Before you start any of below pipeline make sure you have camera connected. IMX family of processor uses gstreamer as multimedia framework.
Please refer to https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/
Run below command to see if you have got the camera detected
root@imx:~# v4l2-ctl --list-devices
This should output below
root@imx:~# i.MX6S_CSI (platform:30710000.csi): /dev/video1 pxp (pxp_v4l2_out): /dev/video0
As you can see above i.MX6S_CSI (platform:30710000.csi): is camera and pxp (pxp_v4l2_out): pixel procesing engine for overlay on display
Checking whether you have got the imx platform plugins installed on your filesystem: Run below command to check whether you have the IMX platform specific gstreamer plugin installed or not.
root@imx:~# 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
- imxv4l2videosrc: is the IMX family CSI camera v4l2 community plugin. Currently devkits only supports OV5640 as YUV input.
where sensor process incoming light and converts it to YUV 4:2:2 format data. MIPI data is captured by the MIPI CSI input of the devkit. Bayer processing not supported.
Camera Preview on Display :
- For 640x480@30fps:
root@imx:~# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=0 ! imxpxpvideosink
- NTSC 720x480@30fps:
root@imx:~# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=1 ! imxpxpvideosink
- 720P 1280x720@30fps :
root@imx:~# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=2 ! imxpxpvideosink
- For 1080P@30fps:
root@imx:~# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=3 ! imxpxpvideosink
- For QSXGA 2592x1944:
root@imx:~# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=4 ! imxpxpvideosink
To Capture JPEG snapshot:
- For 640x480:
root@imx:~# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=0 num-buffers=1 ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/test.jpg
- NTSC 720x480:
root@imx:~# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=1 num-buffers=1 ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/test.jpg
- 720P 1280x720:
root@imx:~# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=2 num-buffers=1 ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/test.jpg
- For 1080P:
root@imx:~# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=3 num-buffers=1 ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/test.jpg
- For QSXGA 2592x1944:
root@imx:~# gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc device=/dev/video1 imx-capture-mode=4 num-buffers=1 ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/test.jpg
Please note : jpegenc is opensource software based jpeg encoder. This gets executed on CPU not using JPEG hardware acceleration.
Transfer /tmp/test.jpg to your PC and see whether you got correct snapshot or not.
Some of the camera examples you may want to refer to :http://variwiki.com/index.php?title=VAR-SOM-MX6_GSTREAM, however please note, IMX7 has different multimedia capabilities.
