[android-porting] OMX_Init questions for vendor specific components

[HV]

Hi All,

Now that I have my custom decoder/core being recognized by the
system, I've started implementing the 9 core methods, but hit a road
block with the OMX_Init function. Are there any vendor specific
samples?

Here is what I have (based on the template in _OMX_Init( ) under
pv_omxcore.cpp):

OSCL_EXPORT_REF OMX_ERRORTYPE OMXHV_Init()
{
OMX_ERRORTYPE status = OMX_ErrorNone;
int32 error;

LOGE("HV: OMXHV_Init\n");

//get global data structure
OMXGlobalData* data =
(OMXGlobalData*)OsclSingletonRegistry::lockAndGetInstance(OSCL_SINGLETON_ID_HV,
error);
if (error) // can't access registry
{
LOGE("HV: OMXHV_Init, ERROR-1\n");
return OMX_ErrorInsufficientResources;
}

else if (!data) // singleton object has been destroyed
{
OsclSingletonRegistry::registerInstanceAndUnlock(data,
OSCL_SINGLETON_ID_HV, error);
LOGE("HV: OMXHV_Init, ERROR-2\n");
return OMX_ErrorInsufficientResources;
}

LOGE("HV: OMXHV_Init, status = %d\n", status);
return status;
}

I do get called into this function, but it errors [ERROR-2 above] out.
Any idea what I'm missing here?

Thanks in advance
HV

I figured that it's left to the vendor to implement in however way
they wish to. Looking @ the Bellagio & LIM sources helped me. Now,
OMX_Init(), OMX_GetComponentENum() & OMX_GetRolesOfComponent() calls
are successfully passing within my new core, but I don't get any
further calls. I see that the software components also go thru a
similar sequence (for all the decoders & encoders) but no more entry
into any of the other functions (was expecting the next call into
OMX_GetHandle). Any clues? I've attached the last part of the log &
would really appreciate some tips:

Looks like the mediaserver crashed even before the decoder was
instantiated. You would need to check that.

I guess you updated your new OMX library in a /system/etc/<my-omx>.cfg file

Opencore walks through all the OMX libraries, and places below calls for a codec.,
it picks up a component based on component repository order..

Can you try renaming your /system/etc/<my-omx>.cfg  as /system/etc/0001-<my-omx>.cfg??

Thanks for your responses, my comments inline:

>>instantiated. You would need to check that.

@RaviY, Could you please be more specific as to what I need to verify?
I have a working version (i.e., if I remove my component) where in the
framework parses other components in pvplayer.cfg, before it even
starts looking at the thumbnail stuff.

>>Can you try renaming your /system/etc/<my-omx>.cfg as /system/etc/0001-<my-omx>.cfg??

@Deva R, tried doing this, but see no change. I also noticed that
the .cfg loading process is repeated twice!! Any idea why this is so?

Just wanted to let you guys know that I got this RESOLVED. After
breaking my head over what could have possibly went wrong, I decided
to do a svn diff of all the files that I had modified. In the process
I realised that I had touched lota files that had just my own debug-
prints to check out the data/code flow (particularly in the oscl &
nodes dirs). I just reverted these & voila, it dint crash!! I guess I
had messed up something in my DPs. Anyways, glad to get a move on
here. thanks for your posts

Best regards
HV
