New beagleboard demo image, now with 100% more DSP

[Koen Kooi]

Hi,

There's a new demo image + kernel available from http://angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/

It now includes *all* the things needed to get gstreamer to use the
DSP for decoding audio and video using the infrastructure from
gstreamer.ti.com.

As you can see in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcdaosTiWPI there is
a TI watermark in the video, this is because only evaluation codecs
can be distributed, but nothing is stopping you from using the
production codecs from the dvsdk.

regards,

Koen

[Dan Poirot]

Way cool demo image... ...and I haven't even got to Gstreamer.

I showed this to a coworker and he said "It's just like a tiny Linux box!"

...yes, it is.

Beautiful package Koen.

Thanks,
- dan

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Nice work Koen!

[Søren Steen Christensen]

> Nice work Koen!

Indeed - Nice work - I unfortunately can't make the gstreamer DSP link
working => It's hard to see the great improvement - I hope somebody can help
me forward :-)

I'm unfortunately still pretty new to gstreamer and Linux multimedia in
general...

In order for anybody to tell me what I'm doing wrong, I will therefore here
try to sketch what I did:

1) Download the binaries from:
http://angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
2) Copy u-boot, MLO and uImage to the MMC FAT partition
3) Extract the file system image to the EXT partition
4) Boot into uboot and set environment using the serial connection like:

a) setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait omapfb.video_mode=640x480MR-16@60 mem=104M'
b) setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit; fatload mmc 0 0x80300000 uImage; bootm
0x80300000'
c) saveenv

5) Restart board and connect HUB with mouse and keyboard
6) Boot into the X-environment - Shows nicely over DVI
7) Start a terminal and enter the following:

a) su
b) modprobe cmemk phys_start=0x88000000 phys_end=0x89000000
pools=20x4096,8x131072,5x1048576,1x1429440,1x256000,1x5250000,3x829440
c) modprobe dsplinkk
d) modprobe lpm_omap3530
e) cd /usr/share/ti-codec-combos

8) Try to playback the BigBuckBunny.m4v file like:

a) gst-launch filesrc location=/data/movies/BigBuckBunny_640x360.m4v !
qtdemux name=demux demux.video_00 ! TIViddec2 ! xvimagesink

=>

The gstreamer complains about:
"Failed to load plugin ... libstrsubparse.so"

and stops with the comment
"Pipeline is PREROLLING ..."

I can stop(kill gstreamer by pressing CTRL+C and I get the same result even
though I run it several times. Anybody having any idea, what I'm doing
wrong? Or anybody having any ideas of what to try? Or what worked for them?
Any kind of link will be highly appreciated :-)

Best regards and thanks in advance
Søren

PS: I'm running on a B5 board, but I don't think that's important...

Hello,

Looks like some issue with your cmem module. I have rev B7 and my
cmdline and loadmodule looks something like this

1: Boot kernel with mem=88M

2: Use the below loadmodule.sh

# Default Memory Map
#
# Start Addr Size Description
# -------------------------------------------
# 0x80000000 88 MB Linux
# 0x85800000 08 MB CMEM
# 0x86800000 24 MB DDRALGHEAP
# 0x87800000 6 MB DDR2 (BIOS, Codecs, Applications)
# 0x87E00000 1 MB DSPLINK (MEM)
# 0x87F00000 4 KB DSPLINK (RESET)
# 0x87F01000 1020 KB unused

modprobe cmemk phys_start=0x85800000 phys_end=0x86800000
pools=20x4096,8x131072,4x829440,1x5250000,1x1429440,1x256000


# insert DSP/BIOS Link driver
#
modprobe dsplinkk

# make /dev/dsplink
rm -f /dev/dsplink
mknod /dev/dsplink c `awk "\\$2==\"dsplink\" {print \\$1}" /proc/devices` 0


# insert Local Power Manager driver
#
modprobe lpm_omap3530

# insert sdma module
modprobe sdmak


3: And finally my pipeline looks like something this for elementry
video decoding

gst-launch filesrc location=$1 ! TIViddec2 codecName=$codecName
engineName=decode genTimeStamps=FALSE ! xvimagesink

Thanks
Brijesh Singh

Confusion is always the most honest response.

