Need to run RTSP server in i.mx.8mp

[sunilaerxlabs]

Dear NXP Community,

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Sunil, and I am a Lead Software Engineer at AerXLabs Inc. We are currently developing a video streaming device utilizing the i.MX8MP processor and requires assistance with running an RTSP server on the platform to stream video from a connected camera.

We have a functional implementation of this requirement that was developed for a different processor. The existing solution leverages the GStreamer module gst-variable-rtsp-server. However, we are encountering challenges while attempting to install this module on the i.MX8MP.

We referred to the documentation available at this link, but the folder structure and instructions do not align with the setup on our end. We are using NXP's guide IMXLXYOCTOUG to set up the Linux Git repository on our host PC. The Yocto distribution we are working with is fsl-imx-xwayland, and the target device selected is imx8mp-lpddr4-evk.

Could you kindly provide guidance or detailed steps for installing the GStreamer RTSP server on the i.MX8MP?

Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Sunil

hi Joanxie,

We are using bsp LF6.6.3_1.0.0.

We are not able to apply git patch as instructed in the link. 

For example, the link instructs to execute this command 

$ cd <yocto_path>/sources/meta-fsl-bsp-release/

but, I don't see a folder with the name 'meta-fst-bsp-release'  
the patch file refers to a .bb file 'imx/meta-bsp/recipes-multimedia/gstreamer/gstreamer1.0-plugins-good_1.14.imx.bb' this folder path doesn't exist in the repo I cloned. 

The link I mentioned is 4 years old, is there a latest one? 

Please share any latest documentation on running the RTSP Server in i.MX8MP

this patch is for old bsp, you don't need to add it into the new bsp, just install the RTSP plugins
