==v4l2-based applications==
 +
This section provides some examples of applications based on well-known [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video4Linux|Video4Linux API].
 +
 +
== saLoopBack ==
 +
 +
This sample program capture a video stream on v4l2 input and display the frames on v4l2 output. More information regarding the software can be found on [http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI81XX_Video_Capture_Driver_User_Guide#saLoopBack this] TI wiki article.
 +
 +
== UVCcapture Tool ==
 +
 +
This utility take a snapshot for USB WebCAM using v4l2 driver class uvc
 +
 +
download [http://staticwave.ca/source/uvccapture/uvccapture-0.5.tar.bz2 uvccapture], compile it on target
 +
 +
<pre class="board-terminal">
 +
$ wget http://staticwave.ca/source/uvccapture/uvccapture-0.5.tar.bz2
 +
$ tar xvjf uvccapture-0.5.tar.bz
 +
$ cd uvccapture-0.5
 +
$ make clean
 +
$ make all

== Dual EMAC mode (NaonEVB-Lite)==
 +
 +
The two Ethernet interfaces on [[Category:NaonEVB-Lite|NaonEVB-Lite]] can be used as:
 +
* Ethernet switch: Linux sees only one Ethernet interface and packets are routed between the two ports like a standard Ethernet switch does.
 +
* Dual EMAC Mode: Linux sees two independent Ethernet interfaces and packet are routed between the two like a Ethernet router does.
 +
 +
The default configuration provided with [[Naon Embedded Linux Kit (NELK)]] is ''Dual EMAC Mode'', where ''eth0'' is the [[Category:Naon|Naon]] on-board 10/100Mbit Ethernet interface, while eth1 is the  [[Category:NaonEVB-Lite|NaonEVB-Lite]] Gigabit interface.
 +
 +
The official TI documentation to enable and use Dual EMAC is [http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/DM814x_AM387x_Ethernet_Switch_User_Guide#Dual_Standalone_EMAC_mode here]
 +
 +
Please note that no routing is enabled between the two interface is Dual EMAC mode by default. Linux userspace tool should be used to configure VLAN tagging and packet routing rules.
 +
 +
 +
== Extending the root file system ==
 +
NELK root file system derives directly from the one delivered along with TI EZSDK. In order to enrich it by installing new pre-built packages, well-known '''opkg''' tool comes to help.
 +
 +
The following instructions describes how to configure opkg in order to add more packages in order to provide a richer set of libraries, tools and applications.
 +
 +
To configure opgk to retrieve pre-built packages from angstrom repository, please follow these instructions:
 +
<pre>
 +
$ echo "src/gz angstrom-base http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base" >> /etc/opkg/opkg.conf
 +
$ opkg update
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
Please note that '''packages provided by angstrom repository are not optimized for DM8148 media hardware blocks such as video codec'''. For this reason, pay attention to not replace DM8148-optimized applications and libraries provided by default root file system.

Introduction[edit | edit source]

This page lists some statistics and information about real use cases based on Naon Embedded Linux Kit (NELK).

Gstreamer-based applications[edit | edit source]

For the sake of completeness, for each use case the full command line used to run the test application is provided. System software is based on Naon Embedded Linux Kit (NELK).

N.B.: before launching the gst pipelines, it is required to source the /home/root/gst-nelk.sh included into the NELK root file system, which sets the following environment variables:

export GST_REGISTRY=/home/root/gst-nelk_registry.bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gst/lib
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/opt/gst/lib/gstreamer-0.10
export PATH=/opt/gst/bin:$PATH
export GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER=/opt/gst/libexec/gstreamer-0.10/gst-plugin-scanner

Video capture and encoding[edit | edit source]

V4L2 1080p60 Capture/HDMI display[edit | edit source]

  • Description:
    • 1080p60 video is captured from VIN0A using v4l2src gstreamer component
    • output displayed on HDMI at the same resolution

V4L2 1080p60 Capture/H264 encoding/HDMI display[edit | edit source]

  • Description:
    • 1080p60 video is captured from VIN0A using v4l2src gstreamer component
    • DEI/Scaler is used to split the source
    • the former goes to H264 encoder (result saved to file)
    • the latter goes to HDMI output

V4L2 Capture, decimated[edit | edit source]

  • Description
    • 1080p50 video is captured from VIN1A using v4l2src
    • input is decimated to 10 fps, using the same v4l2src
    • output is displayed on HDMI

v4l2-based applications[edit | edit source]

This section provides some examples of applications based on well-known API.

saLoopBack[edit | edit source]

This sample program capture a video stream on v4l2 input and display the frames on v4l2 output. More information regarding the software can be found on this TI wiki article.

UVCcapture Tool[edit | edit source]

This utility take a snapshot for USB WebCAM using v4l2 driver class uvc

download uvccapture, compile it on target

$ wget http://staticwave.ca/source/uvccapture/uvccapture-0.5.tar.bz2
$ tar xvjf uvccapture-0.5.tar.bz
$ cd uvccapture-0.5
$ make clean
$ make all
$ uvccapture -v -d/dev/video0 -x1280 -y720 -t0 -osnapshot.jpg -q95

Dual EMAC mode (NaonEVB-Lite)[edit | edit source]

The two Ethernet interfaces on can be used as:

  • Ethernet switch: Linux sees only one Ethernet interface and packets are routed between the two ports like a standard Ethernet switch does.
  • Dual EMAC Mode: Linux sees two independent Ethernet interfaces and packet are routed between the two like a Ethernet router does.

The default configuration provided with Naon Embedded Linux Kit (NELK) is Dual EMAC Mode, where eth0 is the on-board 10/100Mbit Ethernet interface, while eth1 is the Gigabit interface.

The official TI documentation to enable and use Dual EMAC is here

Please note that no routing is enabled between the two interface is Dual EMAC mode by default. Linux userspace tool should be used to configure VLAN tagging and packet routing rules.


Extending the root file system[edit | edit source]

NELK root file system derives directly from the one delivered along with TI EZSDK. In order to enrich it by installing new pre-built packages, well-known opkg tool comes to help.

The following instructions describes how to configure opkg in order to add more packages in order to provide a richer set of libraries, tools and applications.

To configure opgk to retrieve pre-built packages from angstrom repository, please follow these instructions:

$ echo "src/gz angstrom-base http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base" >> /etc/opkg/opkg.conf
$ opkg update

Please note that packages provided by angstrom repository are not optimized for DM8148 media hardware blocks such as video codec. For this reason, pay attention to not replace DM8148-optimized applications and libraries provided by default root file system.
