vp8 decoder assembly alignment issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What is the expected behavior? What do you see instead?
when i run vp8 decoder for arm cortex-a8 on real view debugger, in 
sixtappredict4x4_neon.asm file, secondpass_filter4x4_only assembly function has 
following code.
    sub             r0, r0, r1, lsl #1
    add             r3, r12, r3, lsl #5

    vld1.32         {d27[0]}, [r0], r1      ;load src data
 vector load instruction is giving exception when the address is unaligned.

 It should not give any exception, the code need to be modified to work  even for unaligned access.

But the same issue is not coming when i ran on pandaboard with linux image,why?

What version are you using? On what operating system?

libvpx-v1.0.0, windows 7 (ARM Real view debugger suite debugger)

Can you reproduce using the vpxdec or vpxenc tools? What command line are
you using?

Please provide any additional information below.

Unaligned access support is a requirement for the ARM version.
Have you initialized your cortex-a8 correctly to enable unaligned accesses? set 
U=1 and A=0 in CP15?

The reason why you dont get the exception on pandaboard is exactly this, it is 
initialized properly and unaligned accesses are handled correctly by the system.

What version of RVDS are you using?

By default A=0 in cortex-a8 CP15 c1 control register.
But i am not finding U bit in CP15 c1 control register

I am using Metrowerks codewarrior IDE 5.7.0 compiler and RVDEBUG V3.0 service 
pack 1
simulator.

My mistake, U bit is not anymore in Cortex.

"The MMU controls what type of memory the CPU sees at a particular address.  
There are three memory types: Normal, Device, and Strongly-Ordered.  Only 
Normal memory supports unaligned accesses.  So, in order to have unaligned 
accesses work on the Cortex-A8/9, the memory being accessed needs to be marked 
as Normal and the CP15 A bit must be 0."

I think there are RVDS examples of setting up MMU.

can you suggest any example ?

the example i had in mind is actually in the ARM Profiler...xvid

Please re-open if the ARM configuration you have does not work.

thanks
