DART-6UL - Camera
Testing Parallel camera interface
The i.MX6UL/L is capable of handling one parallel camera.
The SOC has one parallel camera port, up to 24 bit and upto 148.5 MHz pixel clock.
— Support 24-bit, 16-bit, 10-bit, and 8-bit input
— Support BT.656 interface
For more details refer to https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/reference-manual/IMX6ULRM.pdf Chapter 19. Section.
Hardware Setup
The Camera VSYNC line is in use on the EVK.
It is used as WDOG Output to force POR and disconnect DEBUG_UART_RTS_B line on Watch Dog event, allowing to boot from an external SD card.
We strongly recommend using only the RX & TX lines of the Debug UART in your board design.
Requirements for the Camera test:
- EVK with the C127 capacitor removed (C127 is located near the Coin Cell battery connector)
- Camera Adapter Board
Software Setup
The following device tree changes are needed:

Follow either the "Customizing the Linux kernel" or "Build the Linux kernel from source code" Wiki pages to build and update the device tree on your board
Camera probe
Make sure the camera is connected, and boot the board.
If the camera is detected, you should see the below output during bootup:
[ 7.443605] CSI: Registered sensor subdevice: ov5640 1-003c [ 7.447903] camera ov5640, is found
You can also run the below command to verify the camera was detected successfully:
# v4l2-ctl --list-devices
The output should look like this:
i.MX6S_CSI (platform:30710000.csi):
/dev/video1
pxp (pxp_v4l2_out):
/dev/video0
"i.MX6S_CSI" is the camera, and "pxp" is the i.MX Pixel Processing Pipeline.
i.MX platform specific gstreamer plugins
Run the below command to verify you have the i.MX6UL/L platform specific gstreamer plugins installed on your system:
# gst-inspect-1.0 | grep "imx" imxpxp: imxpxpvideotransform: Freescale PxP video transform imxpxp: imxpxpvideosink: Freescale PxP video sink imxv4l2videosrc: imxv4l2videosrc: V4L2 CSI Video Source imxaudio: imxmp3audioenc: Freescale i.MX MP3 encoder imxaudio: imxuniaudiodec: Freescale i.MX uniaudio decoder
Gstreamer example 1: Testing Camera Loopback / Camera preview on the display
The below pipelines are suitable for the fslc based Yocto releases for the (Yocto Rocko and newer).
- For 640x480@30fps:
# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=0 ! imxpxpvideosink
- For 320x240@30fps:
# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=1 ! imxpxpvideosink
- For 720x480@30fps:
# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=2 ! imxpxpvideosink
- For 720x576@30fps:
# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=3 ! imxpxpvideosink

# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=5 fps-n=15 ! imxpxpvideosink
- For 2592x1944@7.5fps:
# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=6 fps-n=7 ! imxpxpvideosink
Gstreamer example 2: Taking a JPEG snapshot from the camera
To capture and encode a JPEG snapshot from the camera, run one of the below pipelines depending on the wanted resolution:
- For 640x480@30fps:
# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=0 num-buffers=1 ! 'video/x-raw,format=UYVY' ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/test.jpg
- For 320x240@30fps:
# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=1 num-buffers=1 ! 'video/x-raw,format=UYVY' ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/test.jpg
- For 720x480@30fps:
# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=2 num-buffers=1 ! 'video/x-raw,format=UYVY' ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/test.jpg
- For 720x576@30fps:
# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=3 num-buffers=1 ! 'video/x-raw,format=UYVY' ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/test.jpg
- For 1280x720@30fps:
# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=4 num-buffers=1 ! 'video/x-raw,format=UYVY' ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/test.jpg
- For 1920x1080@7fps:
# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=5 fps-n=15 num-buffers=1 ! 'video/x-raw,format=UYVY' ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/test.jpg
