[1] Interface requires additional configuration, such as pinmuxing. It may be possible to change the software configuration to utilize this interface even if it is not being set in the board's default configuration. Please see TI's AM57xx technical reference manual for more information on the various modes each pin can be muxed to.

Known Issues


PHYTEC Known Issues

Texas Instruments Known Issues

Record IDDetailsWorkaround
SDOCM00112698
Ducati decoded output frames are padded, and
padding needs to be removed prior to waylandsink
in GST pipeline
1. Use GST pipeline with kmssink, or 2. Use videocrop along with VPE
for cropping and display, as shown in example above.
SDOCM00112703
LCD size isn't automatically detected to configure
VPE to scale video and display on waylandsink
1. Use GST pipeline with kmssink, or 2. Use VPE static width, height for
scaling, as shown in example above
SDOCM00115969
ti-vpe and ti-vip kernel modules are not
automatically loaded at boot time
ti-vpe and ti-vip can be manually inserted in order: "modprobe ti-vpe";
"modprobe ti-vip";
SDOCM00115970
When HDMI is connected, booting with
Weston/matrix GUI results in Kernel segfault. The
crash happens when starting the Matrix GUI.
Disable Matrix GUI before the booting: go to directory /etc/rc5.d and
rename S97matrix-gui-2.0 to K97matrix-gui-2.0
SDOCM00115971
GStreamer Plugin for Ducati Encoders doesn't work
IVAHD encoding can be done using videnc2test as in Matrix GUI
SDOCM00115972
SGX H/W recovery error (sometimes requires
reboot) when surface is deleted and re-created in
Waylandsink. For. e.g: At the end of playing clips
using GSreamer with waylandsink.
Use GST pipeline with kmssink.
SDOCM00115973
Clicking/touching Qt5 demos outside of the demo
app sends the demo to background, and no way to
return to Matrix screen from touchscreen
Avoid clicking the background. If demo window goes into background,
user can log into EVM to stop Matrix GUI via "/etc/init.d/matrix-gui-2.0
stop" to bring the demo back to foreground. Matrix GUI can be restarted
via "/etc/init.d/matrix-gui-2.0 start".
