i.MX 8M PLUS EVK dev board: how to use the H.265 video encoder

[msarwar]

Hi guys,

We have an i.MX 8M Plus dev board and are investigating the video encoding and decoding using gstreamer. We have the i.MX8GStreamerUserGuide to help, but there isn't any mention of H.265 encoding which may be unique to the i.MX 8M Plus.

So, my question is, does anyone know a gstreamer command that will encode H.265 using the hardware encoder on the 8M Plus ? Is it possible to use a file as input or does the input have to be from a camera ?

Also, I cannot find the reference manual for the 8M Plus, is there one available ?

Thanks

Hi Mahtab

one can try (capture camera and do VPU encoding):

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! video/x-raw,width=1280,height=720 ! queue ! vpuenc_hevc ! h265parse ! filesink location=test_1920_1080.h265