[Søren Steen Christensen]

Hi Brijesh,

Thanks for your comments, with this info I was able to make it (nearly) work
:-) :-) :-)

1) I changed bootargs to 'mem=88M'
Then
2) modprobe cmemk phys_start=0x85800000 phys_end=0x86800000
pools=20x4096,8x131072,4x829440,1x5250000,1x1429440,1x256000
3) modprobe dsplinkk
4) modprobe lpm_omap3530

5)
a) gst-launch -v filesrc location=/data/BigBuckBunny_640x360.m4v !

qtdemux name=demux.video_00 ! TIViddec2 ! xvimagesink

=> Video starts playing with TI logo in upper right corner :-)
No Audio - Is this supposed?
Crashes with a mmcblk0: error -84 transferring data error after some
random time
b) gst-launch playbin uri=file:///data/BigBuckBunny_640x360.m4v
=> Black video with TI logo in corner and Audio Plays :-)
Does not seem to crash with MMC error, although not extensively
tested...

I think the original command I used will only work on a RevC board with
256MB RAM?

After taking a closer look, the phys_start address in my original command
was 0x88000000, which is the exact end of the SDRAM - This new value is
within the 128MB limit:-)... That being said, I tried to change the limit to
104M (by setting phys_start=0x86800000, phys_end=0x87800000 and changing
mem=104M in bootargs) - This however didn't seem to work - Is this as
expected?

Best regards and thanks - I'm beginning to get a hole through :-) :-)

Yes, there is not only CMEM but also CE that needs some memory up there,
so you cannot move CMEM without reducing the CE mem.

[BK] I don't see audio element in plugin in your pipeline. What type
of file is /data/BigBuckBunny_640x360.m4v ?
I see you are using qtdemux, is this mp4 file?? I use the below
pipeline for my mp4

gst-launch filesrc location=sample.mp4 ! typefind ! qtdemux name=demux
demux.audio_00 ! queue max-size-buffers=1800 max-size-time=0
max-size-bytes=0 ! typefind ! TIAuddec1 ! alsasink demux.video_00 !
typefind ! TIViddec2 ! xvimagesink

[BK] Currently plugins does not work well with playbin/decodebin. It;s
one the known issue listed at gstreamer.ti.com tracker items.

[BK] I have old beagleboard from friend and it has 128M. I don't know
the mem option for 256M. Sorry.

[Søren Steen Christensen]

Cool - That did the trick :-) Now I have both Audio and Video running,
although it seem a bit unstable - It's normally crashing after a short while
(10-20 sec) with something like:

"Failed to configure latency of 0:00:00.000000000

mmcblk0: error -84 transferring data

end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1924355
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1924363
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1924371
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1924379
..."

Is this supposed/known/expected? Should I try another SD card? Or some
different approach? - I.e. playing the file from a network drive instead of
MMC?

Do you have any pointers to general gsteamer usage? I'm completely new to
gstreamer and while seeing it, it kind of makes sense that I need to set an
audio path as well as the video path, but I'm not sure I would easily work
out the command myself - Thanks for the hint :-)

@Vladimir: Thanks for your comments as well. Luckily they were pretty much
aligned with what I thought :-)

Best regards and thanks to all of you

Koen,

We downloaded the demo image and kernel (2.6.28-r17) from the URL
below. We are able to decode video, but it only runs for 5-10 seconds
before we get kernel panics. Sometimes we are seeing reports of MMC
card errors (transfer data errors, etc.).

We might have some bad cards, so we're going to get new ones.

We have tried a 2.6.27-20 we built with the dsplink from codec engine
2.21. We are also seeing video playback for 5-10 seconds before
kernel panics in MMC. Same as with the above.

We also used CIFS with our 2.6.27-20 kernel to mount files over the
network and play, but then we saw kernel panics in the kernel power
management driver (omap3_pm_idle function).

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Peter

P.S. Youtube is blocked again over here in China, so we aren't able to
see your video :( But we believe it can work!

Hi all

I tried to reproduce a video using the very same instructions, but I
thing I have some setbacks.

note: all the commandas where introduced using the serial port since I
have no adapter to use a keyboard and a mouse in the B6 beagleboard.

