Hi Funway,

What version of numpy and protobuf do you have installed? Could you try to install version protobuf 3.17.3 and numpy 1.19.5 and re-run the tests?

Regards,

Jesus

hi Jesus

We try your suggestion to install version protobuf 3.17.3 and numpy 1.19.5, but it doesn't worked. Please find the test report as attached and the fail items of test result are the same as last week. 

Do you think the fail items are occurred from the poor support of Ubuntu to Elkhart Lake platform or graphic unit?

Best Regards

Hi Funway,

I do experience the same issue on ehl platform before. It is due to the graphic drivers is not installed.

Can you provide me the device’s PCI ID on your EHL platform?

You can do this via running the command below:

lspci -nn | grep VGA

In the meantime, you can also install the required graphics drivers by following the commands below,

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:intel-opencl/intel-opencl

sudo apt update

sudo apt install -y libze-loader libze-intel-gpu intel-opencl-icd

Hi Lim Xiang Yang & Jesus

We install the latest Ubuntu image for Intel IoT platform (https://ubuntu.com/download/iot/intel-iotg) and intel graphic driver to run ESDQ 5.0. The failed item of ESDQ 5.0 test is reduced, but “mediasdk_sample_multi_transcode with h264 and mpeg2” and “mediasdk_sample_encode with h265” still test fail and need your help to find the solution. please find the attached file for test report. 

Best regards

Hi Funway,

What driver version did you install for the GPU? I am testing on a tiger lake system as I don't have access to an Elkhart Lake system, I'll need to reach out to my peers for assistance.

Also, I installed Ubuntu 20.04 from the link above that is using kernel 5.13.0-1007-intel (same as yours) and all the tests passed on my system (tigerlake).

Hi Jesus

I am Jason. I also installed the latest Ubuntu image for Intel IoT platform and intel graphic driver to run ESDQ 5.0 on Elkhart lake platform, but “mediasdk_sample_multi_transcode with h264 and mpeg2” and “mediasdk_sample_encode with h265” still test fail.

Hi Funway/Jason,

The engineering team is still debugging the issue, I will share additional information as soon as I hear back.

Hi Jesus

Do you get any update from engineer?

Or could you provide the schedule to me?

Hi Funway,

Apologies for the delay. The engineering team has determined the issue is not in the ESDQ software stack but specific to MediaSDK. Currently, they are reaching out to the MediaSDK team to further debug the issue. I don't have a timeline to share at this time.

Regards,

Jesus

Hi Jesus

Thanks for update. 

This issue will be moved to MediaSDK team as you mentioned, so the contact windows will be changed either?

Best Regards

Hi Funway,

I will continue to provide updates through this discussion since you are using the ESDQ software package. I appreciate your patience while we look into this issue.

Hi Jesus

Do you have any update for this issue?

[Funway]

hi JesusE

There are four fail items when running the ESDQ 6.0 on the Elkhart Lake platform.  I attach the photo for information and fail items.

Hi Funway,

Sorry for getting you back late.

A hotfix version of ESDQ 6.1 is released to address the issue. Can you try it on your EHL platform?

You can find it at the link below,
ESDQ 6.1: https://software.intel.com/iot/edgesoftwarehub/download/home/esdq_vision

Documentation:  https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/edge-software-device-qualification-vision.html

Also, it is a known limitation that sample “mediasdk_sample_encode_with_h265” test case will fail if the target platform do not have HEVC VDEnc enabled.

Thanks and regards,

Lim Xiang Yang

Hi Funway,

Just a piece of follow-up information, you can enable the HEVC VDEnc on your platform by following the steps below.

Media sdk sample encode test failed with the message: 

“ERROR], sts=MFX_ERR_UNSUPPORTED(-3),…"  

Follow the steps below as a possible solution: 

sudo apt install --reinstall linux-firmware 
Add i915.enable_guc=2  in /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.force_probe=* i915.enable_guc=2" 
sudo update-initramfs –u 
sudo update-grub 
Reboot the system.
After reboot, execute the command:  dmesg | grep guc
Verify the logs for guc information. If output doesn't contain guc details, then get the latest guc/huc firmware. Copy the firmware to /lib/firmware/i915/, and reboot the system.

This will help to enable the HEVC VDEnc on your platform and rerun the test again. The “mediasdk_sample_encode_with_h265” test case should be able to run successfully.

Do let me know if there is still issue after you run these changes and do help me to accept as solution if this help to fix the issue.

Hi Xiang Yang

Our Elkhart platform pass all items under ESDQ. I attach the test report. if you have any suggestion, please let me know.

Hi Funway,

It will not have any issue for “mediasdk_sample_encode_with_h265” if HEVC VDEnc is enabled on your platform.

Can I ask for your help to accept as a solution if no further issues/questions from your end?

Thanks and regards,

Xiang Yang

Hi Xiang Yang

Could you explain more? I don't understand what is your meaning for "Can I ask for your help to accept as a solution if no further issues/questions from your end?"
