Can't initialize encoder on Atom E3950

[mccoy__nicholas]

I'm trying to get access to hardware accelerated video compression on an Atom processor.  I did some preliminary work on an i7-4910MQ without issues, but I can't successfully call MFXVideoENCODE_Init on the E3950.  Is there some setting or other change I need?

When I compile the "simple_encode" tutorial project for x86, MFXVideoENCODE_Init will return MFX_ERR_MEMORY_ALLOC.  simple_encode.exe will print the following:

>simple_encode.exe -g 640x480 -b 74000 -f 30/1
 Could not allocate memory. c:\source\mediasdk-tutorials-0.0.3\simple_3_encode\src\simple_encode.cpp 167

When I compile the "simple_encode" tutorial project for x64, MFXVideoENCODE_Init causes an access violation and simple_encode.exe will exit without printing anything.

simple_session.exe works OK for both x86 and x64.

>simple_session.exe
Implementation: HARDWARE                 API Version: 1.27

I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC.  Compiling with Intel(R) Media SDK 2019 R1 on MS Visual Studio 2017.

Hi Nik,

I will check on my side, but you might also check if following code can run:

• sample_encode from the release package.
• simple_7_codec from tutorial.

If you can find "simple_7_codec", you can find it here:
