OpenCV is a computer vision library originally developed by Intel. It is free for commercial and research use under the open source BSD license. The library is cross-platform. It focuses mainly on real-time image processing; as such, if it finds Intel's Integrated Performance Primitives on the system, it will use these commercial optimized routines to accelerate itself. Application OpenCV's application areas include: * 2D and 3D feature toolkits * Egomotion estimation * Face Recognition * Gesture Recognition * Human-Computer Interface (HCI) * Mobile robotics * Motion Understanding * Object Identification * Segmentation and Recognition * Stereopsis Stereo vision: depth perception from 2 cameras * Structure from motion (SFM) * Motion Tracking To support some of the above areas, OpenCV includes a statistical machine learning library that contains: * Boosting * Decision Trees * Expectation Maximization * k-nearest neighbor algorithm * Naive Bayes classifier * Artificial neural networks * Random forest * Support Vector Machine Installing OpenCV on i.MX 51 EVK Board running Ubuntu Linux Assuming that you already have the Ubuntu Linux running on your board, you can use this wiki page to guide you to get your USB camera running on your system in order to use real time image processing features of this library. In a brand new installation of Ubuntu some libraries is not installed by default, so you need to install them by your own hands (use synaptic to do that), here is the list of these libraries: libgtk2.0-dev libjpeg62-dev zlib1g-dev libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libjasper-dev libgst-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev If you already have some of those libraries installed, make sure that is the DEV version. After installing those libraries you can download the stable OpenCV version here. Install it following the procedure below: 1 - untar the opencv package tar -xvzf opencv-1.1pre1.tar.gz  2 - change to OpenCV folder cd opencv-1.1.0  3 - configure the installation enabling gstreamer and letting to compile demo apps later ./configure --with-gstreamer --disable-apps You will get the following results: General configuration ================================================       Compiler:                         g++       CXXFLAGS:       DEF_CXXFLAGS:             -Wall -fno-rtti -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer       PY_CXXFLAGS:               -Wall -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer       OCT_CXXFLAGS:             -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wno-uninitialized -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer        Install path:                      /usr/local  HighGUI configuration ================================================       Windowing system --------------       Use Carbon / Mac OS X:        no       Use gtk+ 2.x:                        yes       Use gthread:                         yes       Image I/O ---------------------       Use ImageIO / Mac OS X:       no       Use libjpeg:                            yes       Use zlib:                                yes       Use libpng:                             yes       Use libtiff:                               yes       Use libjasper:                          yes       Use libIlmImf:                          no             Video I/O ---------------------       Use QuickTime / Mac OS X:     no       Use xine:                                no       Use gstreamer:                        yes       Use ffmpeg:                             no       Use dc1394 & raw1394:     no       Use v4l:                                   yes       Use v4l2:                                 yes       Use unicap:                             no     Wrappers for other languages =========================================       SWIG Python                          no       Octave                                    no       Additional build settings ============================================       Build demo apps                      no Now run make ... 4 - Build OpenCV ./make 5 - Install OpenCV ./sudo make install if all steps above were executed properly, now you can compile the sample applications: 1 - change to samples/c directory cd samples/c 2 - change the build_all script mode to +x chmod +x build_all.sh 3 - run the script ./build_all.sh Now you can test. The results below were taken from the Laplacian filter sample processing in real-time images grabbed from an USB camera: Laplacian filter with USB Camera capture device Also, you can see how is it performance on a 3 windowed application performing color conversion and canny edge detection at the same time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9yQgdABT7c EOF !

Freescale's PF0100 PMIC should have VDDIO power tied to the same supply as the associated I2C supply on MX6. There is a momentary on-chip sneak path on power-up if VDDIO is wired per the i.MX6 SABRE-AI automotive development platform. As a result, I2C power rail P3V3_DELAYED rises prematurely due to backfeed from P3V3 through the I2C port. Note that on SABRE-AI, P3V3 powers up before P3V3_DELAYED. Existing SABRE-AI design: PF0100 VDDIO is wired to P3V3. Corrective action for mass production: Wire PF0100 VDDIO to P3V3_DELAYED; same supply as the associated I2C supplies on MX6 (NVCC_EIM0 and NVCC_GPIO). Laboratory results attached.