1) bootargs to 'mem=88M video=omapfb:vram:10M
omapfb.video_mode=1024x768MR-16@60'

2) modprobe cmemk phys_start=0x85800000 phys_end=0x86800000
pools=20x4096,8x131072,4x829440,1x5250000,1x1429440,1x256000
3) modprobe dsplinkk
4) modprobe lpm_omap3530

5) export DISPLAY=:0
6) try to play a video
a) gst-launch -v filesrc location=/home/root/

BigBuckBunny_640x360.m4v !
qtdemux name=demux.video_00 ! TIViddec2 ! xvimagesink

result: nothing.
console output: http://pastebin.com/m3bdd4fbd
b) gst-launch playbin uri=file:///home/root/BigBuckBunny_640x360.m4v
result: Only audio is played, no video output, not even the black
video with TI's logo mentioned by Søren
c) omapfbplay BigBuckBunny_640x360.m4v rev
result: Nothing
the console complain about "Error allocating frame buffers"
d) mplayer /home/root/BigBuckBunny_640x360.m4v
result: video is played

even when I stop X and try omapfbsink or dfbvideosink I have no video
output from gstreamer

Any idea about of what could be the problem I have to reproduce
video?

Best regards
Oscar Arias

Can you add "--gst-debug=TI*:2" in pipeline to see if there are any
errors. Also "--gst-debug=TIViddec2:5" to get detail debugging log.

There are some known issue with TI plugin while using playbin. Check
tracker item on gstreamer.ti.com

See http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php?title=GstTIPlugin_Elements
for some more details on element.

On X windowing system, you may need to use xvimagesink instead of
TIDmaiVideoSink.

-Brijesh

[Søren Steen Christensen]

Hi Oscar,

I think I ran into this problems as well - You need to cd into the TI codec
catalog
"cd /usr/share/ti-codec-combos" before trying to play the video (i.e. as
step 5½)

Other than that I think you have all the details I needed to get it up
running...

Best regards - Good luck
Søren

Hi everybody

I want to thank you (all) for your answers, I just test them and I got
video... only for while because it get frozen at a random time but I
think this is caused by the SD card I am using (got mmcblk0: error -84
transferring data ).

Apparently the only issue was changing of directory, I'll try to
update angstrom as son as I get a USB-NIC

@Koen and and others,

I have downloaded the latest kernel modules from:

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/modules-2.6.28-r17-beagleboard.tgz

and there doesn't seem to be either cmemk or dsplinkk in this package!
Is this the wrong package? or am I missing a something here?!

Thanks,
--Faraz

[Peter McDermott]

Oscar,

We and another person on this list had exactly the same problem as you
-- video plays for a few seconds, then the kernel reports SD card
errors.

Has anyone been able to make video play for longer than a few
seconds? If so, how?

Regards,

Peter

[David Hagood]

I have a RevC Beagleboard, I've loaded the Angstrom image + the
packages, and I have the same problems as others above.

I am using the following command line for the kernel:
console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait omapfb.vram=8M,
4M omapfb.video_mode=1280x800MR-24@60 mem=232M

With the modules being loaded by:

modprobe cmemk phys_start=0x8F000000 phys_end=0x90000000
pools=20x4096,8x131072,5x1048576,1x1429440,1x256000,1x5250000,3x829440
modprobe dsplinkk
modprobe lpm_omap3530

When I try to run any Gstreamer commands from the command line I get:

(gst-launch-0.10:2377): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/

usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstsubparse.so': /usr/lib/gstreamer-

So there is something buggered in the package dependencies, and/or
there are missing packages.

I got the DSP to decode a h.264 move using gstreamer in the demo image but it is very slow and blocky.  Any Ideas why?

bootargs: mem=88M omapfb.video_mode=1024x768MR-16@60

modprobe cmemk phys_start=0x85800000 phys_end=0x86800000
pools=20x4096,8x131072,4x829440,1x5250000,1x1429440,1x256000

modprobe dsplinkk
modprobe lpm_omap3530
export DISPLAY=:0

gst-launch -v filesrc location=/home/root/
elephantsdream-480-h264-st-aac.mov !

   qtdemux name=demux.video_00 ! TIViddec2 ! xvimagesink

Also I tried updating with opkg install gstreamer-ti but it fails with a opkg fork error.

Thanks,
Kevin

I got a different video to decode, must have been something weird with the other file. 
Decoding without the audio is very stable (file is on a USB stick), but as soon as you add audio the whole system grinds to a halt in a matter of seconds.  Would having a revC board help this because of more ram or is this a problem with something else?  I've tried both alsasink and osssink and they both work for a little bit then the system becomes locked up requiring a restart.

Another question I have is do I need to allocate more memory for the cmemk driver if I'm doing audio or wil the standard call work:

modprobe cmemk phys_start=0x85800000 phys_end=0x86800000
pools=20x4096,8x131072,4x829440,1x5250000,1x1429440,1x256000

Kevin,

This memory map looks okay for playing D1_NTSC video and audio.
Elements (audio and video) allocates CMEM circular buffer to copy the
data from upstream to contiguous memory location. If your cmem pool
is not a big enough then element will report ERROR. If you do not see
any error that means you are fine with your cmem args. I think your
issue is more of related to available free memory.

