  Rock64 Gstreamer

Hey,
Currently whenever i try to modify anything about my current pipeline apart from directly outputting it it crashes. The crash happens with things like using Videomixer, textoverlay or whenever i try to decode jpegs.


this is my current pipeline (eddited out some info from the url, it works) that works, any edits within it crashes.
gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location=rtsp://@192.168.178.40:554/ latency=0 ! decodebin  ! input-selector ! videoconvert ! rkximagesink

0:00:01.360255974  5931   0x7f6c083630 ERROR           rkximagesink ximagesink.c:566:gst_x_image_sink_ximage_put:<rkximagesink0> drmPrimeFDToHandle failed: Operation not permitted (-1)

0:00:01.406619723  5931   0x7f6c083630 ERROR       mppdecbufferpool gstmppdecbufferpool.c:203:gst_mpp_dec_buffer_pool_release_buffer:<mppvideodec0:poolConfusedrc> can't release an invalid buffer

this is the usual type of error i receive.

Are there any fix to this?

  Rock64 v3 and SD-Cards
Posted by: Humberg - 05-06-2019, 10:04 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (12)

I have seen many problems with the Rock64 v3 in the last few days.
Many customers have told me that existing Rock64 images suddenly no longer boot in v3.
We have verified this and found that apparently v3 can not cope with many SD cards. The booting of eMMC goes without problems.

If a customer has bought a new v3 and nothing works, contact us, we will send you an emmc card for the purchase price without any profit.

Question freeze on multiple image from wiki
Posted by: Slam - 05-06-2019, 09:59 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - Replies (6)

Hi,

I just received my board and tested a few linux images (all the ones with a desktop) but faced the same issue with every single one. the OS would randomly freeze when I use it. I assumed it was caused by asking too much so I installed the fan service found on the forum and made sure to do basic tasks but it keep freezing. If I leave the board running without doing anything it seem to be fine though.

I have the full NAS set (from the pine shop):
- RockPro64 (4gb)
- NAS case
- PCI E 2x SATA 
- 30cm headsink
- Case fan
- 32Gb SC / 32 Gb EMMC
- Air Mouse
- ROCKPro64 12V 5A power supply

I think I listed it all.


I have plugged everything so the issue could be the HDD pulling too much power though as I don't do anyrthing with them other than having them plugged I guess this is not the issue.

Have anyone faced a similar issue? Any expert that would know where to check what is going on? I have some programming experience but i'm new to linux!

My current project is to make a media player / NAS connected to a projector.


Thank you for your help & Time!

Question testing android on RP64
Posted by: Slam - 05-06-2019, 04:13 AM - Forum: Android on RockPro64 - Replies (2)

Hi there,

I just got my RockPro64 and tested a few linux images but was blocked by the fact that after some time the board would freeze. I would like to test the board with android now but just realized that every image on the wiki are marked "not Android TV" except of the 50G one. 

-> Does that mean that if I load these image on my SD and boot the board with a HDMI plugged to a TV screen (projector to be more precise) it will not display anything? I tested one this morning before going to work and I had no signal on my screen.

I assume the 50Go 7.1 is not just the image and will need manual compilation? Alse I'll need a bigger SD to test it Big Grin

Thank you for anyone helping.

  Clusterboard startup issues
Posted by: WhiteDragon - 05-05-2019, 03:32 PM - Forum: Clusterboard - Replies (10)

Hey Guys and Gals,

So I recently acquired a Clusterboard  and wanted to take it for a spin. But no luck so far...

When I tried to start it with a single SoPine inserted nothing happened, so - dismayed - I tried another one and got a response: The lights went on and I got approximately three seconds of Christmas Tree Action. After that: Nothing...

After reading on this Forum I tried a Xenial 3.10 Build and now I get at least a heartbeat on the SoPine I inserted! But still no lights on the switch. Not even a status light on the RJ45 Socket...
Now I am worried that the board might be fried. 

Do you have any ideas?

(I'm still waiting for a USB/UART Adapter. Tried it with a DIY Arduino Thingy but that did not work. No UART Signal so far, or none detectable by the Arduino.)


  LCD Troubleshooting Help
Posted by: k0mxl - 05-05-2019, 12:57 PM - Forum: LCD and Touch Panel - Replies (1)

I have been trying to get a Pine64 touchscreen LCD working with my A64+ 1 GB board and have about given up.

Apparently I'm not using the correct terms to search the forums or something, because in my quest to RTFM, I can't even FIND TFM, so I'm going to try the direct approach.

In order to determine whether I'm dealing with a hardware issue (i.e. the LCD itself, or the connections), or a software / OS issue, I'd appreciate it if someone would please answer the following questions:

How do I determine if the LCD is connected properly?  I see no activity - not even the backlight - during boot.

Are there voltages that can be measured with a DVOM on the ribbon connector that will tell me if the LCD is receiving power from the board?

Should I be seeing some indication of the LCD being detected in dmesg if booting Armbian?

Is there a current image that automatically detects and supports the LCD with or without touchscreen?  

Put another way, what current images - of any type,  Linux, Android, or other - support the LCD with little or no tweaking required?  

I've tried the most recent Armbian Linux images, editing armbianEnv.txt as directed, and I've tried what I think are the most current Android 7 and 6 images but I'm not sure I've made the correct changes in the (name escapes me at the moment) config file.


Constructive suggestions and help appreciated...flames can be directed to /dev/null.

Thank you.


  ffmpeg for x264 encoding
Posted by: klode - 05-04-2019, 11:31 PM - Forum: Armbian - Replies (2)

I'm working on use my Pine64 RevB (2016) with 2Gb RAM, and armbian distro installed, for x264 encodings.

I'm using this command:

Code:
ffmpeg -i video_in.mkv \
-loglevel error -stats -an -vcodec libx264 -b:v 3500k -preset:v slow -profile:v high -tune:v film \
-aspect 16:9 -vf scale=w=1280:h=720 -threads 1 -cpu-used 1 -f rawvideo -passlogfile \
video_out.mkv -pass 1 -y /dev/null

using the 2-pass encoding method. In this case, I got 2.7 fps on analysis. If I use:

Code:
-threads 3 -cpu-used 1

i got about 4.5 fps.
I've found another ffmpeg compiled for AllWinner H3 processor. May I use this?
The configuration of my ffmpeg is:
