i.MX6 mfw_isink is not working with X11 "Nitrogen"

i.MX6 mfw_isink is not working with X11 "Nitrogen"

Hi,

I have compiled X11 image based on core-image-x11.bb for the Nitrogen6x
MACHINE. This is my image bb file:

-------------------------------------------------------------
include recipes-graphics/images/core-image-x11.bb


IMAGE_FEATURES += "debug-tweaks"
DISTRO_FEATURES += "pulseaudio"


SOC_EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES ?= "tools-testapps"
# mesa-demos is currently broken when building with other GL library
# so we avoid it by now and tools-testapps includes it.
SOC_EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES_mx6 = ""


# Add extra image features
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += " \
    ${SOC_EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES} \
    tools-debug \
    tools-profile \
"

SOC_IMAGE_INSTALL = ""

IMAGE_INSTALL += " \
    ${SOC_IMAGE_INSTALL} \
    cpufrequtils \
    packagegroup-fsl-gstreamer \
    packagegroup-fsl-tools-testapps \
    packagegroup-fsl-tools-benchmark \
    qt4-plugin-phonon-backend-gstreamer \
    fsl-gui-extrafiles \
    "

# Adh Console applications
IMAGE_INSTALL += " \
dropbear \
"


export IMAGE_BASENAME = "adh-image-x11"
-------------------------------------------------------------

The gstreamer runs perfectly well with mfw_v4lsink using this command:
gst-launch playbin2 uri=
file:///home/root/mmfiles/clipcanvas_14348_offline.mp4<file:///%5C%5Chome%5Croot%5Cmmfiles%5Cclipcanvas_14348_offline.mp4>

I need to use mfw_isink to scale and convert the output so I use the
following command which doesn't work:
gst-launch playbin2 uri=
file:///home/root/mmfiles/clipcanvas_14348_offline.mp4<file:///%5C%5Chome%5Croot%5Cmmfiles%5Cclipcanvas_14348_offline.mp4>video-sink="mfw_isink
axis-top=0 axis-left=0 disp-width=512 disp-height=384"

So I disabled the x11 flag for gst-fsl-plugin by
creating gst-fsl-plugin_3.0.1.bbappend:
PRINC := "${@int(PRINC) + 1}"

EXTRA_OECONF += "--enable-x11=no --disable-x11"


Now the mfw_isink is working!!!!???

Can someone please try the mfw_isink command on his target?

I would like to know if it is the Nitrogen board or something else that
makes gst-fsl-plugin not compatible with X11.

Thanks,
Tarek

Thanks for the note. We thought that mfw_isink was completely broken
on i.MX6.

There is absolutely no difference in this area (IPU) between the
SABRE Lite board and Nitrogen6X. I suspect that those with SABRE SD
boards can also confirm that mfw_isink fails in the same way with the
default compilation.

We noticed it in LTIB builds.

Hi Eric,

I think it's not the mfw_isink but X11 itself.

I have confirmed that by running the unit test:
/unit_tests/mxc_epdc_x11_fb_test.out
Error: unable to open X display

Do you get the same error with LTIB?

Thanks,
Tarek

Hi Tarek,

Note that the code in /unit_tests doesn't involve gstreamer...

It does use the ipu_lib, but you confirmed that this worked
already, by testing the non-X gstreamer plugin.

Eric

I haven´t tried.

I´m booting my board and I will test everything, but For X11 you
always need to tell which display you´re using (when starting anything
from console).

And, I don´t have epdc (the e-ink panel for imx5)

Otavio, would be better to remove this unit_test for imx6 boards?
(sorry, I just realized it)

Yes; if those are not supported we ought to drop them :-)

mfw_isink plays the movie, but I cannot see it (what is your behavior?
Do you get any error?)

And, for isink you need to take care of vssconfig file and kernel
command line. It does not work "out of box" as v4lsink does.

See at /usr/share/vssconfig*

I´m not familiar with isink behavior for imx6 yet, but for imx53, if
you don´t configure it properly, it won´t work.

I get the same behaviour I can't see the output.

Here is my vssconfig. I'm using HDMI TV for display

root@nitrogen6x:~# cat /usr/share/vssconfig
# vss device definition
# Master=DVI, Slave=TV
# please add "video=video=mxcdi1fb:YUV444,720P60
video=mxcdi0fb:RGB24,1024x768M-16@60" to kernel startup command line

# master display
[master]

format = RGBP
fb_num = 1
main_fb_num = 0

Change:

  fb_num = 0

It still "blended" but it plays and shows the movie

Yes, please submit a bug here:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=BSPs


It´s a .so missing.

I tried to reproduce the same on LTIB rootfs and I was not able to reproduce.


Let´s work to fix that ;-)
(And thanks for discovering that)
