gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080 ! waylandsink

works on the NXP-provided L4.14.90_2.0.0_ga_images_MX8MMEVK/fsl-image-validation-imx-imx8mmevk.sdcard.

However, if I use Yocto to build the image using:

DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland MACHINE=imx8mmevk source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-wayland

bitbake fsl-image-validation-imx

I just get a black screen with the above gst-launch-1.0 command:

Any advice?

Problem solved.

gstreamer does not work properly with the this DISTRO.

DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland MACHINE=imx8mmevk source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-wayland

 

I have to use:

DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland MACHINE=imx8mmevk source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-xwayland

I have seen comments in community.nxp.com where people have said fsl-imx-wayland is ok, but it really depends on what you are trying to do. Just note, I have found gstreamer does NOT work with this. You need to use fsl-imx-xwayland. I don't know the exact root cause (already spend countless hours building different recipes), but hopefully this helps the rest of you.

I found fsl-image-validation-imx-imx8mmevk.manifest in both the NXP demo folder and my local Yocto build folder and when I compare the two they are quite different. I looked at the file SCR-4.14.98_2.0.0_ga and it lists some patches that were added to the META_FSL_BSP_RELEASE. I am not sure if this is relevant. Of the ones I diffed,  I see the ones related to gstreamer but I am guessing these don't matter.


gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-ximagesink aarch64_mx8mm 1.14.4.imx
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-xvimagesink aarch64_mx8mm 1.14.4.imx
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good-ximagesrc aarch64_mx8mm 1.14.4.imx

I reran the Yocto flow using Ubuntu 16.04.1 and I now see a very dark image from gst-launch. Any advice for debugging this issue?

Thanks for your reply. Which demo image are you referring to?

I had a typo in my original reference to what worked:

The NXP provided image L4.14.98_2.0.0_ga_images_MX8MMEVK/fsl-image-validation-imx-imx8mmevk.sdcard works. But when I try to build using Yocto, it fails.

yes I know that .sdcard in demo image works, I mean that you can try the demo kenerl image instead of your own built image to test first

Please elaborate the steps as I am relatively new to this process.

If you are referring to videotestsrc:

I run this and I get a green screen which is not what it is supposed to do.

gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc ! autovideosink
