Recently I published this i.MX Dev Blog post about the Gateworks plugin gst-variable-rtsp-server support for i.MX 6.
Now, you can check how to use it on i.MX 8 SoCs as well.
1. Preparing the image
In order to use gst-variable-rtsp-server plugin, prepare your machine and distro:
Add the following line to conf/local.conf:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append += "gstreamer1.0-rtsp-server gst-variable-rtsp-server"
Download the attached patch and apply it by doing:
$ cd <yocto_path>/sources/meta-fsl-bsp-release/ $ git am ~/Download/0001-Add-RTSP-support-for-i.MX-8-L4.14.78_ga1.0.0-or-olde.patch
Note: This patch is not necessary for L4.14.98_ga2.0.0 BSP!
Then, build the image with bitbake and deploy it to the SD card.
