Beagle/Panda : Hardware accelerated Video Playback support missing

[Abhishek Paliwal]

Description:

Hardware accelerated Video Playback support is missing in RC 11.10 for Beagle/Panda/4460 hardwares.

Observed for Beagle-XM as well on:

I assume this again is that there's no SGX in mainline build

Confirmed on https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/panda-11.11-release/#build=4.

I guess you'll be continuing to observe this a lot since there's no driver in that kernel. Not sure there's any point breaking the reports down by platform if we already know there's no driver in the kernel.

Also observed for 4460 on RC build 11.11:

Valid for tracking panda release:
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/tracking-panda-11.11-release/#build=4 as well.

If "tracking-panda" is tilt-android-tracking kernel, sgx support is working there as I verified thismorning. I'm using an older rootfs from a couple of weeks ago.

Is your monitor plugged in the HDMI socket of Panda?

[vishal (vishalbhoj)]

warmcat,

We are referring to video playback scenario here.I have updated the the bug description to make proper sense .

Still on 11.12 Preview Release Candidate 2

[Nicolas Dechesne (ndec)]

is 11.12 using GB or ICS? in both cases I don't expect it would work but it's still important to know. I don't think anyone here @TI published the ducati firmware that would work with GB. Same for ICS. Note that the firmware would be different (largely) between GB and ICS.

For GB, the Linaro kernel should be almost ok in terms of drivers. but the firmware we published for Ubuntu 11.10 does not implement OMX.

For ICS, the situation is a bit more dramatic... ICS MM is based on syslink3.0+ION+dsscomp, and it might very well require the proper IMG DDK as well (not 100% sure about that). all these drivers are missing from Linaro kernel. and would break the Ubuntu MM if they were added.
