When I use QMediaPlayer (Qt5.1.1) to play a FHD video, the CPU (imx6dl) usage turns very high and the output is not fluid and also has some frame drop. I found a patch that claims to solve this problem (links below are taking about the same thing) : adding zero-copy-QSGVideoNode for imx6 - Qt by Digia https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08580.html After patch appliance and recompilation of Qt Library and program rebuild, the performance issue remains the same. Does anybody know how to enable this property correctly? Have I missed some points or mandatory steps? Any comment will be appreciated, thanks!

In every i.MX BSP you will find a pre-compiled binary to flash on your board, but if you need to recompile, this tutorial will be useful. Redboot source code and pre-built images for many platforms are available on Linux Board Support Package (BSP). As an example, let's compile redboot version 2009_10 that comes with Freescale Linux BSP.   For detailed information about Redboot, check <redboot_folder>/doc Locate the file ecostools.tar.gz and decompress it on /opt directory. (Create this folder if it is not there) $ cd /opt $ sudo tar zxvf <redboot_folder>/tools/ecos_config_tools.tar.gz $ sudo tar zxvf <redboot_folder>/tools/arm-2008q1.tar.gz This creates /opt/ecostools directory with two subdirectories: arm-2008q1 -- GNU tools for compiling, linking, etc. tools -- mainly to have ecosconfig utility program Add /opt/arm-2008q1/bin and /opt/tools/bin to your environment PATH variable. $ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/arm-2008q1/bin:/opt/tools/bin Generating RedBoot Image Decompress the ecos-trunk-080727.tar.bz2 base line source code into <redboot_folder>/src. There should be a 'packages' directory under <redboot_folder>/src/ecos if it is done correctly. $ tar xjvf ecos-trunk-080727.tar.bz2 Go to ecos subdirectory and apply the patches; $ cd ecos $ bunzip2 -c patch-redboot-200910-base.bz2 | patch -p1 The above command assumes the patch file is under the same directory as the <redboot_folder>/src/ecos. Specify the path name for the patch file if necessary. Apply the patch for specific platform. In this case, the used patch is: patch-redboot-200834-mx3.bz2 $ patch-redboot-200910-mx3.bz2 | patch -p1 Define the ECOS_REPOSITORY. On <redboot_folder>, put the entire (absolute) path to redboot folder. I.e. ~/<redboot_folder>/src/ecos/packages $ export ECOS_REPOSITORY=<redboot_folder>/src/ecos/packages To build redboot (for i.MX31 in this example), create a new folder in order to have a clean build: $ mkdir new_redboot $ cd new_redboot $ ecosconfig new mx31_3stack redboot $ ecosconfig import $ECOS_REPOSITORY/hal/arm/mx31/3stack/current/misc/redboot_ROMRAM.ecm $ ecosconfig tree $ make This creates the Redboot image (redboot.bin) under install/bin directory. This image can run from either SDRAM or flash. Note: You can change the board MACH-TYPE at this file: src/ecos/packages/hal/arm/mx27/ads/current/cdl/hal_arm_board.cdl

The ARD has the VGA output hw multiplexed with the on board Eth controlling, on jumpers J14 and J16. If using the VGA out one option for network is to use an USB/Eth adapter. To enable this (tested on BSP 11.05 - 2.6.35): 1. Find out the driver for the adapter you are using. You can connect it to your Linux host for that. $ lsusb ... Bus 002 Device 017: ID 0b95:772a ASIX Electronics Corp. ... $ dmesg | tail ... [3799653.662846] eth2: register 'asix' at usb-0000:00:1d.7-2, ASIX AX88772 USB 2.0 Ethernet, 00:60:6e:00:02:7a ... 2. Enable the driver on the target's kernel: - ./ltib -c - On Ltib menu, select "[*] Configure the Kernel" - On the kernel menuconfig select the driver, in this case: CONFIG_USB_NET_AX8817X located at: -> Device Drivers                                                       -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])         -> USB Network Adapters             -> Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework (USB_USBNET [=y]) 3. Program the kernel to SD: sudo dd if=rootfs/boot/uImage of=/dev/sdd bs=512 seek=2k 4. Set U-boot to load the kernel from the SD and NFS: MX53-ARD-DDR3 U-Boot > set bootcmd 'run bootcmd_sd_nfs' MX53-ARD-DDR3 U-Boot > set bootcmd_sd_nfs 'run bootargs_nfs;run load_kernel;bootm' MX53-ARD-DDR3 U-Boot > set load_kernel 'mmc read 0 ${loadaddr} 0x800 0x1f00' Here you may change the ip from "dhcp" to a fixed address if you are connected directly to host.

   Recently, some customers encountered the problem that compilation failed when compiling l4.14.98-2.0.0 fsl-imx-waylan + fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx in Ubuntu 18.04 environment. In fact, compiling QT image is a very time-consuming process, especially in the process of compiling, errors need to be handled, which will be more time-consuming. The following compilation took four days to complete. 1. Environment Linux Host : ubuntu 18.04 LTS Virtual Machine: VMware workstatin Player 12 images: fsl-imx-waylan + fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx Hardware: imx8mqevk Linux BSP verison: L4.14.98-2.0.0 2.

Downloading Yocto BSP according to steps in i.MX_Yocto_Project_User's_Guide.pdf 5．Compiling L4.14.98-2.0.0 BSP # cd ~/imx-yocto-bsp # DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland MACHINE=imx8mqevk source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-wayland # bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx In the process of compilation, there have been many "fetch errors", which are caused by disconnection or timeout of network connection. We just need to run the bitmake command again in the build Wayland subdirectory to continue the compilation. # bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx          Fetching errors below were what I encountered:          The following picture is to re-run “bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx” after fetch errors occurred.          In order to improve the speed of compilation , I re-configured vmware player, assigning 6 CPU cores for Ubuntu.          Compilation is a long and arduous process. It took 4 days to compile normally with error handling. Finally, the compilation was completed. NXP TIC Team Weidong Sun 2019-11-02

The ads7846 driver that is distributed with yocto 1.6 (Daisy, Linux 3.10.17) does not support device tree configuration hooks. Attached is a patch for the ads7846 touchscreen driver to support device tree. Also added to the driver are hooks to ignore the requirement for a voltage regulator configuration.

Question: After a JTAG Reset with his GHS MULTI Probe on i.MX6 Hardware, read the SRC_SRSR register the corresponding reset source bits (JTAG reset) are not set. The contents: SRSR = 0x1      WARM Boot = 0x0      jtag_sw_rst = 0x0      jtag_rst_b = 0x0      wdog_sw_rst = 0x0      ipp_user_reset_b = 0x0      cpu_reset_b = 0x0      ipp_reset_b = 0x1 Tried to reproduce this with my DSTRAM probe, and issued a "reset reset.system" command in DS-5 Debugger but Program Counter stays at current vaule. Obviously my SRSR bits don't change either. Answer: Seems " jtag_rst_b" is a HW reset, please check the connection between JTAG port and i.Mx6 JTAG_TRST pin. And confirm the waveform on rest pin when JTAG reset run.