(DEPRECATED. Please check this document for Real Time Streaming) A server can be streaming video and a client, in this case a i.MX6 target, is receiving and decoding it. For example, a server with GStreamer and a web camera connected, can be streaming with the following command: $ # Pipeline 1 $ gst-launch v4l2src ! 'video/x-raw-yuv, format=(fourcc)I420, width=(int)1280, height=(int)800' ! ffenc_mpeg4 ! tcpserversink host=$CLIENT_IP port=$PORT and on the target, the client receives, decodes and display with $ # Pipeline 2 $ gst-launch tcpclientsrc host=$SERVER_IP port=$PORT  ! 'video/mpeg, width=(int)1280, height=(int)800, framerate=(fraction)10/1, mpegversion=(int)4, systemstream=(boolean)false' ! vpudec ! mfw_isink The filter caps between the tcpclientsrc and the decoder (vpudec) depend on the sink caps coming from the server encoder (ffenc_mpeg4), so these may change depending on your needs. Running the above pipelines require the environment variables SERVER_IP, CLIENT_IP and PORT. In case you want the i.MX6 to act as a server, just change the video source (either mfw_v4lsrc of v4l2src) and the encoder (vpuenc), so $ # Pipeline 3 $  gst-launch v4l2src  !  'video/x-raw-yuv, format=(fourcc)I420, width=(int)640, height=(int)480, interlaced=(boolean)false, framerate=(fraction)10/1'  ! vpuenc ! tcpserversink host=$CLIENT_IP port=$PORT For testing purposes, set SERVER_IP=127.0.0.1, CLIENT_IP=127.0.0.1 and PORT=500, and run pipeline 3 and 2 in two different consoles. Check with 'top' the  CPU usage and see that VPU is actually doing most of the work.

ESAI module in i.MX6D/I.MX6D/I.MX6DL/I.MX6S supports several RESET funtions: Reset ESAI Core, Reset both Transmitter and Receiver, Reset Transmitter individually, Reset Receiver individually, Reset Transmitter FIFO and Reset Receiver FIFO. Below is a simple diagram for these RESET functions, which shows reset object and related register configurations. 1.Reset ESAI Core After setting ESAI_ECT ERST bit to be 1, ESAI core and configuration registers will be reset, but Transmitter and Recevier FIFOs can't be reset by the operation. 2. Reset both Transmitter and Receiver After setting ESAI_PCRC & ESAI_PRRC to be 0x000, Transmitter and Receiver can both be reset, The RESET is also called "Personal Reset" in it's reference manual. About PCRC & PRRC bits functionality, we can see the table: From the table, ESAI_PCRC=0x000 and ESAI_PRRC=0x000 will make ESAI disconnet external ESAI pins, and ESAI's Tranmitter and Receiver can't communicate with external audio codec.  See ESAI_PCRC and ESAI_PRRC register below: ---ESAI_PCRC register ---ESAI_PRRC register There are 12 bits in each register to contorl "DISCONNECTION" OR "CONNECTION" with ESAI pins. So for normal operations of ESAI, these 2 registers can't be changed. 3.Reset Transmitter & Receiver individually By setting ESAI_TCR[TPR]=1, Transmitter can be reset individually, and not affect Receiver. By setting ESAI_RCR[RPR]=1, Receiver can be reset individually, and not affect Transmitter . In reference manual, the reset is called "personal reset / individual reset", actually they means the same thing: --Reset Transmitter individually. --Reset Receiver individually. 4.Reset Transmitter FIFO and Reset Receiver FIFO ---By setting ESAI_TFCR[TFR]=1, Tranmitter FIFIO can be reset. ---By setting ESAI_RFCR[RFR]=1, Receiver FIFO can be reset. The Reset requires ESAI is operational, which means at least one pin is defined as an ESAI pin. NXP TIC team Weidong Sun

