Problem when plugging in GoPro via HDMI input at iMx6 TinyRex

[hkkang]

Hello,

I'm trying to use GoPro with recenty purchased iMx6 TinyRex development kit.

[email protected]:~# uname -a
Linux imx6-tinyrexultra 4.1.36-yocto+g7f55696 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 29 17:36:08 CEST 2017 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

Actually, I plugged my GoPro in HDMI input and followed the reference( http://www.imx6rex.com/imx6-tiny-rex...es/#hdmi_input ) to watch the camera-inputs via HDMI output e.g. monitor.

I've followed the steps which the reference guided but faced an error when trying HDMI input -> HDMI output:

WARNING: erroneous pipeline: could not link imxv4l2src0 to autovideosink0

Just a single line of error message. So I try this:

After some googling, I found that 'caps' is suspected to be 'Capabilities' and tried 'gst-inspect-1.0':

And I tried 'gst-device-monitor' to see the name of video source:

xcb_connection_has_error() returned true

(OMITTED)

Device found:

v4l2.device.capabilities = 83886085 (0x05000005)
v4l2.device.device_caps = 0 (0x00000000)

The name of video input is EMPTY. Also, I've checked if any cameras were connected but no devices were found:

[email protected]:~# v4l2-ctl --list-devices
():
/dev/video0
/dev/video16
/dev/video17


I have tested HDMI input by clicking the 'HDMI input test' under Applications menu. So I believed that all of HDMI input, HDMI decoder, HDMI output work well.
Do I miss any drivers to be installed?

Please shed me lights to solve this problem..

Thanks in advance.

Dear Mr. hkkang,

Here are some links from testing from past that might show some cmd line arguments:
http://wiki.voipac.com/xwiki/bin/vie...2Fmax2Fultra29
http://wiki.voipac.com/xwiki/bin/vie...inyrex/adv7610

I usually did the testing against PC hdmi output.

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src [COLOR=#19177C]device[/COLOR][COLOR=#666666]=[/COLOR][COLOR=#BA2121]"/dev/video0"[/COLOR] ! video/x-raw,width[COLOR=#666666]=[/COLOR]1280,height[COLOR=#666666]=[/COLOR]720,framerate[COLOR=#666666]=[/COLOR]30/1 ! videoconvert ! autovideosink

I will ask my colleague to retest it. In the case "HDMI input test" works for you then this is its content

var_kernel=$(uname -r)

case ${var_kernel} in
3.14*) gst-launch imxv4l2src num-buffers=800 ! autovideosink ;;
4.1*) gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device="/dev/video0" num-buffers=800 ! videoconvert ! autovideosink ;;
\?) ;;

Thank you very much!
Now it works amazingly!
