iMX8M Plus: Linux kernel hangs when video playback is stopped

iMX8M Plus: Linux kernel hangs when video playback is stopped

Hi all,

I have the 8MPLUSLPD4-EVK Evaluation Kit and I am trying video
playback of mp4 files. I can play videos using gstreamer, but hangs up
on Ctrl-c.

i.MX Yocto Project(LF5.10.9_1.0.0) is running on EVK.

I have attached log, but the log may not be output.

The video is as follows:
https://github.com/bower-media-samples/big-buck-bunny-1080p-60fps-30s/raw/master/video.mp4

The excute command is as follows:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=. /video.mp4 ! decodebin ! queue ! waylandsink

Note that this does not occur with the i.MX Yocto Project(L5.4.47_2.2.0).

Regards,

mizo

I couldn't reproduce this issue on my imx8mp lpddr4 board, see the log file:

Hi, @joanxie

Thank you for the reply.

I reconfirmed that it does not always fail.

The results is as follows:
- Repeated play and stop(Ctrl-c) several times will fail
- Playing the video to the end(about 30 seconds) always fails

The excute command is as follows:
gplay-1.0 video.mp4

Regards,

mizo

1) how many times did you test? I couldn't reproduce this on my board

2) I have finished playing this video without error

Hi, @joanxie

> 1) how many times did you test? I couldn't reproduce this on my board
When played to the end, it is as follows:
try: 10
fail: 10
success: 0

When stoped with Ctrl-c, it is as follows:
try: 50
fail: 45
success: 5

I tried not to use the waylandsink, but this also fails.

root@imx8mpevk:~# gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=./video.mp4 ! decodebin ! queue ! filesink location=/dev/null

I want to make sure it's the same software.

everything is OK on my board, did you use nxp lpddr4 evk board? or the third party company board?

Thank you for checking.

I use nxp lpddr4 evk board.

https://www.nxp.com/design/development-boards/i-mx-evaluation-and-development-boards/evaluation-kit-... 

The following stickers are affixed to the board：
SCH-46370 REV A1
TDA7608
700-46370 REV X1

I tried using the following pre-built image file, but an error occurred.

[joanxie]

my board is SCH-46370 REV A3, do you mind testing other bsp version?

[daisukemizobuch]

> do you mind testing other bsp version?
An error occurs versions are:
- LF5.10.9_1.0.0
- L5.10.35_2.0.0
- L5.4.70_2.3.2

No error occurs versions are:
- L5.4.47_2.2.0

I tested each 5 times.

What is the difference revision?
- SCH-46370 REV A1
- SCH-46370 REV A3

mizo

[joanxie]

sorry I don't know the difference, we have released new bsp, maybe you can test again
