Thread hangs at "generating metadata" with Apple Silicon M1 chip using DoVi 4.0 XML

[jaynedoeh]

Hello,

when using 1.3.0 stable, converting a DoVi 4.0 XML to a RPU bin file using --generate , the thread hans at "generate metadata" forever even when using a XML file with only one single shot. Using a 13" M1 MacBook Pro with Montery 12.0.1.

A DoVi 2.9 XML works fine though.

It seems to be broken because of the L3 metadata, and apparently I don't have an official sample for that.
So I'll just fix it for generate, and if there are consequences we'll fix parsing with a proper sample later.

Here is a sample DoVi 4.0 XML:

Yeah I do have one, but level 3 metadata is not really used in RPUs because it's CMv4 metadata.
And RPUs usually stick to only CMv2.9, which is why I don't have "real" samples.

Good to know, thanks for the heads up. :)

Should be fixed in 8f5bf22.
Will be in 1.3.2.

It seems level 3 metadata is supposed to be in another structure of the RPU, which is currently not supported.
So the current behaviour may be incorrect.

DM v2 is fully supported in dovi_tool 1.4.5.

Same thing. Look it up.
