DART-MX95 Camera
Testing MIPI-CSI2 cameras
Before running any of the pipelines below make sure you have camera(s) connected. i.MX95 family of processors uses gstreamer as multimedia framework. Please refer to https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/
Camera Probe
Run the following command to see if you have the camera(s) detected
# v4l2-ctl --list-devices
This should produce the following output
mxc-isi-cap (platform:4ad50000.isi):
/dev/video0
/dev/video1
/dev/video2
/dev/video3
/dev/video4
/dev/video5
/dev/video6
/dev/video7
/dev/media0
mxc-jpeg codec (platform:4c500000.jpegdec):
/dev/video10
mxc-jpeg codec (platform:4c550000.jpegenc):
/dev/video11
wave6-dec (platform:wave6-dec):
/dev/video8
wave6-enc (platform:wave6-enc):
/dev/video9
The camera interface is /dev/video0
Testing Camera Preview on Display
The driver is implemented using V4L2’s Media Controller (MC) API. In the MC API, each element in the media pipeline is configured individually by the user-space application.
Setup links:
# media-ctl -l "'ov5640_mainline 2-003c':0->'csidev-4ad30000.csi':0 [1]" # media-ctl -l "'csidev-4ad30000.csi':1 -> '4ac10000.syscon:formatter@20':0 [1]"
Setup the media pipeline:
# media-ctl -V "'ov5640_mainline 2-003c':0 [fmt: UYVY8_1X16/${width}x${heigth} field:none]"
# media-ctl -V "'csidev-4ad30000.csi':0 [fmt: UYVY8_1X16/${width}x${heigth} field:none]"
# media-ctl -V "'4ac10000.syscon:formatter@20':0 [fmt: UYVY8_1X16/${width}x${heigth} field:none]"
# media-ctl -V "'crossbar':2 [fmt: UYVY8_1X16/${width}x${heigth} field:none]"
# media-ctl -V "'mxc_isi.0':0 [fmt: UYVY8_1X16/${width}x${heigth} field:none]"
# media-ctl -V "'mxc_isi.1':0 [fmt: UYVY8_1X16/${width}x${heigth} field:none]"
# media-ctl -V "'mxc_isi.2':0 [fmt: UYVY8_1X16/${width}x${heigth} field:none]"
# media-ctl -V "'mxc_isi.3':0 [fmt: UYVY8_1X16/${width}x${heigth} field:none]"
# media-ctl -V "'mxc_isi.4':0 [fmt: UYVY8_1X16/${width}x${heigth} field:none]"
# media-ctl -V "'mxc_isi.5':0 [fmt: UYVY8_1X16/${width}x${heigth} field:none]"
# media-ctl -V "'mxc_isi.6':0 [fmt: UYVY8_1X16/${width}x${heigth} field:none]"
# media-ctl -V "'mxc_isi.7':0 [fmt: UYVY8_1X16/${width}x${heigth} field:none]"
After configuring the pipeline, it can be confirmed by reading it back, for example:
# media-ctl --get-v4l2 "'ov5640_mainline 2-003c':0
The following examples show how to preview the camera on the display for different resolutions:
