Hello, My goal is to better understand how to write an application that makes use of the omap3isp and media controller frameworks and v4l2. I'm attempting to make use of Laurent's omap3-isp-live example application as a starting point and play with the AEC/WB capability. My problem is that when I start the live application, the display turns blue (it seems when the chromakey fill is done), but no video appears on the display. I do think that I'm getting good (or at least statistics) from the ISP because I can change the view in front of the camera (by putting my hand in front of the lens) and the gain settings change. root@beagleboard:~# live Device /dev/video6 opened: OMAP3 ISP resizer output (media). viewfinder configured for 2011 1024x768 AEWB: #win 10x7 start 16x74 size 256x256 inc 30x30 Device /dev/video7 opened: omap_vout (). 3 buffers requested.

I was getting errors in the application attempted to allocate USERPTR buffers for 1024x768 frames: root@beagleboard:~# live Device /dev/video6 opened: OMAP3 ISP resizer output (media). viewfinder configured for 2011 1024x768 AEWB: #win 10x7 start 16x74 size 256x256 inc 30x30 Device /dev/video7 opened: omap_vout (). 3 buffers requested. Buffer 0 mapped at address 0x40302000. Buffer 1 mapped at address 0x404df000. Buffer 2 mapped at address 0x4066e000. 3 buffers requested. Buffer 0 too small (1572864 bytes required, 1474560 bytes available.) So, I changed drivers/media/video/omap/omap_voutdef.h to increase the buffer size slightly. /* Max Resolution supported by the driver */ #define VID_MAX_WIDTH 1280 /* Largest width */ #define VID_MAX_HEIGHT 768 /* Largest height */ <-- Was 720 I'm pretty sure that wasn't the only way to solve the problem, but it did allow the live application to run without errors. I am using a patched variant of the current Angstrom mainline (3.2.16) with the MT9P031 sensor and a DVI display on Beagleboard-xM and am able to run the following commands and see a live video stream on the display. I suspect that this indicates that hardware setup works: media-ctl -v -r -l '"mt9p031 2-0048":0->"OMAP3 ISP CCDC":0[1], "OMAP3 ISP CCDC":2->"OMAP3 ISP preview":0[1], "OMAP3 ISP preview":1->"OMAP3 ISP resizer":0[1], "OMAP3 ISP resizer":1->"OMAP3 ISP resizer output":0[1]' media-ctl -v -f '"mt9p031 2-0048":0 [SGRBG12 1024x768], "OMAP3 ISP CCDC":2 [SGRBG10 1024x768], "OMAP3 ISP preview":1 [UYVY 10006x760], "OMAP3 ISP resizer":1 [UYVY 1024x768]' yavta -f UYVY -s 1024x768 -n 8 --skip 3 --capture=1000 --stdout /dev/video6 | mplayer - -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=1024:h=768:format=uyvy -vo fbdev Thanks for any tips or assistance!