Display on LVDS0 or LVDS1 is normal, but some customer need  larger screen and they need the dual LVDS work on the same time. In another word, it is to use the dual 8 connection. Here I give the simple introduction on this. Environment Board: MCIMX6Q-SDP (Or the board customer design) BSP:  Linux or Android BSP provided by Freescale Screen: M190PW01-V8 19(Take this as example) Steps: 1\ Hardware connection Make sure the hardware connection is right. The 4 pairs of difference signals on both LVDS0 and LVDS1 work, but in our reference board MCIMX6Q-SDP only 3 pairs of difference signals work. To make this screen working well the connection must be proper connect. Take the screen M190PW01-V8 19 as a example, the connection is as follow: 2\ Software modify Here we can know the screen works on the RGB24 mode not the RGB666, as the connection is already right. So the next step is to modify the code. As customers use differently screens, they have to porting the screen driver first.  About porting customers need to modify the  ldb.c  according to the datasheet of the screen in BSP. The parameters and timing should be set right.  Also the board.c need to be modified, RGB24 mode should also be set. About the porting Lvds screen steps, details you can refer to the Porting LVDS LCD With Low Resolution to i.MX6  in our community. 3\ Command special in u-boot After porting success the LVDS  and build the BSP. The run the images built on the board then boot up the board. In the u-boot the command should be set, about the display section is : video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,LDB-1080P60,if=RGB24 ldb=spl0. The default BSP provided by Freescale is support dual LVDS display, but the display mode should be right so it can work well. Hope this can give some help to you.

After successful downloading of script , DDR will be initialised. 6. Now connect JTAG cable , and load u-boot.bin image using load_image command from JTAG to appropriate address, for imx6q sabresd board it is 0x17800000. 7. Once image is downloaded successfully, you can resume from same address using resume command like resume 0x178000000 For custom boards, you can use xls provided by NXP to generate inc file for custom board which can be used for loading into DDR stress test tool to initalise DDR. I am using Arm olimex JTAG debugger for debugging. This document was generated from the following discussion: Loading u-boot.bin unsing JTAG on imx6q-sabresd board

Hi, My board is imx6dl_sabreauto and I use android4.4.2 source!The system stop at "Freeing init memory", when the system boot. I found the boot message no have follow message: mmc0: new high speed DDR MMC card at address 0001 mmcblk0: mmc0:0001 SEM08G 7.39 GiB mmcblk0boot0: mmc0:0001 SEM08G partition 1 2.00 MiB mmcblk0boot1: mmc0:0001 SEM08G partition 2 2.00 MiB input: WM8962 Beep Generator as /devices/platform/imx-i2c.0/i2c-0/0-001a/input/input7 mmcblk0: p1 p2 p3 < p5 p6 p7 p8 > p4 mmcblk0: p4 size 13336576 extends beyond EOD, truncated asoc: wm8962 <-> imx-ssi.1 mapping ok input: wm8962-audio DMIC as /devices/platform/soc-audio.5/sound/card0/input8 input: wm8962-audio Headphone Jack as /devices/platform/soc-audio.5/sound/card0/input9 mmcblk0boot1: unknown partition table Please help me!

Currently, we meet an issue that some jpeg pictures can't be displayed on  imx53 platform by command "gst-launch filesrc location=JPEGFILE ! jpegdec ! freeze ! mfw_isink", the system will meet application crash. So we did investigation on this, found imx6 aslo has such issue.   We found that the issue happen on specific jpeg pictures, the width & height is not 8 pixels alignment.   After track the code ,  found that the jpeg decoder send the width and height to isink plugin, also it send a outsize calculate by the width and height with algorithm that will do 2 pixels,4 pixles,8pixles alignment(I420_SIZE (width, height)). The isink use a different algorithm to calculate the decoder buffer, this size is always smaller than the size pass down by the jpeg decoder , in later memory copy, the code copy a large memory to smaller memory, it's out of boundery, corrupt the memoryand cause the application fail.   So we make a little change, to malloc the larger size to avoid the out of boundry. Original Attachment has been moved to: fix-8pixels-unalignment-jpeg-display-crash.patch.zip

Question: How to enable touch functions on LVDS1/SabreAI base board? what should be soldered in order to connect the signals to i2c what to add in the Linux kernel (board-mx6q_sabreauto.c) BTW.: Why did we leave these disconnected? Is there any conflict on i2c? Answer: You can mount R305 and R306 to support touch on LVDS1, no code modification was needed. The only limitation is that the two LVDS's touch can't be connected to same I2C port, because they are using the same I2C address. Question: How is this working because the touch interrupt signal from LVDS1 called LCD1_TOUCH_INT_B is connected to pin21 on J44 on base board which is left floating (TP1) on CPU card P1A connector? Are both LVDS needed to work in the same time. Answer: That's the problem, the LVDS1 touch interrupt pin hasn't been connected to IMX6 CPU. Maybe you can use the SabreSD board, the two touch are ready on that board.
