As i.MX6 empowers the Surveillance applications, iWave has developed a system that brings together video streams from four cameras on four i.MX6 Pico ITX SBCs placed in four different locations through Ethernet. The fifth Pico ITX captures the video streams from the Ethernet and displays on a single HDMI monitor as indicated in the following block diagram. The system requires five i.MX6 Dual Pico-ITX boards connected with LAN. Each of four boards are connected with cameras which capture the video, encode and streams it as RTP packets. The fifth board receives four streams of RTP packets and displays to four slots in HDMI. Operating system used is Yocto of Dora Version. MIPI or CSI cameras can be used for the video capture (tested with 5MP MIPI camera). All the four cameras share the screen equally and the display resolution of each camera is 854x480. For ease of demonstration we have used one Pico-ITX per camera, however for real life scenario and to keep down costs there is a possiblity that each i.MX6 Pico-ITX SBC can be connected to two cameras. Each pico-itx with i.MX6 quad/dual core can capture video from two cameras simultaneously. The same streaming procedure needs to be followed for this scenario too with it appropriate IP and Port number. For more details please reach to mktg@iwavesystems.com

Dear All, We used the MCIMX6X4EVM10AB CTBD1607 2N19K + L3.10.53 and there was no problem. However, MCIMX6X4EVM10AB CTBD1607 2N19K is discontinued. so, we replaced with MCIMX6X4EVM10AB CTBE1646 3N19K. we were replaced I.MX6 soloX 2N19K to 3N19K on same board and then we were faced to internal boot fail issue after download sucess using MFG tool. We used NAND Booting, so we using MFG tool to download. and download is always success. and then we changed the BOOT_MODE from '01' to '10' using the fuse switch. and system power on..... Internal Booting does not work and it goes directly to Serial Download and it is caught as USB Device on PC. BOOT_CFG uses '0000' In case MCIMX6X4EVM10AB CTBD1607 2N19K, both of L3.10.53 and L4.1.15 are successfully booted by Internal nand. MCIMX6X4EVM10AB CTBE1646 3N19K, both L3.10.53 and L4.1.15 were successfully downloaded using MFG but There is does not work Internal nand booting. I saw the document 'i.MX 6SoloX Application Processor Silicon Revision 1.2 to 1.3 Comparison' I could not find any part to change as software. I.MX6 Solo After changing from Rev1.2 to Rev1.3, is there any part that needs to be modified as S / W or H / W?

'Multi-core Processor Technology’ will be the key in the development of next generation of advanced computing devices. With major silicon vendor Freescale bringing multi-core application processors for the mainstream embedded devices, there is need to have the multi-core processing support in the embedded operating systems. Windows Embedded Compact 7(WEC7) will enhance the performance of ARM based multi-core platforms with the addition of Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) support. iWave systems has done a SMP support verification on its Freescale’s i.MX6 Quad core processor running WEC7 platform. Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) support in WEC7: The most important update in the Windows Embedded Compact 7 is the support for Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) which takes the full advantage of multi-core systems providing a performance boost when the multithreaded applications are being used. The multi-core processor platforms such as Freescale’s i.MX6Q which has 4 identical CPU cores, can effectively take advantage of SMP support in WEC7. SMP enabled kernel can use several CPU cores simultaneously and distribute the execution of different processes and threads to them. The number of available cores can be determined by SMP API from the application – the processing and assignment of a thread to a specially selected core is also possible. Read More..

