A-Z Create your own bootable MicroSD Card (8GB)


Context

This document is a guide for using a Gumstix computer-on-module by creating your own bootable MicroSD Card (8GB)

Hardware

→ Gumstix Overo COM : OMAP3 Chip with POP Memory (Processor), MicroSD card slot, ISP Camera connector, TPS65950 Power Management Chip, Bluetooth & WiFi Antennas …

→ Tobi expansion board : USB host, DVI-D (HDMI), Audio IN & OUT …

→ Cable : USB cable from console port to a USB port on your computer

→ Power supply : 5V

Delete the partitions in a SD Card

Context : We consider that we have a SD car adaptator (MicroSD to SD)

→ Insert the SD card

~$ dmesg

⇒ We can see what happens, informations appears and we can see : [17280329.634829] sdc: sdc1 sdc2 (the SD card is “sdc” and there are 2 partitions inside “sdc1” and “sdc2”)

~$ cd /dev
/dev$ ls

⇒ The SD card appears in /dev/sdc (/dev/sdc1 ; /dev/sdc2)

/dev$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdc

⇒ We can operate in the disk

⇒ The partitions are deleted now

→ Remove the SD card and insert it again

/$ cd /dev
/dev$ ls

⇒ Partitions are well deleted

Partitioning the SD card

The SD card needs to have two partitions :

root = MLO (boot-loader loader) + u-boot.bin (boot loader) + uImage (Linux kernel)

rootfs = Images (Pre-built images for example or your own images)

/dev$ sudo umount /dev/sdc

⇒ The mount command serves to attach the file system found on some device to the big file tree ; the umount command will detach it again

/dev$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdc

⇒ We can perate in the disk

You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install opennebula one: command not found

⇒ Two partitions are created and they are formated

⇒ Check the SD card

→ system → administration → disk utility

⇒ We can see the 8GB SD card with two partitions

FAT partition 1 41 MB / 41,094,144 bytes Type W95 FAT32 (LBA)(0x0c) Bootable 7.9 GB Filesystem partition 2 7.9 Gb / 7,929,169,920 bytes type linux Ext3 (0x83)

⇒ Rename the two partitions : System → Administration → Disk utility

 Select the partition 1 FAT  -> Mountable Filesystem -> Label "root"   -> Change
 Select the partition 2 EXT3 -> Mountable Filesystem -> Label "rootfs" -> Change

→ Unplug the SD card

Installing the Boot Files

→ Download the last updated “Tested, Stable Images” (Pre-built factory images for the example) or build your own images

 http://gumstix.org/software-development/pre-built-images.html

⇒ You may be routed to : http://cumulus.gumstix.org/images/angstrom/factory/

⇒ We have download the images into /home/thomas/prebuilt

~/prebuilt$ ls

Images oe-commit-id.txt uImage.htm md5sum.txt omap3-desktop-nand-image-overo-booted.tar.bz2 MLO u-boot.bin

⇒ You can see the download files

→ Insert the SD card

⇒ Two windows may appear (2 partitions)

/$ cd media
/media$ ls

cdrom cdrom0 ROOT rootfs System

⇒ They are the two partitions ROOT & rootfs

/$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/ROOT

⇒ It may be made yet

⇒ Returns in the file with downloads /home/thomas/prebuilt

⇒ Copy all the download files in the partition 1 (begin with the MLO file !!!)

~/prebuilt$ sudo cp MLO /media/ROOT/MLO
~/prebuilt$ sudo cp u-boot.bin /media/ROOT/u-boot.bin
~/prebuilt$ sudo cp uImage.htm /media/ROOT/uImage
~/prebuilt$ sudo umount /dev/sdc1

⇒ Check that it is well unmounted

/media$ ls

cdrom cdrom0 rootfs System

⇒ At this point you have a bootable FAT partition

/media$ sudo mount /dev/sdc2 /media/rootfs

⇒ Go on /home/thomas/prebuilt

~/prebuilt$ ls

Images oe-commit-id.txt uImage.htm md5sum.txt omap3-desktop-nand-image-overo-booted.tar.bz2 MLO u-boot.bin

⇒ Copy the images files in the partition 2

~/prebuilt$ sudo cp omap3-desktop-nand-image-overo-booted.tar.bz2 /media/rootfs

⇒ Go on the partition 2 (rootfs)

/media/rootfs$ ls

lost+found omap3-desktop-nand-image-overo-booted.tar.bz2

⇒ tar = file grouping = archive ; bz2 = compressed archive

⇒ unzip and unarchive the file

sudo tar -xvaf omap3-desktop-nand-image-overo-booted.tar.bz2

⇒ It takes around 15 minutes

⇒ Remove the compressed archive file

/media/rootfs$ sudo rm omap3-desktop-nand-image-overo-booted.tar.bz2

⇒ unmount the partition 2

/media$ sudo umount /dev/sdc2

→ Unplug the SD card

Setting up a Serial Connection

→ Insert the MicroSD card into the Gumstix Overo COM

→ Plug the USB cables (expansion board - computer)

/$ cd dev
/dev$ ls

⇒ We can see it : ttyUSB0

⇒ Run Minicom (communication program)

/$ minicom -s

⇒ Under “Serial Port Setup” choose the following

  • Serial Device: /dev/ttyS0 (edit to match your system as necessary)
  • Bps/Par/Bits: 115200 8N1
  • Hardware Flow Control: No (this is important)
  • Software Flow Control: No

