Local Source Debug with GDB

Warning: technically AGL bindings are shared libraries loaded thought 'dlopen'. GDB supports source debug of dynamically loaded libraries, but user should be warn that the actual path to sharelib symbols is directly inherited from DLOPEN. As a result if you change your directory after binder start with --workdir=xxx then GDB will not find symbols anymore

    Examples:

    # WORK when running in direct
    afb-daemon --workdir=.. --ldpaths=build --port=1234 --roothttp=./htdocs

    # FAIL when using GDB with warning: Could not load shared library ....
    gdb -args afb-daemon --workdir=.. --ldpaths=build --port=1234 --roothttp=./htdocs
    ...
    warning: Could not load shared library symbols for ./build/ucs2-afb/afb-ucs2.so.
    Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
    ...

To debug sharelib symbol path: start your binder under GDB. Then break your session after the binder has loaded its bindings. Finally use "info sharedlibrary" and check 'SymsRead'. If equal to 'No' then either you start GDB from the wrong relative directory, either you have to use 'set solib-search-path' to force the path.

    gdb -args afb-daemon --workdir=.. --ldpaths=build --port=1234 --roothttp=./htdocs
    run
        ...
        NOTICE: API UNICENS added
        NOTICE: Waiting port=1234 rootdir=.
        NOTICE: Browser URL= http://localhost:1234
    (hit Ctrl-C to break the execution)
    info sharedlibrary afb-*

Running an debugging on a target

export RSYNC_TARGET=root@xx.xx.xx.xx
export RSYNC_PREFIX=/opt    # WARNING: installation directory should exist

mkdir $RSYNC_TARGET
cd    $RSYNC_TARGET

cmake -DRSYNC_TARGET=$RSYNC_TARGET -DRSYNC_PREFIX=$RSYNC_PREFIX ..
make remote-target-populate

    ./build/target/start-${RSYNC_TARGET}.sh
    firefox http://localhost:1234    # WARNING: do not forget firewall if any

    ssh -tt ${RSYNC_TARGET} speaker-test -twav -D hw:ep01 -c 2

Note: remote-target-populate will

  • create a script to remotely start the binder on the target in ./build/target/start-on-target-name.sh
  • create a gdbinit file to transparently debug remotely in source code with gdb -x ./build/target/gdb-on-target-name.ini
  • to run and debug directly from your IDE just configure the run and debug properties with the corresponding filename

Note that Netbeans impose to set debug directory to ./build/pkgout or it won't find binding symbols for source debugging

Default Volume of Amplifiers

The binding currently supports two use cases for amplifiers.

  1. Amplifiers are initialized with a default volume. The head unit uses software volume to change the volume of streaming data.
  2. Amplifiers are initialized muted. The head unit uses hardware volume (e.g. HAL-MOST-UNICENS) to change the volume of amplifiers remotely.

Use case 2 is the default use case. If you like to use this binding without hardware volume support please adopt the config_multichannel_audio_kit.xml as explained below.

<!-- Register 7: Master Volume (Max Volume=07 00 00 and Min Volume=07 03 FF) -->
<!--   - together with HAL-MOST-UNICENS binding use "07 03 FF" = muted after start -->
<!--   - otherwise use "07 01 50" = default volume -->
<I2CPortWrite Address="0x2A" Payload="07 03 FF"/>
