i.MX8MPlus LPDDR4 EVK board

NXP i.MX Release Distro 5.15-honister

I would like to understand if it is at all possible to use the g2d_blit to write data to a gstreamer buffer

Hello Keith,

 

Yes, it is possible if you use the G2D API then go to gstreamer.

Thankyou for confirming it is possible, Could you provide more details on the how as I am unsure if what I am trying is achievable or if another approach is needed.

I have tried the following method, creating a gsteamer plugin, that has an overlay buffer then using g2d to blit to the buffer

buffer = gst_buffer_new_and_alloc (4 * overlay->width * overlay->height);
gst_buffer_replace (&overlay->overlay_image, buffer);
gst_buffer_unref (buffer);
gst_buffer_map (buffer, &map, GST_MAP_READWRITE);

To test the overlay, I can write directly to the overlay buffer using memcpy etc however If I try to blit directly into the gst_buffer, I run into issues

G2D – Requires Physical memory address
Gst – allocates virtual memory address

Would obtaining the Physical address for the gst buffer be a workable approach, or have I misunderstood how to link g2d to gstreamer.
