Displaying Camera Images using GStreamer

Using MIPI Camera

These instructions are for using a OV5645 MIPI Camera and MIPI Adapter Mezzanine board.

Before GStreamer can be used, the VIN/CSI settings must best configured manually on the command line using the media-ctl utility.

In the BSP, this is done by running the script /home/root/vin-init.sh in the rootfs.

This file located in the BSP at rzg2_bsp_eva_v104/meta-rzg2/recipes-multimedia/vin-init/files/vin-init.sh

The BSP also installs the file systemd service file "vin.service" into /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vin.service so that the vin-init.sh script runs automatically on system boot.

For example, for RZ/G2E,the follow command will be executed:

media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -r  
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -l "'rcar_csi2 feaa0000.csi2':1 -> 'VIN4 output':0 [1]"   
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V "'rcar_csi2 feaa0000.csi2':1 [fmt:UYVY8_2X8/1280x960 field:none]"   
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V "'ov5645 3-003c':0 [fmt:UYVY8_2X8/1280x960 field:none]"  

This connects VIN4 (/dev/video0) to OV5645.

The only thing you can change in G2E is 'VIN4 output' => 'VIN5 output' if you want to use /dev/video1

For more information, please refer to the document R01US0400EJ0107_GStreamer_UME_v1.0x.pdf that comes the RZG2 Group BSP Manual Set that can be downloaded from renesas.com

For the RZ/G2L and RZ/V2L, the settings are slightly different because the device name is rzg2l_csi2. Supported resolutions are 1280x960, 1920x1080, 2592x1944.

media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -r
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -l "'rzg2l_csi2 10830400.csi2':1 -> 'CRU output':0 [1]"
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V "'rzg2l_csi2 10830400.csi2':1 [fmt:UYVY8_2X8/1920x1080 field:none]"
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V "'ov5645 0-003c':0 [fmt:UYVY8_2X8/1920x1080 field:none]"

Using USB Camera

These instructions are useful to check if USB camera is working or not with RZ/G2 board.

1. Check whether UVC driver is enabled or not. If there is no output, UVC driver is not enabled.

root@hihope-rzg2m:~# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep USB_VIDEO
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS=y
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS_INPUT_EVDEV=y
root@hihope-rzg2m:~# dmesg | grep uvcvideo
[    1.977174] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
[    3.070300] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device HD Pro Webcam C920 (046d:0892)

2. Check camera device number

root@hihope-rzg2m:~# v4l2-ctl --list-devices
fe960000.vsp rpf.0 input (platform:fe960000.vsp):
        /dev/video2
        /dev/video3
        /dev/video4
        /dev/video5
        /dev/video6
        /dev/video7

fe9a0000.vsp rpf.0 input (platform:fe9a0000.vsp):
        /dev/video8
        /dev/video9

HD Pro Webcam C920 (usb-ee000000.usb-1):
        /dev/video0

3. List supported video formats and resolutions of a specific video device:

#  v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext --device /dev/video1

4. Run

root@hihope-rzg2m:~# modprobe uvcvideo # to enable USB camera driver
root@hihope-rzg2m:~# gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! videoconvert ! waylandsink
