Unable to play video test source on DM365 without LI-5M03

Unable to play video test source on DM365 without LI-5M03

  • Hi,

     

     

    I have been trying the play the video test source using the code "gst-launch videotestsrc ! TIDmaiVideoSink" on my leopardboard DM365. I have notice that with the LI-5M03 camera connected, I am able to play the video but without the LI-5M03 camera connected I am unable to play the video. The video test source stop as shown below. Is it possible to run the video test source without the LI-5M03 camera connected.

     

     

    / # fbset -disable                                                              

    / # gst-launch videotestsrc ! TIDmaiVideoSink

  • Hi Irwin,

    There is a know issue due the DM365 shutting down the video subsystem if it doesn't detect a working video capture interface. There is an option in the kernel to disable powering off unused clocks.

  • Just to correct myself: is not an issue with the DM365 per-se, but with the current kernel.

  • Hi Diego,

    Ok thanks for the information. How do I do about fixing the problem? Can it be fix in the 'make config'?

  • Hi Diego,

    Can I fix the problem in kernel/linux/arch/arm/mach-davinciboard-dm355-leopard.c?
