IMX7 V4L2 Camera Error

[gopinathsriniva]

Hi All,

I am checking camera streaming in IMX7 using gstreamer commands. I am getting below error when I tried to stream 2304 x 1536 (3.4 MP) resolution. Below is the gstreamer command I have used.  

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! "video/x-raw,format=(string)UYVY,width=(int)2304,height=(int)1536" ! videoscale ! imxv4l2sink

And I got the below error. 

====== IMXV4L2SINK: 4.0.9 build on Jun 30 2016 05:45:07. ======
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
display(/dev/fb0) resolution is (1280x720).

Whereas the same command works fine for 1080P and 720P resolutions and the camera streaming works fine without any issues. 

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! "video/x-raw,format=(string)UYVY,width=(int)1280,height=(int)720" ! videoscale ! imxv4l2sink
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! "video/x-raw,format=(string)UYVY,width=(int)1920,height=(int)1080" ! videoscale ! imxv4l2sink

When I  tried with fakesink instead of imxv4l2sink, there will be no issues which means the issue is in the display side especially for 3.4 and 3 mega pixels (2304 x 1536 and 2304 x 1296). I want to test the streaming of this higher resolutions. Can  anyone guide me on solving this error ? Your suggestions are highly appropriated.

Thanks,

Hi Gopinath srinivasan,

                                    I have used OV5640_MIPI for bringing up camera drivers and configured as shown in the imx-reference guide but while building the image using bitbake core-image-minimal i am getting errors. So find the attachments below and Is there any configuration have to be made in local.conf file.

Thanks with regards

Hi,

I have tested USB camera in SABRESD board. This can be done by enabling below def_config in SABRESD config file.

CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS=y
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS_INPUT_EVDEV=y

I am not sure about your case whether it is MIPI or parallel camera. You can elaborate your problem with more details in a new thread so other community members can help you.

pls try to use the command "gst-inspect-1.0 v4l2src", you can find all of support format for v4l2src, it seems the resolution you use doesn't support in v4l2src.
