gstreamer framework on i.mx53loco

YuLin — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 22:18:51 GMT

I'm using i.mx53loco.

In addition, the kernel and the rootfs come from linaro.org.

The rootfs is a 11.06 ubuntu from linaro.

I try to install some packages/softwares related to i.mx53 into it.

I recompile xorg's imx module because of ABI problem. This is OK.

Then built gstreamer for it according to http://boundarydevices.com/blogs/building-gstreamer-plugins-under-ubuntu.

After all, the video play has several problem.

1. video play window did not display on X but framebuffer. Even if on framebuffer, usually the play result is black.

2. totem and gplay start very slow. My rootfs is on usb disk, other application start very fast.

Guys, can you help me review the gstreamer build?

Thank you very much.

> the kernel and the rootfs come from linaro.org. Which linaro kernel exactly? The one that I tried did not seem to have drivers for e.g. the VPU.

Sorry, do you mean the kernel driver for VPU? I did not check it.

I will do it next Monday.

I just installed some 'deb' package from freescale BSP 11.05.

Hello Yulin,

- How did you get a Freescale BSP 11.05 !?
I am only aware of Freescale i.MX53 1101 and 1103 BSP.

- Remark: Seems that Freescale have removed its i.MX53 1103 BSP last
week, or so. Not to worst, since the Freescale i.MX53 1103 BSP seems to
be broken in the Kernel video modules. i.e.: Was never able
to get any working video when using it.

> do you mean the kernel driver for VPU? Yes I mean the kernel driver for the VPU. It was definitely not present in the Linaro kernel source tree that I tried to build. (I don't know what their plan is for supporting drivers like this; I have read a lot of Linaro blurbs but I'm still not sure what they are actually going to do, and their "vendor landing teams" seem not to work in public.)
