'illegal instruction' when running raspindi on piZeroW

Describe the solution you'd like
build opt. for PiZeroW to support addition Pi models

Describe alternatives you've considered
Not using PiZero : -) - It's possible the single core won't be up to the task, but it stills has GPU and v2.0x is making full use to hopeful of 1280x720 @ 25fps is possible

Additional context

This could be interesting. My initial thinking is I'm not sure how well the network would hold up, as it's wireless only, but it might work for a lower bandwidth stream.

My Pi Zero is in another project at the moment, but if/when I can free it up I'll have a look at this. I think the hardware is supported by NDI (which will be the limiting factor, as they're pre-packaged libraries). If you want to give it a go then you can download the embedded SDK and copy the correct library into the lib folder. (arm-rpi1-linux-gnueabihf).

Thanks Richard - I’ll try. On the network point I share the concern - for ref have m3b+ running with PoE (720p @ 30fps) and m4 over Wi-fi (1080p @ 30fps) both glitch free. Quietly confident the PiZero could handle the streaming. I’ll report back.

Ok - replaced lib and rebuilt. Initial error gone, the app runs ( I see the NDI stream advertised) but on connection the Pi Zero borks with 'malloc(): corrupted top size' - did a little digging and this appears to be mmal not NDI. running 'sudo vcdbg dumpstate 2>/dev/null' results is this output

happy to keep poking, would need some guidance on where next .. thx
(btw Pi 4 at 2540 x 1440 @ 30fps works a treat over wifi)

I would guess for that one you might be better going back to v1.1.1, which used the rapsicam library rather than mmal directly.

rf152 commented

I now have a Pi Zero W spare, so I will probably have a look in the week next week.

I'll let you know how I get on.

rf152 commented

I've had a look at this. It looks like the Pi Zero W just doesn't have enough memory to do this; the malloc error occurs in MMAL regardless. I don't have the programming knowledge to debug right into the MMAL code.

For now, I think the Zero W is just unsupportable for this. If someone wants to dig further into it, feel free!
