[gst-embedded] Fwd: [beagleboard] Re: how to let gstreamer and dsplink to work

[Favor Tang]

hi. Brijesh

I want to tell you the result of the dsplink test today, and I would
like you give me some proposals.
1)  I changed the bootargs, added the mem=88M.

I have see "New beagleboard demo image, now with 100% more DSP " at
google groups mailing list.
   https://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/a88dccbb7acc06c?pli=1

I set the loadmodule.sh file as follow:
modprobe cmemk phys_start=0x85800000 phys_end=0x86800000
pools=20x4096,8x131072,4x829440,1x5250000,1x1429440,1x256000
# insert DSP/BIOS Link driver
modprobe dsplinkk
# make /dev/dsplink
rm -f /dev/dsplink
mknod /dev/dsplink c `awk "\\$2==\"dsplink\" {print \\$1}" /proc/devices` 0
# insert Local Power Manager driver
modprobe lpm_omap3530
# insert sdma module
modprobe sdmak

2) load modules ok
root at beagleboard:~# ./loadmodule.sh
ioremap_nocache(0x85800000, 16777216)=0xc8000000
allocated heap buffer 0xc8000000 of size 0x522000
cmem initialized 6 pools between 0x85800000 and 0x86800000
DSPLINK Module (1.60) created on Date: Apr  8 2009 Time: 10:39:08

3) the first time, I use this command for playing mp4 video. this
time, an error is happened without any video display, but I could hear
its sound. with the same command, the second time, it can play this
mp4 video as normal, but with some "mmcblk0: error -84 transferring
data" errors.
except for that, it didn't play to its end of the video, and be hanged
after many(maybe fewer than 60 seconds) seconds.  the video playing
don't  go on, and stop at any point. I am confused why is this
happened.
I have read that thread, but still didn't know how to deal with this.

it seems that the gst-ti plugin and its TI codec combos is not robust
enough, is it? maybe I am wrong, please correct me.

test result: I can see the video display and the sound as well. but
only can play few seconds, and hang.
except for that, an "end_request: I/O error" shows out.

4) I test another video with the same command, this time it can't play
anything at all, instead, CMEMK Error is happened. it seems it is the
cmem modprobe and mem of bootargs problem, but the previous test show
that I can use these arguments to play video, even though, few seconds
(20~35s). any ideas, why?
