hbmem sample usage instructions

Function Overview​

Instructions for using hbmem APIs, including creation and usage of com buffer, graphic buffer, graphic buffer group, queue, pool, share pool, and multi-process sharing.

Software Architecture Description​

This sample is implemented based on the libhbmem API, invoking APIs provided by libhbmem to allocate memory for different buffer types and enable inter-process sharing.

Compilation​

Compilation Environment​

This sample supports direct compilation on the board.

Compilation Instructions​

This sample primarily depends on header files provided by libhbmem:

#include <hb_mem_mgr.h>
#include <hb_mem_err.h>

Compilation dependencies include the following libraries:

LIBS += -lhbmem -lpthread -lalog -ldl -lstdc++

Compilation Commands​

# Enter the sample directory:
cd /app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem
# Compile the sample:
make
# Output file:
/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample

Execution​

Supported Platforms​

  • RDK S100 / RDK S100P

Execution Methods​

Create a com buffer:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 1

Create cached and non-cached com buffers, perform assignment, and measure execution time:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 2

Create com buffers in various heaps:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 3

Create a graphic buffer:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 4

Create graphic buffers in various heaps:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 5

Create a graphic buffer group:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 6

Create graphic buffer groups in various heaps:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 7

Intra-process common buffer sharing:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 8

Intra-process common buffer sharing with consume_cnt:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 9

Inter-process common buffer sharing:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 10

Intra-process graphic buffer sharing:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 11

Intra-process graphic buffer sharing with consume_cnt:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 12

Inter-process graphic buffer sharing:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 13

Intra-process graphic buffer group sharing:

Intra-process graphic buffer group sharing with consume_cnt:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 15

Inter-process graphic buffer group sharing:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 16

Inter-process share pool sharing:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 17

Share pool usage:

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 18
```buffer queue usage

```bash
/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 19

pool usage

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 20

Implement buffer conversion between graphic buffer and common buffer

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 21

Increment user-space reference count of common buffer

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 22

Increment user-space reference count of graphic buffer

/app/communication_demo/hbmem_demo/sample_hbmem/libhbmem_sample -m 23

Runtime Parameter Description​

  • -m specifies the sample test case; refer to the execution output for details.

Test Result Description​

  • If the log ends with xxxx done, it indicates the sample executed successfully.
