Hi,

I am using jb4.2.2_1.1.0. Hardware IMX6q.

I want to decode HD (1280x720) H264, and file format is mkv.

I am getting following error while want to play that file using Gallery.

are you using the recommended kernel command line?

Karina

I am not able to access the link.

I am using following kernel command line

console=ttymxc0,115200 androidboot.console=ttymxc0 vmalloc=400M video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,LDB-1080P50-rbt-w432,if=RGB24,bpp=32 ldb=spl0 fbmem=24M fb0base=0x27b00000 enable_wait_mode=off root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 init=/init androidboot.hardware=freescale ldo_active=off pmem=64M lvds=spwg

Ok. You should be using a custom board.

Was you able to reproduce the same issue using imx6qsabresd?

Hi,

Daiane Angolini

Yes, I am using custom board.

I have prepared a simple application which is running in a for loop and doing memory allocation, This test is able to allocate memory.

I have verified that this is not memory fragmentation issue.

I will check this on SabareSD board.

Thanks
