FastLogo Sub-Image(fastlogo.subimg.gz) File Generation

Introduction

The scope of the document is to provide information and instructions for generating a fastlogo sub-image(fastlogo.subimg.gz) file from a given PNG or JPEG file.

fastlogo.subimg.gz file layout

The fastlogo.subimg.gz is a compressed file consisting of two sections: a header and the logo/image data. The first 1 KB of the file is the header, which contains information about the logo/image, such as version, the number of logos/images, and specific details for each logo/image, including offset, width, height, and size. The logo/image data is stored immediately after the header

Below Layout gives a brief on the partition. The diagram below illustrates the high-level structure of the fastlogo.subimg.gz file.

Customization of fastlogo.subimg.gz

The script for generating fastlogo.subimg.gz is located in the synasdk-config-native recipe.

Run devtool from within the Yocto build environment to modify synasdk-config-native:

devtool modify synasdk-config-native

  • YUV422 fastlogo generation script - build-sl16X0/workspace/sources/synasdk-config-native/build/tools/bin/create_fastlogo.sh

  • RGB24 fastlogo generation script - build-sl16X0/workspace/sources/synasdk-config-native/build/tools/bin/create_fastlogo_rgb24.sh

Data format for fastlogo.subimg.gz logo/image across different platforms

If customization is required, the above fastlogo.subimg.gz file must be modified/generated with the custom logo using provided reference script and then update accordingly.

Fastlogo input of different platforms: * SL1680/SL1640: logo/image should be in YUV422 video format. * SL1620: logo/image should be in RGB24 graphics format.

SL1640/SL1680: fastlogo.subimg.gz generation in YUV422 Video format

The default script, create_fastlogo.sh, generates three images with resolutions of 1920x1080, 1280x720, and 800x1280 in YUV422 video format. To adjust the resolution, please refer to the image below, focusing on the lines that start with ‘append_header’ and ‘ffmpeg’ where the resolution is specified.

../_images/fastlogo_yuv.png

append_header: Adds header information for the logo image, such as width, height, and stride. Adjust the width and height according to the desired display resolution

let logo_offset=1024
append_binary8 $logo_offset $ofile
append_header 1920 1080 $ofile

ffmpeg: This script uses ffmpeg to convert JPG/PNG files to YUV422 format. Adjust/Modify the width and height according to the required display resolution.

ffmpeg -i $ifile -pix_fmt uyvy422 -s 1920x1080 -f rawvideo - | cat >> $ofile

SL1620: FastLogo Sub-Image(fastlogo.subimg.gz) File Generation in RGB24 Graphics format

The default script, create_fastlogo_rgb24.sh, generates three images with resolutions of 800x1280, and 800x480 in RGB24 graphics format. To adjust the resolution, please refer to the image below, focusing on the lines that start with ‘append_header’ and ‘ffmpeg’ where the resolution is specified.

../_images/fastlogo_rbg24.png

append_header: Adds header information for the logo image, such as width, height, and stride. Adjust the width and height according to the desired display resolution

ffmpeg: This script uses ffmpeg to convert JPG/PNG files to RGB24 format. Adjust/Modify the width and height according to the required display resolution.

let logo_offset=1024
append_binary8 $logo_offset $ofile
append_header 800 1280 $ofile

ffmpeg -i $ifile -pix_fmt rgb24 -s 800x1280 -f rawvideo -vf transpose=2 - | cat >> $ofile

Steps to generate fastlogo.subimg.gz

The fastlogo.subimg.gz file containing the “Astra reference logo” can be found in the following location.

build-sl16X0/workspace/sources/synasdk-config-native/configs/product/<profile>

fastlogo.subimg.gz file generation script parameters

SL1620: Generate RGB24 logo subimage

create_fastlogo_rgb24.sh -i <input Jpeg/PNG file> -o fastlogo.subimg

SL1640/SL1680: Generate YUV422 logo subimage

create_fastlogo.sh -i <input Jpeg/PNG file> -o fastlogo.subimg

Note

create_fastlogo.sh and create_fastlogo_rgb24.sh should be run outside of the Yocto Crops container. It requires ffmpeg which is not included in the container.
