Video encoding on OMAP4430

Video encoding on OMAP4430

Hello everyone,

I am using a Gumstix Duovero Zephyr, which is based on OMAP4430, and I
would like to use the OMAP video encoding capabilities.

I got this working with a Gumstix Overo IronStorm by adding "gstreamer-ti"
to the image recipe but, if I run this target with "duovero" as machine, I
get the following error:

NOTE: Preparing runqueue
NOTE: Executing SetScene Tasks
NOTE: Executing RunQueue Tasks
WARNING: Failed to fetch URL svn://
gforge.ti.com/svn/dmai/;module=UNDEFINED_DMAIBRANCH;protocol=https;user=anonymous;pswd='',

ERROR: Function failed: Fetcher failure for URL: 'svn://
gforge.ti.com/svn/dmai/;module=UNDEFINED_DMAIBRANCH;protocol=https;user=anonymous;pswd='''.
Unable to fetch URL from any source.

Does anyone know what is wrong? Should I add a different target to the
recipe?

gstreamer-ti is the recipe for omap3/dm3xx platforms, with omap4 you
should use gst-plugins-ducati but i don't know if it has been tested
on omap4 and/or omap5.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to help me.

Now, back on topic: should I download the "meta-arago-extras" layer? That
is what I found on Google when I searched for "gst-plugins-ducati".

You should just follow the steps to build latest arago, build a simple
console-image and if everything is ok you can go on building gstreamer
and the ducati plugin.
You will need meta-gumstix of course.

Which console image should I build? The Arago or the Gumstix one?

The arago one, just to be sure you have a working setup.

(and btw you shouldn't have the gumstix one, because it's in gumstix-extras).

There are some pieces of accelerated multimedia with gstreamer in 
meta-arago-extras:

http://arago-project.org/git/?p=meta-arago.git;a=tree;f=meta-arago-extras/recipes-multimedia;hb=HEAD

Although, those are currently being used for OMAP5 and derived parts, so 
compatibility with OMAP4 is not guaranteed. If you are adventurous enough, you 
are welcome to try those. You'd need gst-plugin-ducati and libdce.

Also you might need "mm-accel" versions of gstreamer components, which are 
used when "mmip" flag in MACHINE_FEATURES is set...

You would also be better off moving the further discussion to 
meta-arago@arago-project.org mailing list, since this is not BSP specific.

Is it too bad if I did not understand any of this: "Also you might need
"mm-accel" versions of gstreamer components, which are used when "mmip"
flag in MACHINE_FEATURES is set..."?

I included the meta-arago-extras layer, ran "bitbake-layers show-recipes"
and got this error:

Parsing recipes..ERROR: ExpansionError during parsing

bb.BBHandledException

I do not know how to address this error. I tried rolling back to a previous
Yocto version, from Daisy to Dora, but got the same error.

I will write to the meta-arago mailing list too. Thanks for the pointer.
