Hi,

What do you mean by a Metabuild ? How do I know whether the target device is already loaded with the Metabuild ?

Also, in the Device Manager, I dont have an entry in Ports(COM & LPT) that says Qualcomm. However, in other devices there are 4 Android and an Unknown device lists.

Note: In order to run mini-dm on VirtualBox you need to use USB1.0 ports.

Mini-dm does not display FARF messages for the MDP 820 tablet.  Below is the procedure:-

-I installed Hexagon SDK 3.0 on Linux.

-Compiled and pushed the binary and library to the MDP 820 tablet..

-Run mini-dm

Mini-dm starts and displays the following output:-

~/Qualcomm/Hexagon_SDK/2.0/tools/mini-dm/Linux_Debug$ ./mini-dm 

Device found with Product ID 0x9039. Continuing...

 

mini-dm is waiting for a DMSS connection..
 
I also installed Hexagon SDK 3.0 on windows and tried mini-dm but got similar results.
 

I verified the that mini-dm worked and displayed FARF messages for the same binary compiled and run on the older DragonBoard™ 800 Development Kit.

Has anyone got mini-dm working on the MDP 820 tablet.?

thanks

Hello,
 
I am using Hexagon SDK 2.0 on MSM8952 (snapdragon 617) device.
 
I am trying to get diagnostic messages generated by Hexagon DSP with mini-dm tool.  
 
~/Qualcomm/Hexagon_SDK/2.0/tools/mini-dm/Linux_Debug$ ./mini-dm
No devices found
 
but lsusb lists the device.
 
Please help me to resolve what is going wrong.
 
Thank you.
