'imxv4l2videosrc' shows no capabilities

[dh29]

i.MX7D, gstreamer-1.0, imx gstreamer plugin v0.12.3

========================================

In my on-going battle to get an AD7280M (csi-mipi) working on an i.MX7 I have reached the point whereby occasionally I can capture an image (albeit wrong colors), but only if I use the v4l2src. I cannot get the 'imxv4l2videosrc' to work.

I have inspected the 'imxv4l2videosrc' using, 

gst-inspect-1.0 imxv4l2videosrc

and it shows the following:

So there are no capabilities listed with the 'video/x-raw' ??? Anybody any ideas why???

Hi dh29,

The i.MX7D has no VPU.

Hi Bio_TICFSL ,

I have managed to get gstreamer to capture using v4l2src , albeit with 2 images; one on top of the other (I'm struggling to get the iMX7 to capture anything CCIR / BT 656 Interlaced mode).

So because the i.MX7D has no VPU, this means that the gstreamer i.MX plugins are not applicable?
