IMX6 Qt5 camera

[vaudoitlaurent]

Hi all,

on a custom board using imx6dp, with fsl bsp release, based on yocto warrior,

we are trying to get camera working with QT5.12.

camera are working well with nxp demo application mxc_v4l2_tvin.out

camera are working well with gstreamer command gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2src ! imxv4l2sink

with imxqtplayer, i'm able to get the camera view (but not able to choose the device)

with qtmultimedia example declarative-camera, i'm not able to get it works.

my questions:

-is it correct that declarative-camera can not work as it does not use imx gst plugins?

-is there a way to get the imxqtcamera source code (in order to get our own test applications)? i've not been able to get it somewhere (seems we download a imxqtapplication binary)

thanks in advance for your help

Regards

Laurent

Hi 

thanks for your answer,

i'm able to use declarative-camera now, the problem was that i missed the settings of some env variable for CAMERABIN 

export QT_GSTREAMER_CAMERABIN_VIDEOsrc=imxv4l2src

export QT_GSTREAMER_CAMERABIN_VIDEOSRC_DEVICE="/dev/video1"

Regarding the imxcamera application, is there a way to get the code? It seems this application use the overlaysink plugin, which does not do declarative-camera,

and we would like to be sure we use the better plugins for our applications.

Thanks

Regards

Hello vaudoitlaurent,

No, its not correct that declarative camera can not work with gst-plugin you should be able to use dev/VideoX to select your camera.

I suggest you to work whit 5.10.72 which have another version of yocto, to avoid those problems with qt and your camera. you can download it from:
