Loopback video test

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi!

At https://github.com/uli/looptest you can find a script to verify
video output using a V4L input device. It creates a test pattern in
various resolutions using modetest, captures it on a given video input
device, and then does a fuzzy compare to verify that the captured
frame sorta kinda looks the way it should. The README file explains
how to use it and what external tools it relies on.

I have run these tests on a Lager board with an HDMI cable connecting
HDMI OUT and HDMI IN; I have found these issues with the output
signal:

- Mode 640x480-60, of all things, does not work.
- After switching a couple of times between resolutions that otherwise
work, sometimes no valid output is produced anymore.
- Two more exotic modes that are in the default mode list (that is
used when the input device does not send a valid EDID blob), namely
848x480-60 and 800x600-56, do not produce valid output.

When any of these things happen, the output remains invalid until the
next reboot, i.e. switching back to a working mode does not help.

(There is also an issue with the VIN input, which sometimes fails to
use up-to-date DV timings when capturing the first frame after
switching modes. This is worked around by capturing the frame twice.)
