icamerasrc

This repository supports MIPI cameras through the IPU6/IPU6EP/IPU6SE on Intel Tigerlake/Alderlake/Jasperlake platforms. There are 4 repositories that provide the complete setup:

• https://github.com/intel/ipu6-drivers - kernel drivers for the IPU and sensors
• https://github.com/intel/ipu6-camera-bins - IPU firmware and proprietary image processing libraries
• https://github.com/intel/ipu6-camera-hal - HAL for processing of images in userspace
• https://github.com/intel/icamerasrc/tree/icamerasrc_slim_api (branch:icamerasrc_slim_api) - Gstreamer src plugin

Content of this repository:

• gstreamer src plugin 'icamerasrc'

Build instructions:

• Prerequisites: ipu6-camera-bins and ipu6-camera-hal installed
• Prerequisites: libdrm-dev libva-dev libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev

export CHROME_SLIM_CAMHAL=ON
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
# binary install
sudo make install
# build rpm package and then install
make rpm
rpm -ivh --force --nodeps icamerasrc-*.rpm

NOTE: For gstreamer version > 1.22.0, add support for drm dma buffer. It depends on libdrm, please install it when build icamerasrc and add option "--enable-gstdrmformat=yes" to enable drm dma buffer.

sudo apt install libdrm-dev
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gstdrmformat=yes

Pipeline examples

• Ensure ${GST_PLUGIN_PATH} includes icamerasrc installation path
• Testpattern generator (no sensor)

sudo -E gst-launch-1.0 icamerasrc device-name=tpg_ipu6 ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2,width=1280,height=720 ! videoconvert ! ximagesink

• For laptops with 11th Gen Intel Core Procesors (with ov01a1s/hm11b1 sensor):