RevC will definatly help but for that you need to rebuild codec-combo
and other components , this page
http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php?title=Changing_the_DVEVM_memory_map
talks about some details for rebuilding combo's and other tools of
dm6446 evm and pretty much the same holds true on OMAP3. Note that
the default combo's are hard-coded for mem=88M option. Look at
loadmodule.sh script in my previous post. This will give you default
memory map.

Checkout this video to get familiar with TI plugins [1]
Also refer [2] and [3] for more info on element properties and some
sample pipeline. If you have any technical questions then i would
suggest posting on gstreamer.ti.com forums.

Hi all,
I've followed these step:

1) set boot args mem=88M video=omapfb:vram:10M omapfb.video_mode=1024x768MR-16@60

2) modprobe cmemk phys_start=0x85800000 phys_end=0x86800000 pools=20x4096,8x131072,4x829440,1x5250000,1x1429440,1x256000

3) modprobe dsplinkk

4) modprobe lpm_omap3530

5) export DISPLAY=:0

6) gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location="/media/mmcblk0p3/movie.avi" ! avidemux ! omx_mpeg4dec ! omapfbsink

Then I got these message:

I didn't have any more time for debugging it, and since I basically only
needed the graphics for fun (wanted to see the great work Koen and all the
others did in order to get this running), I didn't care that much. I think I
read on the mailing list somewhere that there were some MMC patches fixing
this issue, but I didn't try them myself - yet.

Hopefully somebody else on the list can comment

The patch I was thinking about was the one for the MMC -110 error.
I don't know if the errors are related and/or if this patch fixes the -84
problems as well, but in case you haven't it included already I would
recommend you to give it a try - See as well the discussion on the list of
SDHC errors from the 8th of April...

Best regards - See you

hi. all

as I searched and tracked about this issue, I have found out:

Assume that you have compiled all the dsplink modules out, also you
have the gstreamer ti plugin compiled as well.

when you play a video(the video must be support by TI codec combos)
on the SD/MMC card, you will get the "mmcblk0: error -84 transferring
data" error, the video will hang by this error as well. I get another
try, I copy the video from card to memory of ramdisk, then, gstreamer
ti pugin can play over the whole video without that issue.

so I think this issue is something about mmc/sd card driver, and
maybe the linux-omap mailing list or other groups have already know
this issue, and may have be fixed already, but I didn't know where is
these patches. if someone found them, please let me know,thanks.

I didn't try other SD/MMC card types, I have only one type of card
named kingston, I wanna try another type of card, but I didn't get one
at present. so, hope others can help to test this, in order to see if
only this card type cause this problem.

that's what i found, if anyone has something new, please update
this mailing list.

thanks.

Has anyone gotten this to work flawlessly? If you have can you
please post a step by step guide. I've tried to follow some of the
steps in this post, but its become pretty convoluted, and I'm not
sure if I am just doing stuff that people have already done and
figured out it was wrong.

Koen, Brijesh and steen,

Will the same work with Beagle Board Rev B5 Board? It is waiting
endless to boot from SD Card.However usb mouse with hub is connected
to the board. Will I be able to use dvsdk 3_00_00_29 provided from
TI .
I hope using this thread we will be able to encode, decode the Video
on DSP coprocessor on Beagle Board.

Regards,
Vineet

I do unfortunately not remember what we discussed in this thread, but all my
testing with respect to this have for sure been done on a rev B5 board =>
It's possible :-)

Good luck
Søren

[Brijesh Singh]

Yes, TI Gstreamer plugins does supports encoding (and decoding) video
using DSP.

For supported features check the status matrix at gstreamer.ti.com

-Brijesh

[priyank...@gmail.com]

Thanks Steen and Brijesh,

I am able to encode and decode the video using DSP on Beagle Rev B5
Board. I have some doubt.
1. In /usr/share/ti-dmai/apps , there is encode and decode sample app
binary as well as codec engine encodeCombo.x264P and decodeCombo.x264P
separately. This looks like dvsdk 3_00_00_29 sample app and codec
Engine. But neither sample app taken from this dvsdk nor Codec Engine
works with Angstrom FileSys. I want to know how the sample application
and Codec Engine compiled for Beagle Board? Where is the source code?
Is it taken from dvsdk? I want encodedecodeCombo.x264P because only 1
Engine opens at a time and I need both the engines for our
Application.

