DART-6UL - Camera
Testing Parallel camera interface
IMX6UL is capable of handling one parallel camera.
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
- EVK : https://www.variscite.com/products/single-board-computers/var-6ulcustomboard/ requires one <TBD> Capacitor removed. Please remove the C<TBD>
- https://www.variscite.com/products/accessories/var-ext-cb6ul/ is required with camera
Software Setup
Rocko/Sumo version , requires following device tree changes.

- Copy above code, and paste to patch file
- Compile the device tree changes as per: Customizing the Linux kernel
- Update your kernel device tree and filesystem as per: * Burning Yocto binaries to NAND flash/eMMC via SD card
Camera probe
Make sure the camera is connected, and boot the board.
If the camera is detected, you should see below output during bootup
[ 4.346295] udevd[200]: starting udev-3.2.5 [ 5.781666] 1-003c supply DOVDD not found, using dummy regulator [ 5.818277] 1-003c supply DVDD not found, using dummy regulator [ 5.873060] 1-003c supply AVDD not found, using dummy regulator [ 7.443605] CSI: Registered sensor subdevice: ov5640 1-003c [ 7.447903] camera ov5640, is found
Run the below command to verify the camera was detected successfully:
# v4l2-ctl --list-devices
This should output below
i.MX6S_CSI (platform:30710000.csi):
/dev/video1
pxp (pxp_v4l2_out):
/dev/video0
In the output seen above, "i.MX6S_CSI" is the camera, and "pxp" is the i.MX Pixel Processing Pipeline.
i.MX platform specific gstreamer plugins
Run below command to verify you have the DART-6UL/6ULL 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
- For 1280x720@30fps:
# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=4 ! 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
Transfer your /tmp/test.jpg to PC via SCP and view it to make sure your JPEG capture works.
