon some cache coherency issues. Is there any way we can
correct this.

        Thanks and Regards,

        Vinayak
