# IMX53 GSTREAMER PROBLEMS

Dear All,

i'm trying to include the gstreamer in our image for iMX53, I have included
the package gstreamer, by adding it in my .bb file with:

IMAGE_INSTALL += "gstreamer \"

 

The problem is that when I try to play an audio file from my qt4 application
(using Phonon) it give me this error:

 

Warning: You do not seem to have the base GStreamer plugins installed. All
audio and video support has been disabled"
Phonon::GStreamer::Backend: Failed to initialize GStreamer

 

 

So after a search on the web, I tried to add the package "gst-fsl-plugin"
but bitbake fail to build , here is the last part of the log:

Hello

We work with iMX6Q on dylan but we found very useful this Daiane's document:
https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-95254

Try adding those licenses and packages.

Best regards

gstreamer is THE gstreamer, the complete media framework.

gst-fsl-plugin is the package that provides the VPU accelerated plugins 
to work *with* gstreamer. this package is provided by FSL.

gstreamer should not depend on kernel.

gst-fsl-plugin depends on linux-imx (for imx53 it's 2.6.35)

Could you, please, let me know your PREFERRED_PROVIDER for virtual/kernel?

And could you, please, let me know if you only need gstreamer or if you 
want gst-fsl-plugin also?

Re: # IMX53 GSTREAMER PROBLEMS

[Simone]

Hello Daiane,
thank you for your reply.

Yes, I want to use FSL plugins to benefit from the hardware acceleration
(even if I have to play only mp3 files).
The preferred provider for my MACHINE is "linux" as you can see below (I
post my MACHINE .conf file FYR)


/*==========================================================================
========
#@TYPE: Machine
#@NAME: i.MX53 Quick Start Board
#@DESCRIPTION: Machine configuration for Freescale i.MX53 Quick Start Board

SOC_FAMILY = "mx5:mx53"

KERNEL_DEVICETREE = "${S}/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx53-qsb.dts"

UBOOT_MACHINE = "mx53loco_config"

MACHINE_FIRMWARE += "firmware-imx-ar3k \
                     firmware-imx-ath6k"

MACHINE_FEATURES += " wifi bluetooth"

MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS += "udev-extraconf"
/*==========================================================================

Including the package gst-fsl-plugins in my .bb file the error of my
previous email occurs.
Any suggestion?
Thanks so much
Simone

I'm going to help you to get gst-fsl-plugin installed on your rootfs, 
although, I must say you that the mp3 encoder and mp3 decoder provided 
by gst-fsl-plugin are not accelerated by VPU (VPU is video only).

It does have some hardware improvments, but it's only code optimization 
based on ARM instructions.

If you're using virtual/kernel from meta-fsl-arm, please use:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-imx"

instead.

If "linux" point to your own kernel, please, make sure you have ported 
all IPU related code.

I think the kernel does not match. Could you, please, double check?

Re: # IMX53 GSTREAMER PROBLEMS

[Simone]

Hello Daiane,
Ok, even if the mp3 is not VPU accelerated (sorry for my stupid thinking) i
want to insert in the OS all the multimedia support to be ready in the
future, if will be necessary for other application.

Now, I have cloned the linux kernel sources and I usually work on my copy of
it.
When I'm ready, I generate a patch (with diff command) and insert it in my
kernel recipe.

Do you know how I can check my base version of the kernel?
It is possible that my base kernel sources are old, but I don't know how to
update them..

mmmmm...

I'm not very familiar with yocto...
Maybe you can help me?
Thanks
Simone

If you're using virtual/kernel from meta-fsl-arm, please use:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-imx"

instead.

If "linux" point to your own kernel, please, make sure you have ported all
IPU related code.

I think the kernel does not match. Could you, please, double check?

ok, which linux kernel source? from git.freescale.com or from kernel.org?

that's ok. I think.

I would create my local git repository and update my kernel recipe only 
to change the tag/commit hash will be downloaded.

What do you mean? Please, let me know from which repository are you 
downloading the source code, and the branch you've cheking out.

Re: # IMX53 GSTREAMER PROBLEMS

[Simone]

Hello Daiane,
sorry for late reply.

Our base kernel is from kernel.org and we apply the 11.05 patches
(downloaded from freescale website, not from git).
Probably this version of FSL patch is too old for gst-fsl-plugin? How I can
check?
I wouldn't change the kernel version now, there is a way to change the
gst-fsl-plugin version, to fit my kernel?

Thank you
Simone

Do you need only the audio Gstreamer plugins? If so, you could just
use the standard Gstreamer plugins instead of the gst-fsl package.

The VPU driver for mx6 is not functional in mainline yet, as far as I know.

Fabio Estevam

Re: # IMX53 GSTREAMER PROBLEMS

[Simone]

Hello Fabio,
It could be a solution, but i want to keep the door opened for the future, in case we will need support for playing video with hw acceleration.

For my reference, what do you mean with "standard gstreamer plugin" ?
What I should include in my .bb file?

Thanks
Simone

So, the base of your kenrel is mainline, but some drivers is from 11.05. 
That's why you're facing the mismatch.

Ofcourse, but I don't hope it's easy task. You can try to resolve one 
build error at a time, and try to change Makefiles and #includes to make 
sure you have what you need inside the package itself.

I don't know if it's easier to change kernel or MM package.

Re: # IMX53 GSTREAMER PROBLEMS

[Simone]

Hello Daiane,
Ok, I agree with you.
But now, since we have to do something to fix our problem, I must take a decision about "what way to do".
In your opinion, it is better to restart with the fsl kernel (porting our customizations) or other?
I tried to download the linux-imx 2.6 from git, but after cross compiling i got a zImage file instead of uImage, for a totally different processor.... Of course it doesn't worked..

I'm not sure of what i'm doing...

Thanks
Simone
