In order to create this Ogg Theora encoder example you need to add libogg, libvorbis and libtheora to your system. Download these libs from http://www.theora.org/downloads/ : libogg-1.1.3, libvorbis-1.2.0 and libtheora-1.0.tar.bz2 Copy them to /opt/ltib/pkgs Create the directories ltib/dist/lfs-5.1/libogg, ltib/dist/lfs-5.1/libvorbis, ltib/dist-5.1/lfs/libtheora. Copy these spec files to its respective directories: File:Libogg.gz File:Libvorbis.gz File:Libtheora.gz Execute this sequence to compile and install these libs: $ ./ltib -p libogg.spec -m prep $ ./ltib -p libogg.spec -m scbuild $ ./ltib -p libogg.spec -m scdeploy $ ./ltib -p libvorbis.spec -m prep $ ./ltib -p libvorbis.spec -m scbuild $ ./ltib -p libvorbis.spec -m scdeploy $ ./ltib -p libtheora.spec -m prep $ ./ltib -p libtheora.spec -m scbuild $ ./ltib -p libtheora.spec -m scdeploy Now download and compile yuv2theora.c encoder example: File:Yuv2theora.gz $ ./ltib -m shell LTIB> gcc yuv2theora.c -o yuv2theora `pkg-config --libs --cflags theora` In this example we used a video sample (YUV420) on CIF format: http://140.116.72.80/~jhlin5/ns2/yuv_to_avi/paris_cif.yuv Update: All these libraries were added on LTIB Savannah CVS, then you just need to use them and compile the above code.

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.

Video in Host Side Converting images (png, jpg, etc) to YUV format ffmpeg -f image2 -i test.png -pix_fmt yuv420p test.yuv Converting AVI files to YUV format To convert AVI to YUV you can use the lav2yuv program. In Ubuntu Linux this program is in mjpegtools package. This is the way to convert: lav2yuv myfile.avi > myfile.yuv Converting YUV video files to AVI (DivX) Use the ffmpeg tool: ffmpeg -s 176x144 -i kuuba_maisema_25fps_qcif.yuv -vcodec mpeg4 -sameq -aspect 4:3 ~/kuuba.avi You need to specify the video dimensions (176 × 144), the video codec (mpeg4), and the aspect ratio (4:3). Converting MP4 to AVI Use the mencoder tool: mencoder Bike1.mp4 -ovc lavc -oac lavc -o NewBike1.avi

This is a simple known-how for how to enable KASAN on L4.14.98 with i.MX8/8X and also a collection of related patches for fixing issues reported by KASAN.   Enable KASAN: It's very simple, just enable "CONFIG_KASAN" in kernel configuration. Besides this, adjusting the kernel's loading address is also required, due to KASAN (which will alloc more memory as a "tracker" for each allocation). For e.g., on imx8qxp MEK, we need to change the kernel loadaddr in uboot:     0x80280000 --> 0xE0280000 through uboot env: setenv loadaddr 0xE0280000 After this, it supposed to be working.   KASAN related patches on L4.14.98: KASAN will do detection/sanitizing for any memory allocation/access. In case of L4.14.98 on i.MX8/8X, there're several "BUG" reported by KASAN in default BSP. The attached patches are a collection for these issues.    Note: not all "BUG" reported by KASAN are really bug. Most of them are just some programming rule related problems and may not really cause memory access violation.

The default BSP is compiled based on the Yocto project, which is a streamlined production-level Linux BSP. However, for users who are accustomed to the Ubuntu environment, especially ROS users, the operation of Yocto will be relatively complicated. This article will introduce how to make an Ubuntu BSP for iMX8QM and demonstrate how to use ROS.   A complete Ubuntu BSP includes u-boot, Linux kernel and Ubuntu rootfs. We will use u-boot and Linux kernel in Yocto BSP official 6.1V BSP, and rootfs will still use ubuntu-base-18.04.4-base-arm64. The compilation method comes from the NXP forum. First download ubuntu-base-18.04.4-base-arm64.tar.gz from the link above, and then unzip it. $ mkdir ~/ubuntu-rootfs $ sudo tar vxf ubuntu-base-18.04.4-base-arm64.tar.gz -C ubuntu-rootfs Copy the script file and create ch-mount.sh. $ sudo chmod a+x ./ch-mount.sh The download above is a basic Ubuntu-base file system, which is missing many commonly used tools and requires us to install it. For this purpose, install the qemu-user-static software on your computer to simulate the arm64 operating environment. $ sudo apt install qemu-user-static Mount the Ubuntu-base file system and then operate directly in the arm64 environment. $ sudo ./ch-mount.sh -m ubuntu-rootfs/ Add a DNS server, such as 8.8.8.8, or other available DNS server IP. # echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf Install relevant software, of course you can also add other software. # apt install language-pack-en-base sudo ssh net-tools \ network-manager iputils-ping rsyslog \ bash-completion htop resolvconf dialog \ vim nano v4l-utils alsa-utils git gcc \ less resolvconf autoconf autopoint libtool \ bison flex gtk-doc-tools glib-2.0 \ libglib2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libatk1.0-dev kmod pciutils -y  Create a user and set a password, here the user name is ubuntu # useradd -s '/bin/bash' -m -G adm,sudo ubuntu # passwd ubuntu # passwd root # echo 'apalis-imx8' > /etc/hostname At this point basic Ubuntu has been configured. # exit $ sudo ./ch-mount.sh -u ubuntu-rootfs/  After the installation is complete, use the ubuntu user to log in to the debugging serial port, and the password is ubuntu. When starting for the first time after installation, it will wait for a long time due to initialization, and then enter the configuration interface including region, user settings, etc. Turn on Ethernet and set DNS server IP.  ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0 up ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ sudo dhclient eth0 ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf Start Weston: ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ sudo -E weston --tty=1 & ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ weston-flower ROS test You can install ROS programs very conveniently in Ubuntu system. Please refer to the instructions below for details http://wiki.ros.org/melodic/Installation/Ubuntu http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ sudo apt install lsb-core ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list' ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver 'hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80' --recv-key C1CF6E31E6BADE8868B172B4F42ED6FBAB17C654 ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ sudo apt update ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ sudo apt install ros-melodic-desktop  Run the following commands on three SSH terminals to simulate communication between ROS nodes. ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.sh ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ roscore ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.sh ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ rosrun roscpp_tutorials talker ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.sh ubuntu@mx8QM:~$ rosrun roscpp_tutorials listener Due to driver limitations, iMX8 does not support Xorg, so ROS's default graphical interface tools such as rqt cannot be used directly.        

When configuring i.MX6 IPU IDMAC CPMEM parameters or debugging it, it's hard to find the value of a parameter inside the 160 bits word. This web tool separates the 160 bits words into parameters making it easier to check their values. Link: i.MX Tools 

On behalf of Gopise Yuan. In case some customer may make mistake in mechanical design, they may need to flip/mirror the screen. DPR in DPU can do this in a simple way. This patch demonstrate how to enable VFLIP and HFLIP in DPR to do a V+H flip (=180 rotate) of the screen
