Hi!
To see if this board is viable for further projects, I’m trying to test a H264+RTSP camera stream using an OV5647 (Raspberry Pi’s camera) and gstreamer.
The guides for the DragonBoard 410c’s (since it has the same SoC) are pretty much useful for setting the board up.
For the OS I’m using the Linaro’s Debian Sid and trying the samples mentioned under there: https://releases.linaro.org/96boards/dragonboard410c/linaro/debian/21.08/
Trying to enable camera
For enabling to camera, I’ve found this thead helpful: How to enable dual OV5645 on DB410c
It links to a small tool to update the dtb (dt-update), which I’ve tried. However, after checking the actual device tree of the board itself ( arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/apq8016-sbc.dts ), some nodes are different and/or already enabled.
In the end I’m trying with the following overlay:
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;
/ {
compatible = "qcom,msm8916";
fragment@1 {
target-path = "/soc/cci@1b0c000/i2c-bus@0/camera_rear@3b";
//#address-cells = <1>;
//#size-cells = <0>;
__overlay__ {
reg = <0x36>;
compatible = "ovti,ov5647";
status = "okay";
};
};
};
This doesn’t report any errors in dmesg around the part where the “Linux video capture interface v:2.00” comes up, but neither a camera registry log line or “/dev/media0” doesn’t appear either.
Could you please give me hints what to do further?
Gstreamer + RTSP + H264
Until the camera starts working, I am trying to test h264 encoding with gstreamer using videotestsrc as source.
The funny thing is that while a simpler videotestsrc ! v4l2h264enc ! rtph264pay ! udpsink transfer seems to be working, a minimal gsteamer RTSP server (same pipeline minus the udpsink) gives the following error:

Could you please give me pointers why this could be happening?
