Gstreamer encoder usage reboot the board

Dragon Series Q6A

@hacky Can we confirm steps how you able to run h264enc? My steps to reproduce:

  1. I downloaded `dragon-q6a_flat_build_wp_260120.zip` from here Radxa Dragon Q6A firmware snapshot - #19 by Ugosinsaang

  2. I download edl-ng using AUR package: AUR (en) - edl-ng which should correspond to 1.5.0 in github: Release v1.5.0 · strongtz/edl-ng · GitHub

  3. In the unpacked zip I go to flat_build/spinor/dragon-q6a and run: sudo edl-ng --memory spinor --loader prog_firehose_ddr.elf rawprogram rawprogram0.xml patch0.xml

  4. I’ve downloaded Standard Image of Radxa OS r2 from this tag: Release r2 (rsdk) · radxa-build/radxa-dragon-q6a · GitHub with sha256: c96977042a6c8b1d09f07d3428024aedf0a9527188472be1717195d668a872b256a61e383015b82e67e639f70e22b6427e4b932468468945139714dc00a88aaf ./radxa-dragon-q6a_noble_gnome_r2.output_512.img.xz

  5. I’ve flashed image to SD card(be careful with the command and of= flag): xzcat ~/Downloads/radxa-dragon-q6a_noble_gnome_r2.output_512.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdc bs=64k oflag=dsync status=progress

  6. I’ve start the board without SD card and any storage to set `Radxa Platform Configuration
    -> Hypervisor Settings -> Hypervisor Override` to Enabled using USB-UART and debug UART and save settings by pressing reset in the UEFI menu

  7. I‘ve inserted SD card and restart board by power and wait until login prompt appeared

  8. I connect to my home wifi using nmcli: sudo nmcli dev wifi connect <SSID> password <PASS> and install deps: sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x gstreamer1.0-alsa gstreamer1.0-gl gstreamer1.0-gtk3 gstreamer1.0-qt5 gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio

  9. I’ve run test pipeline: gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! v4l2h264enc ! fakesink

  10. The pipeline fails and dmesg have:

    [ 278.654455] qcom-venus-encoder aa00000.video-codec:video-encoder: enc: event session error 0
    [ 278.663319] qcom-venus aa00000.video-codec: SFR message from FW: QC_IMAGE_VERSION_STRING=video-firmware.1.0-8fd4ba980f726e389c6c07fbae6bebdfe904e3c8 Err_Fatal - /local/mnt/workspace/pkg/builds/dynamic_timely/tree3/vendor/qcom/proprietary/video-firmware-noship/venus_proc/venus/encoders/src/venus_venc_hal.c:9326:9

    My only assumption that you might have HDMI cable attached to display. I’ve also tried full system upgrade sudo apt full-upgrade in step 8, but still no luck
