Hello, I have an i.mx6 sabrelite (BD-SL-I.MX6).
I'm using this ubuntu 14.04 trusty image. (https://boundarydevices.com/ubuntu-trusty-for-i-mx6-boards-june-2015-kernel-3-10-53/)
I have some questions about video devices. (/dev/video)
Q1) If I type "ls /dev/video*", I see 5 devices:
/dev/video0
/dev/video1
/dev/video2
/dev/video16
/dev/video17
Why is there so many video devices ?
What are these devices corresponding to on the board ?
Why is there a gap between 2 and 16 ?
Also, I tried to read the video format but I have the following answer:
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats-ext
Failed to open /dev/video0: Resource temporarily unavailable
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 --list-formats-ext
Failed to open /dev/video1: Resource temporarily unavailable
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video2 --list-formats-ext
Failed to open /dev/video2: Resource temporarily unavailable
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video16 --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video17 --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
Are they devices working OK ?
Q2) I also have another question about a USB Frame Grabber. (Also know as Easycap with a Syntek 1160 chip)
(See this link: https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Easycap)
I know that this driver is supported in the mainline kernel.
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/media/usb/stk1160
Also, when I plug the Easycap device in the USB of the Sabrelite I see the device correctly with lsusb.
Bus 001 Device 013: ID 05e1:0408 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd STK1160 Video Capture Device
However, it does not appear under /dev/video3 as it normally do with other computer.
Any idea what is wrong ?
Is the stk1160 module supported in this image ?
Should I recompile the stk1160 module and insert it ?
