Ctrl-X to leave, save your changes, and you're done!

Downloading

The SDK is available on github.

We use Repo manage Git repositories. Clone Repo from android Git repositories or other mirrors and install it.
Chinese developers can install Repo follow these steps: 

$ git clone http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/aosp/git-repo.git ~/.bin/repo
$ echo "export PATH=~/.bin/repo:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

Becase there are some big files in the SDK, please run the following command before you start the downloading. 

$ git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000

Then run this to check: 

$ git config --list

For Lindenis V536 SBC, download the SDK via: 

$ repo init -u https://github.com/lindenis-org/manifest.git -b v536 -m lindenis-v536.xml
$ repo sync

The Download time depends on your network connection speed. After finish the download, you should get below directories and files: 

build  config  Config.in  device  dl  lichee  Makefile  package  prebuilt  rules.mk  scripts  softwinner  target  toolchain  tools

Start a branch for local workspace: 

$ repo start lindenis-v536 --all

Building

Setup env
  • For Lindenis V536 SBC:
$ source build/envsetup.sh

Build source
  • Build kernel and rootfs

If you are the first time downloaded the SDK and have not built the SDK before, run the below two commands, then exit and save the configuration at first. 

$ make menuconfig

$ make kernel_menuconfig

Then make it and wait ... 

$ make -j8 V=s

Application Demo

The application demos powered by Lindenis.

Lindlive

lindlive is a high performance low latency live streaming library. lindlive integrate some useful function modules, such as audio/video capture, encoding and streaming protocol. So developers can easily implement a live streaming server based on lindenis board.

There are two samples app using lindlive, one is sample_mppsrc_2_livesink and the other is sample_mppsrc_2_ffsink. The sample source code is located in SDK.

!!! It is strongly recommended to use lindplayer with '-live' as the client of the lindlive. It will be lower latency.

usage: 

   sample_mppsrc_2_livesink -i [ip] -p [port] -n [name]
       -i [ip] is the ip address of the server. If it is not set, the 'ip' default is local ethernet or wifi ip address.
       -p [port] is the port of the server. If it is not set, the 'port' default is rtsp port 8554.
       -n [name] is the name of live streaming. If it is not set, the 'name' default is 'live'.
       All of the arguments are optional.
   If sample_mppsrc_2_livesink is correctly running, the server url is 'rtsp://[ip]:[port]/[name]'
   Then it can be played in an player with the url 'rtsp://[ip]:[port]/[name]'.

   sample_mppsrc_2_ffsink -t [type] -u [url]
       -t [type]: the muxer type, can be 'mpegts/mp4/rtp/rtp_mpegts/rtsp/rtmp'
       -u [url] : sink to url, like: '/tmp/out.mp4' or 'rtp://192.168.1.100:12345'
   Example 1: sink as a live streaming.
       sample_mppsrc_2_ffsink -t rtp_mpegts -u rtp://192.168.3.118:12345
       sample_mppsrc_2_ffsink -t rtp -u rtp://192.168.3.118:12342/test
       Then it can be played in an player with the url 'rtsp://[ip]:[port]/[name]'.
   Example 2: save as a local file.
       sample_mppsrc_2_ffsink -t mp4 -u /tmp/out.mp4
       sample_mppsrc_2_ffsink -t mpegts -u /tmp/out.ts
Lindplayer

lindplayer is a high performance media player that can run on lindenis board. It supports upto 4K@30fps H.264/H.265 video decoder. It can play a local media file or a media stream from internet.

usage: 

   lindplayer -u [url] <options>
       -u [url] is the media path to be played.
       <options> use -live to indicate this is a live streaming.
   such as:
       lindplayer -u ./movie.ts
   or  lindplayer -u http://192.168.1.102/test
   or  lindplayer -u rtsp://192.168.1.102/test -live
