gst-inspect is a tool to to get documentation about GStreamer elements. Pipeline Check installed GST elements gst-inspect | tail -1 Check installed FSL GST elements gst-inspect | grep imx Element documentation gst-inspect <gst element>

gst-launch is the tool to execute GStreamer pipelines. Task Pipeline Looking at caps gst-launch -v  <gst elements> Enable log gst-launch --gst-debug=<element>:<level> gst-launch --gst-debug=videotestsrc:5 videotestsrc ! filesink location=/dev/null

Note: All these gstreamer pipelines have been tested using a i.MX6Q board with a kernel version 3.0.35-2026-geaaf30e. Tools: gst-launch gst-inspect FSL Pipeline Examples: GStreamer i.MX6 Decoding GStreamer i.MX6 Encoding GStreamer Transcoding and Scaling GStreamer i.MX6 Multi-Display GStreamer i.MX6 Multi-Overlay GStreamer i.MX6 Camera Streaming GStreamer RTP Streaming Other plugins: GStreamer ffmpeg GStreamer i.MX6 Image Capture GStreamer i.MX6 Image Display Misc: Testing GStreamer Tracing GStreamer Pipelines GStreamer miscellaneous

This PDF is training material for showing examples on video encoding, video decoding, video streaming on an i.MX53QSB board.

All Boards Creating App MP3 OpenEmbedded

BSP version: 11.03 Multimedia Package version: 11.03 1. Install BSP and Multi Media package (11.03 release) 2. Avoid Display Timeout: append the following line to rootfs/etc/oprofile: echo -e -n '\033[9]' > /dev/tty0 3. Set VGA port as the primary display in the kernel command line: video=mxcdi1fb:GBR24,VGA-XGA di1_primary vga 4. Connect a VGA monitor and WVGA display to the MX53 Quick Start 5. Boot Linux on MX53 Quick Start board (NFS is used in this example) 6. Unblank WVGA display (fb1): $ echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb1/blank 7. On the target enter into /dev/shm directory. If the following files are present: vss_lock vss_shmem ,delete them. 8. On your host, edit the ltib/rootfs/usr/share/vssconfig as following: vss device definition Master=VGA, Slave=WVGA master display [VGA] type = framebuffer format = RGBP fb_num = 2 main_fb_num = 0 vs_max = 4 slave display [WVGA] type = framebuffer format = RGBP fb_num = 1 vs_max = 4 9. Run the Gstreamer pipeline below: gst-launch filesrc location=file.mp4 ! qtdemux ! mfw_vpudecoder ! mfw_isink display=VGA display-1=WVGA Video is played on the VGA and WVGA panels. A 720p file can be played at the same time.
