Hardfp version of fslcodec

[drf]

Hello,

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a hardfp release of libfslcodec. In the last provided package, there's only a reference to a fhw directory with nothing in it (except a single plugin, I think), and in the exe directory there are all test applications also compiled in the fhw variant, which can't of course run because of the lack of fhw libraries.

Thanks

Hi Dario,

You should try the latest libfslcodec version, from Yocto BSP repo:

wget http://www.freescale.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO//libfslcodec-4.0.5.bin

Hope this helps

Hi,

we're running the actual latest version (http://www.freescale.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO//libfslcodec-4.0.7.bin ) and, just as 4.0.5, it has no fhw binaries:

libfslcodec-4.0.5$ ls release/lib/

The fhw directory contains the following:

libfslcodec-4.0.5$ ls release/lib/fhw/

lib_peq_arm11_elinux.so

Whereas the exe directory contains, as stated before, tests compiled to run both against softfp and hardfp versions:

libfslcodec-4.0.5$ ls release/exe/

The softfp libraries, of course, are not executable on a hardfp system. Try running gst-fsl-plugins on a hardfp installation of your favorite linux distribution, and you will see that beepdec/uniaudio will not be able to decode anything, due to the fact that softfp binaries are not loadable. On a softfp installation, everything will work just fine instead. And, of course, any _fhw test will not be able to run since it can't find the correct library to link to.
