Abstract: Browsers and mobile applications are using WebRTC for audio and video Real-Time Communications (RTC) via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose. WebRTC based web application provides rich, real-time multimedia features (think video chat) on the web, without any plugins, downloads or installs.It’s purpose is to help build a strong RTC platform that works across multiple web browsers, across multiple platforms. iWave has developed WebRTC based Peer to Peer audio and video communication on i.Mx6 Qseven development platform. iWave is using FireFox web browser and its in built webrtc  api’s for the communication. Architecture of WebRTC Detailed Description: iWave’s i.Mx6 Q7 platform has Quad core processor which can operate up to 1 GHz speed/core. i.MX6 CPU is NXP’s latest achievement in integrated multimedia application processors which is part of growing multimedia-focused products that offers high performance processing and are optimized for lowest power consumption. iWave’s i.Mx6 Q7 platform supports 1GB RAM in 64bit mode with eMMC memory of 4GB which can be used both as Mass storage and boot device. i.Mx6 Q7 also supports Ethernet port which is integrated i.Mx6 CPU and connected to the external Gigabit Ethernet PHY on SOM. iWave’s Application consist of two components – clients and server. Peer to Peer communication is done between two clients. Server is used for registering the clients and to keep the necessary set up for two clients to communicate. After setting up, the server is not having any role in the communication. Client Application: Client application is very simple web application using WebRTC to transport audio and video between two clients. The application will enable one client to "dial" the other client and make a video call (with audio).This application only works between two clients. It can be run using Firefox browser Server: The server brokers the initial connection between the two clients. Once a connection is established between the clients, their communication continues in a peer to peer mode: none of the video data is routed through the server. Working Process of WebRTC Peer to Peer communication Audio Codec: Audio codec supported by WebRTC is OPUS codec .OPUS codec Supports constant and variable bit rate encoding from 6 kbit/s to 510 kbit/s, frame sizes from 2.5 ms to 60 ms, and various sampling rates from 8 kHz (with 4 kHz bandwidth) to 48 kHz. The Acoustic Echo Canceler present in WebRTC removes the acoustic echo resulting from the voice being played out into the active microphone. Noise reduction component removes certain types of background noise usually associated with VoIP. Video Codec: Video codec supported by WebRTC is VP8. The VP8 video codec is well suited for RTC since it is designed for low latency. WebRTC has dynamic video jitter buffer for video which conceal the effects of jitter and packet loss on overall video quality. Image enhancement removes the video noise from image captured from camera. WebRTC call: A Screenshot of WebRTC peer to peer audio and video communication Benefits: WebRTC is In-built in Firefox browser. Improved video and audio streaming. VP8 video codec and OPUS audio codec provides much less data transmission without packet loss. WebRTC based Peer to Peer communication can be run from firefox  browser without any plugin or software installation. Audio and Video streaming can be done local networks.

Why Freescale Sabre Smart i.MX6 Solo X SD2 slot do not detect SD card insertion / removal while SD3 does? 1.   How SDIO detection works on i.MX6?      First, we checked how the i.MX6 CPU detect SDIO card insertion / removal.      Freescale i.MX6 Solo X Reference Manual (IMX6SXRM.pdf) Section 68.4.7 "Card Insertion and Removal Detection" says that;           "The uSDHC uses either the DATA3 pin or the CD_B pin to detect card      insertion or removal. When there is no card on the MMC/SD bus, the      DATA3 will be pulled to a low voltage level by default"     "When the DATA3 pin is not used for card detection (for example,      it is implemented in GPIO), the CD_B pin must be connected for card      detection. Whether DATA3 is configured for card detection or not,      the CD_B pin is always a reference for card detection." Based on this description, It seems that DATA3 is used for card detection. But it isn't. 2.  Implementation on Sabre i.MX6 SoloX We checked voltage on DATA3(PIN1) on both SD2 and SD3 slot when card is not inserted. Both were 3.3V. Neither SD2 nor SD3 DATA3 was "pulled to a low voltage level by default".      Then, we checked CD pin. In the case of SD3, it was 3.3V when card is not inserted, then fall to 0V when card is inserted. That cause card detection. In the case of SD2, CD pin was all time 0V. Sabre i.MX6SX Schematic confirms that CD pin of SD2 slot is not connected to anywhere (see attached image).                                                     Sabre SoloX SD2                                                                                                                                                               Sabre SoloX SD3 "CD(Card Detect)" is not a SDIO pin. SDIO has only 9pins, where 9 DAT2 1 DAT3 2 CMD 3 VSS1 (GND) 4 VDD 5 CLK 6 VSS2 (GND) 7 DAT0 8 DAT1 - CD (Card Detection) and WP (Write Protect) are function of SD slot connector, not function of SDIO bus. 3.  Implementation on Sabre i.MX6Q We checked i.MX6Q Sabre Smart. Again, DATA3 (pin1) voltage was 3.3V both on SD2 and SD3. Schematic shows there are register pattern prepared to pull down DATA3, but both R549 on SD3 and R667 SD3 are not populated (DNP) as default.                                                           Sabre i.MX6Q SD2                                                                                                                                                     Sabre i.MX6Q SD3  4.  Conclusion From this we can infer that Freescale reference design (Sabre i.MX6Q and i.MX6SX) do not use DATA3 for SDIO detection, as it appears to have been described in the reference manual. Both Sabre i.MX6Q and i.MX6SX solely relies on CD(Card Detect) signal from SDIO connector. In the case of SD2 slot on i.MX6SX, CD signal is not connected to anywhere.There where unpopulated DATA3 pull-down register pattern prepared on Sabre i.MX6Q, but it is omitted from i.MX6SX. Which makes card insertion / removal detection on Sabre i.MX6SX SD2 slot difficult.