2.Ethernet connectivity is loosing after some time and it stops
Piniging.

3. Kernel Panic error is coming for some reason. we are using uImage
2.6.28

4. mplayer is not playing any Video. Moreover Display is not proper .
I was able to see some colour bars using gst-launch -v videotestsrc !
xvimagesink but I couldnot find BigBuckBunny_640x360.m4v in any of the
the drive and I put davincieffect_ntsc.m4v but mplayer is not playing
that video and the same plugin problem comes. I have connected Monitor
using HDMI-DVI cable. I could not see any video and its beagle hungs
after some time.

How to resolve these issues on RevB5 board?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Vineet

Hi Koen,

I was facing the same similar issue to plugin on BeagleBoard and none
of the video is showing on Beagle For me. I dont have any file names
BigBuckBunny_640x360.m4v in my Angstrom filesystem so I copied the
davincieffect_ntsc.m4v file from DVSDK.As you suggested , I tried to
update Angstom using opkg update and I got the following error. After
that opkg install gstreamer-ti worked for me

hmm not sure why this might happen try
ifdown etho
ifup etho
as root to see if this helps

What is the output from
uname -r
and
uname -a
It might be possible that you have one kernel version installed on
your ext3 but are loading a different kernel version from uboot by
using the wrong uImage

What are your boot args? you can find them by typing
printenv
in U-boot

btw U-boot is the bootlader program, so to run commands in it stop it
from booting when it gives you the chance.

Yes, I am getting the same with the latest image. It appears that the
problem is related to network load - ie if I try to download say a
movie file or do a git update then the Ethernet connection will likely
die very quickly (within minutes). But If I bring up the network but
don't specifically use any userland apps that would tax the network,
the Ethernet will stay up for hours before failing.

Ifconfig or /etc/init.d/networking stop, start doesn't resolve the
problem but a reset without physically removing the power will make
the problem go away again for a time.

I'm also seeing a kernel hang when plugging in the DVI lead while the
OS is running, and a problem whereby USB hot-plug doesn't work (only
usb devices seen at power on are fully initialised / work - unplugging
and then plugging the device in again results in a device that isn't
fully recognised / re-initialised). Finally, there appears to be a
memory leak in my OS that causes the beagleboard to run out of memory
after a few days. I don't think any of these are related to the
Ethernet problem - just mentioning them in case others are
experiencing any of the same.

Hi,

I am having this problem when I try to play a video :

gst-launch filesrc location=/home/root/video/foreman.m4v ! qtdemux

I suppose I haven't the file demux.video_00, where can I find what I

Hello,

What type of file is foreman.m4v ? Is this elementary mpeg4 video file
? If yes then you pipeline is not correct. You should be using
something like

gst-launch filesrc location=myfile.m4v ! TIViddec2 codecName=mpeg4dec
engineName=decode ! ximagesink

or

gst-launch filesrc location=myfile.m4v ! typefind ! TIViddec2 ! ximagesink

In addition to this, i suggest you to read
http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php?title=GstTIPlugin_Elements

It wiki page lot of sample examples and element details.

I have my module loads as :

modprobe cmemk phys_start=0x85800000 phys_end=0x86800000
pools=20x4096,8x131072,4x829440,1x5250000,1x1429440,1x256000

modprobe dsplinkk
modprobe lpm_omap3530
modprobe sdmak

Add "--gst-debug=TI*:2" in your pipeline to check for errors

>> gst-launch --gst-debug=TI*:2 filesrc location=myfile.m4v ! TIViddec2 codecName=mpeg4dec
>> engineName=decode ! ximagesink

If the above pipeline reports error during display create then
possibly its issue with kernelcmd line.

My kernel cmdline for 2.6.29-omap1 looks something like:

root@beagleboard:/usr/ti/gst/omap3530# uname -a
Linux beagleboard 2.6.29-omap1 #1 Thu Jul 16 12:43:53 CDT 2009 armv7l unknown

correct cmdline for 2.6.29-omap1 is:

"console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait
omapfb.mode="dvi:640x480@60" vram=12M omapfb.vram="1:4M,2:4M,3:4M"
omapdss.def_disp=lcd mem=88M"

When you use "--gst-debug=TI*:2" and if it says "cannot open engine
decode", try running gst-lauch in the directory where codec-combo is
installed.
e.g. /usr/share/ti-codec-combos
