DSTREAM/DS-5 with BCM Advanced Research Board

To Anyone out there,

I was wondering if someone could help me to connect a DSTREAM to a BCM Advanced Research Board (Freescale i.MX6 ARM Motherboard, Cortex A9 Solo Core, HDMI, LVDS, RISC-based, MIPI-CSI Camera Interface, low power ARM M…) running 4.3 JellyBean (3.0.35 kernel). My host is a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS system. I tried the Freescale imx.6 solo configuration, but it would never worked properly. It would connect to the device, but display a variety of warnings and errors. For instance, I received:

file ~/projects/solo_src_main_4.3/myandroid/kernel_imx/vmlinux"

ERROR(CMD685-COR303):

! Failed to load symbols for "vmlinux"

! Cannot determine current address space because target is running; specify an explicit address space and load offset

Trying to use the flie command resulted in this:

file ~/projects/solo_src_main_4.3/myandroid/kernel_imx/vmlinux N:0x10008040

WARNING(IMG66): Unable to check the image is the correct endianness as the target is running.

WARNING(ROS60): Could not enable OS support as the OS does not appear to be initialized. This might be caused by a mismatch between the loaded symbols and the code on the target or because the OS is not up and running. Enabling OS support will be re-attempted when the target next stops.

I've tried variations on the address space and load offset. In one case, I get:

ERROR(ROS8-TAD9-NAL30):

! Unable to setup OS support

! Unable to stop device Cortex-A9_0

! Cannot stop target.

I tried to follow the recommendations of Ronan Synnott in his blog posting New Platform Bring-UP with DS-5 (New Platform Bring-Up with DS-5), but didn't have much luck. The auto-configure failed, rvi_log_client failed to run using (sudo ./rvi_log_client USB:000047) and gave me the following error:

Connected. Now building process list, please wait...

Could not build the process list.

Close all other active connections and try again.

I tried multiple times to get this to run, the DSTREAM seems to have been recognized without trouble:

I even tried to create a custom rvc configuration using arm926ejs without success. So, considering this is an eval unit that needs to go back tomorrow, does anyone have any thoughts on what I can do to get this device to work properly.

Sincerely,
