I'm new to this mailing list and I'm not clear on how much this has been discussed before, but is there a way to recover from an application crash without having to reboot the system?
I have this daemon that interfaces with the codec engine for the audio processing and even though I'd like to think that my code is 100% bug free (...), on the rare occasion where it would crash, I would at least like to be able to just restart it to recover. However most often than not I will either get a failed return code I believe when creating the audio encoder instance, or worst my thread will hang FOREVER on the call to Engine_open which never returns. Is there a way upon application restart to re-initialize things properly in order to avoid the reboot?

Lately I've been trying to track down a bug on some of my arm code running on the davinci. As most programmers know there can be plenty of sigfaults. The problem is that the codec engine is running when I sigfault so it doesn't get closed down properly. This means the next time I try to launch my application I get this error: @0x0007f980:[T:0x4194db60] OP - Processor_create_d> Loading and starting DSP server 'algo.x64P' FAILED, status=[0x8000800b] (look for error code 'DSP_EBASE + 0xb' in dsplink*/packages/dsplink/gpp/inc/errbase.h) @0x0007fbe0:[T:0x4194db60] OP - Processor_delete_d> Closing remote transport FAILED, status=0x80008002. @0x0007fd08:[T:0x4194db60] OP - Processor_delete_d> Stopping DSP FAILED, status=0x80008000 @0x0007fe0a:[T:0x4194db60] OP - Processor_delete_d> Closing pool FAILED, status=0x80008000 @0x0007fedf:[T:0x4194db60] OP - Processor_delete_d> Detaching from DSP FAILED, status=0x80008000 @0x00080948:[T:0x4214db60] CE - rserverOpen: can't start 'SARalgo.x64P'; Processor_create failed TraceUtil> Error: Failed to open codec engine "algo" I looked in errbase.h and I see this. /* An invalid argument was specified. */ #define DSP_EINVALIDARG (DSP_EBASE + 0xBl) I don't think it's an invalid argument problem because it runs just fine if I comment out the ARM code that is causing the segfault. The only way to get it to launch the codec engine again is a full system restart. I've tried rmmod dsplinkk and cmemk and re-inserting them but that doesn't work. Just the reboot does. Any suggestions?
