Camera image encoding

1. Environment preparation

This example vio2encoder example implements the MIPI camera image acquisition function, and saves it locally after encoding. Users can preview the image through the display. The example flow chart is as follows:

• When the development board is powered off, connect the MIPI camera to the development board (with the black side facing the HDMI interface).
• Connect the development board and the monitor via an HDMI cable
• Power on the development board and log in via the command line

2. Run mode

Execute the program according to the following command The sample code is provided in source code form and needs to be compiled and run using the make command. The steps are as follows:

xxxxxxxxxx
sunrise@ubuntu:~$ cd /app/cdev_demo/vio2encoder
sunrise@ubuntu:/app/cdev_demo/vio2encoder$ sudo make
sunrise@ubuntu:/app/cdev_demo/vio2encoder$ sudo ./vio2encoder -w 1920 -h 1080 --iwidth 1920 --iheight 1080 -o test.h264

Parameter description:

• -w: Encoded video width
• -h: Encoded video height
• --iwidth: Sensor output width
• --iheight: Sensor output height
• -o: Encoded output path

3. Expected effect

After the program runs correctly, when the terminal stops printing, enter 0 or 1, then press Enter to start the camera, and a video file named test.h264 will be generated in the current directory.

The running log is as follows.
