Issue with Media SDK - Errors while running linux samples

[Srikershar_G_Intel]

Hi,

We are working on media SDK for first time to realize encode/decode/transcode usecases on linux Ubuntu. But we see issues while running linux samples after SDK install . We are attaching details below.  Please let us know if any thing missing here.

==============================================================================

Device : GB-BXi7-4770R (Intel Haswell Desktop)

OS installed : Ubuntu 16.04

Procedure Followed:

===========================

tar -xvzf intel-linux-media_generic_16.5-55964_64bit.tar.gz

tar -xvJf intel-opencl-16.5-55964.x86_64.xz

tar -xvJf intel-opencl-devel-16.5-55964.x86_64.xz

Kernel 4.4 

wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.4.tar.xz

Applied the patch to kernel 4.4

/opt/intel/mediasdk/opensource/patches/kmd/4.4/intel-kernel-patches.tar.bz2

Ubunti 16.04 + booted with custom build kernel 4.4 where the kernel patches are applied and built

After Media SDK installation 

lspci -vnnn

Hi,

HW HEVC decoder and HW HEVC encoder are supported since Skylake.

Hi

Even, we are facing same issue for H264 transcode and other codecs as well. Any suggestion?