In this new version, the experts at GuruCE have achieved some major improvements in performance and added quite a lot of new functionality: 4.75x faster than our previous release This is >6x faster than our competitor's BSP... Added full HDMI support, including display auto-detection, hot-plug and dynamic resolution changes in CE This means you can plug in a 1360x768 monitor and have the CE desktop shown in that resolution, then unplug the monitor and plug in a 1920x1080 monitor and CE will dynamically change resolution and show the desktop in 1920x1080 resolution, all this of course without the purple line on the left (a long-standing problem in all the other iMX6 BSPs available). HDMI, LVDS and LCD display output is now configurable in the bootloader This means you can have one kernel image for all. Just go into the bootloader menu and select which display you are using at which resolution and launch the kernel. Simple as that! Added support for DMA on all UARTs Full RX & TX DMA support on UART1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Upgraded to the latest Vivante GPU GALCORE driver v5.0.11 (25762) And we added all the tutorials and test code as well. Together with the amazing performance increase of this release you can now enjoy 110+ fps in full-screen 1920x1080 (and 350+ fps windowed) for OpenGL-ES 1.1/2.0! The OpenVG spinning tiger sample is now so fast you only see a blur, and we fully support OpenCL on Dual and Quad of course. Now asynchronously loading drivers for faster boot Added free downloadable demo kernel for Congatec-QMX6 (Dual/Quad, 1 GB module) on a QKIT-ARM Maximum CPU temperature at rest: 45°C / 113°F Maximum CPU temperature while running OpenGL-ES 2.0 reflecting ball: 65°C / 149°F This is not nearly as low as we would like, but it's a lot better already. Our next release will focus on power consumption and heat generation reductions. Improved network performance The performance improvements also make Ethernet throughput a lot better. We're only halfway to reaching the theoretical maximum possible on the iMX6 of ~45 Mbyte/s (it's on our list of things to fix), but at least Ethernet speeds are out of the KByte range now (tested using NETIO on WEC7 & WEC2013): NETIO - Network Throughput Benchmark, Version 1.32 (C) 1997-2012 Kai Uwe Rommel TCP connection established.

Today, technology goes forward and we get some new possibilities in the Online TV viewing. iWave’s i.MX6 Pico-ITX board with Jelly Bean Android provides one such solution. Today we can watch online TV in the Browser that will run in the i.MX6 Pico-ITX Single Board Computer. This uses Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP). RTMP was initially a proprietary protocol developed by Macromedia. It is based on TCP and was specifically designed for streaming video, audio, and data between a media server and clients (Flash player). Currently applications like follows use this protocol: Online multi-player games Text and video chat applications Virtual meeting applications Synchronous and interactive e-learning applications (business simulation games, etc.) In the early days of web video delivery, users had to rely on progressive delivery of video, meaning that the bits of video were delivered to your player one packet at a time “in the blind,” with no communication between the server and player. When a reasonable percentage of the file was downloaded to disk, the player would begin playing the file. However too often the player caught up with the point at which the file was being delivered, and playback halted. As a result streaming was created—a mode through which the video is passed to the player, with increased communication and monitoring in place, and it happens in real time between the player and server. If bandwidth degrades on the player side, it signals the server and “buffers” until it can obtain a suitable amount of packets of video to resume playback. One benefit with RTMP worth mentioning here is its ability to provide multicast support. If you run an enterprise and want to take one stream inside your corporate network and deliver it to many users without initiating a new connection for each user, RTMP is the best technology. Using iMX6 PICO-ITX Android Jelly Bean, one can watch ‘online live iptv broadcasting’ and ‘video on demand’. As shown in the above block diagram, web browser through http requests the web server, then the web server will send the swf file to the web browser over http. Flash player then connects to the media server using RTMP. RTMP server will send the data via RTMP that will be played in the Flash Player. If your favourite online service (IP TV) uses the RTMP protocol for broadcasting, you have a good chance of being able to watch the video stream live using iWave’s i.MX6 SBC. Its operating principle is simple: you input the address of the video server. It just connects to the server, consuming only the network traffic containing the video, and streams it to your display unit. Online Live IP TV: "Russia Today" is one of the IPTV broadcasting http://rt.com/on-air/rt-america-air/ we can watch this IPTV online in the Jelly Bean's Browser. We can choose the quality either HD, medium and low. Video On Demand: i.MX6 Pico ITX SBC also supports RTMP for Video on demand services. "Deutsche Welle" is one of the Video on demand service provider. We can watch this on demand video in the Android Browser. http://www.dw-world.de/dw/0,,4756,00.html We can watch Discovery Germany Video By clicking on that. Finally iWave’s i.MX6 Single Board Computer is able to provide Video on demand services and Worldwide IPTV broadcasting over HDMI or LVDS display.
