Improvements

• Test Data Reorganization: Restructured AVP1/2/3, OD, and SEG demo images into separate folders for better organization, replacing a single large common folder. Consolidated AVP and DOF images into a single folder to support AVP3 demo execution (JIRA: ADASVISION-6811)
• Vision Apps – Test Data Paths: Updated input image paths in configuration files to reflect the new test data folder structure (JIRA: ADASVISION-6811)
• TIOVX – POSIX Object Resource Logging: Simplified POSIX object resource logging by consolidating alloc and free logging calls into common functions (ownAllocPosixObject and ownFreePosixObject), reducing redundancy across all four object types (JIRA: TIOVX-2732, ADASVISION-5966)
• TIOVX – Minimum Resource Configuration Values: Updated minimum required values for log resource configuration to ensure accurate conformance testing with minimally generated configs, including increases to TIVX_GRAPH_MAX_DATA_REF_QUEUE, TIVX_ERROR_MAX_OBJECTS, and TIVX_DATA_REF_Q_MAX_OBJECTS

• Platform – Unified app_init: Merged Linux and QNX app_init files into a single unified file using #ifdef guards to reduce divergence and improve long-term maintainability. Removed unnecessary app_log and app_fileio write initializations from HLOS app init, as these are natively available on HLOS platforms
• MCU SW – Memory Sections: Updated memory sections as defined for MPU/SPMCU across all modules (MCAL-41154)
• MCU SW – SPI API Naming: Updated SPI API name for MPU/SPMCU to align with naming conventions, updated the SPI example application, and cleaned up the SPI readback API by removing outdated parameters from the readback struct (MCAL-41933, MCAL-41099)

Bug Fixes

• sdk_builder – J722S Makefile: Fixed makefile for J722S to use RTOS-specific SysConfig files by referencing $(RTOS_TYPE).syscfg instead of $(MCU_SYSCFG_FILE) for mcu1_0, c7x_1, and c7x_2 cores, ensuring correct per-RTOS configuration (JIRA: ADASVISION-7526)
• video_io – J721E CSITX Data Abort: Fixed MCU2_0 data abort during CSITX initialization on J721E by adding the missing CSI_TX_IF0 power domain enable call, which previously caused register access to a powered-off module (JIRA: ADASVISION-7527)
• video_io – J721E Conformance Test: Excluded testCsitxMultiInstance from the J721E conformance test suite, as J721E only supports a single CSITX instance and the test requires two (JIRA: ADASVISION-7527)
• TIOVX – Buffer Overflow in Complex Graphs: Increased TIVX_UTILS_MAX_MATCHED_INPUT_REF from its default value to 64 to prevent buffer overflow errors ("Too many ref index to store") in complex vision graphs with multiple parallel processing streams, such as the AVP demo
• Platform – tivxInit/tivxDeinit Restoration: Reverted tivxInit/tivxDeinit calls back into the appInit wrapper function, restoring correct behavior for vision apps requiring the TI OpenVX framework while allowing simpler utility apps to use appCommonInit independently
• Vision Apps – OD Dump Frame Indices: Corrected target dump frame indices in app_tidl_od from 5/10/20 to 4/9/19 (0-based indexing) and fixed num_frames to PIPELINE_TOTAL_NO_OF_FRAMES + 1 to ensure the last configured dump frame is reached. Cleaned up dump-related log messages (JIRA: ADASVISION-7355)
• J722S – MTOG ESM Event Number: Corrected the ESM event number used in the MTOG functional test from the R5F VIM interrupt line value (152) to the correct ESM event index (26) (PROC_SDL-10200)
• J722S – STOG TOG Run Test: Resolved issues with the TOG run test in the J722S unit test application by adding SOC_J722S to all relevant conditional guards, adding missing source files to the J722S makefile and project configuration, and fixing DebugP_log formatting (PROC_SDL-10197)
• PDK – DDR PHY Errata i2166 Workaround: Programmed PHY_LP_WAKEUP (DENALI_PHY_1318[15:8]) to a value greater than all LPI wakeup thresholds across F0/F1/F2 frequency set points to prevent Deep Sleep entry and avoid internal clock misalignment (PDK-20184)
• PDK – OSPI Flash Layout Resize: Resized OSPI flash layout for late app stages across J7200, J721E, J721S2, and J784S4: reduced late app1 region from 8MB to 4MB, redistributing space to late app2, providing up to ~28MB in HLOS boot path and 20MB in RTOS boot path (PDK-21809)
• PDK – Sciclient isSecureMode Side Effect: Removed unnecessary isSecureMode backup/restore in Sciclient_service() when forwarding PM and security messages, eliminating potential unintended side effects (PDK-21229)