⇒ Hit [ESC] until you return to the main configuration menu

⇒ Select “Save Setup as dfl” to save the default setup

⇒ Select “Exit from Minicom” to exit the program

⇒ Run Minicom

/$ minicom -o

⇒ Power on the board (5V) and wait

⇒ The device demands the username (maybe the password)

overo login: root

⇒ It works, you can move into the tree

root@overo:~# cd /
root@overo:/# ls
bin   dev  home  linuxrc     media  proc  sys  usr

A-Z Build your own complete Linux Distribution for embedded systems


Context

There are three files required on the first (FAT) partition to boot your Overo

- MLO : the boot-loader loader

- u-boot.bin : the boot loader

- uImage : the Linux kernel

You can build these yourself or download pre-built images but these three files must be named as stated above

What is Openembedded

Openembedded is the build framework for embedded Linux

OpenEmbedded is a set of metadata used to cross-compile, package and install software packages

OpenEmbedded is being used to build and maintain a number of embedded Linux distributions

OpenEmbedded provides a powerful means of creating customized root file systems and cross-compiling, packaging, and deploying software

Définition du rapport de Guillaume :

Open Embedded est un outil qui gère les différentes versions de Linux et qui met à disposition les fichiers utiles

pour la création d’un noyau Linux pour les applications embarquées. C’est un des meilleurs outils pour la gestion de

la compilation croisée. Il permet aux développeurs de créer leur propre distribution de Linux pour les systèmes

embarqués. Une grande communauté de développeurs utilise et améliore les versions de Linux, Open Embedded permet de

télécharger les dernières versions stables et met à disposition de nouvelles versions régulièrement. Open Embedded

met également des versions de Linux pré-compilées à disposition, dans ce cas on ne peut faire aucune modification du

noyau Linux. Ceci est utile afin d’effectuer des tests sans se préoccuper de la compilation du noyau, on dispose

alors d’une image de Linux compilée par Open Embedded.

What is Bitbake

Bitbake is a tool for executing tasks and managing metadata

At the heart of OE is the Bitbake tool which resolves dependencies between different software packages in order to build a complete embedded system as make is to source code

Although BitBake can build individual packages, it is often more useful to build a set of packages and combine them into an image

The OpenEmbedded (OE) system consists of a collection of·BitBake “recipes”

Gumstix uses the OpenEmbedded build environment so developers can create a complete Linux Distribution for embedded systems

Définition de Guillaume :

Bitbake est un outil qui permet de compiler et de faire de la compilation croisée avec les fichiers utiles à la

création d’un noyau Linux. Cet outil est à la base de Open Embedded, il permet d’exécuter les différentes tâches

utiles à la création d’une image Linux. Pour la création du noyau Linux, Open Embedded utilise un système de recette,

elles permettent de compiler chaque partie du noyau Linux. Une recette est une succession de tâches à ex exécuter,

Bitbake permet exécuter ces tâches une à une et de gérer les indépendances entre les tâches.

→ Basic variable setting

VARIABLE = "value"

⇒ VARIABLE is value

→ Variable expansion

A = "aval"
B = "pre${A}post"

⇒ A containing aval and B containing preavalpost

→ Immediate variable expansion := (le contenu d'une variable est élargi ; elle a déjà qqchose, mais on lui rajoute des infos)

C = "cval"
C := "${C}append"

⇒ C would be cvalappend

→ Appending += and prepending =+ = ajouter des préfixes et suffixes au contenu d'une variable

B = "bval"
B += "additionaldata"
C = "cval"
C =+ "test"

⇒ B is now bval additionaldata and C is test cval

→ Appending .= and prepending =. without spaces = même chose que += et =+ sans les espaces

B = "bval"
B .= "additionaldata"
C = "cval"
C =. "test"

⇒ B is now bvaladditionaldata and C is testcval

→ Conditional metadata set

OVERRIDES is a “:” seperated variable containing each item you want to satisfy conditions
OVERRIDES = "architecture:os:machine"
TEST = "defaultvalue"
TEST_os = "osspecificvalue"
TEST_condnotinoverrides = "othercondvalue"

⇒ TEST would be osspecificvalue, due to the condition “os” being in OVERRIDES

→ Conditional appending

DEPENDS = "glibc ncurses"
OVERRIDES = "machine:local"
DEPENDS_append_machine = " libmad"

⇒ DEPENDS is set to glibc ncurses libmad

→ Inclusion

include directive, which causes BitBake to parse in whatever file you specify, and insert it at that location

→ Requiring Inclusion

require will raise an ParseError if the to be included file can not be found.

→ Defining executable metadata (only supported in .bb and .bbclass files.)

do_mytask () {
  echo "Hello, world!"
}

→ Inheritance

inherit directive is a means of specifying what classes of functionality your .bb requires

→ Tasks (only supported in .bb and .bbclass files.)

⇒ Each step that needs to be run for a given .bb is known as a task

⇒ There is a command addtask to add new tasks (must be a defined python executable metadata and must start with “do_”) and describe intertask dependencies

python do_printdate () {
  import time
  print time.strftime('%Y%m%d', time.gmtime())
}
addtask printdate before do_build

⇒ defines the necessary python function and adds it as a task which is now a dependency of do_build

→ Events (only supported in .bb and .bbclass files.)

BitBake allows to install event handlers (gestionnaires d'évenements)

Events are triggered at certain points during operation, such as, the beginning of operation

addhandler myclass_eventhandler
python myclass_eventhandler() {
  from bb.event import NotHandled, getName
  from bb import data
  print "The name of the Event is %s" % getName(e)
  print "The file we run for is %s" % data.getVar('FILE', e.data, True)
  return NotHandled
}

A BitBake (.bb) file is a logical unit of tasks to be executed. Normally this is a package to be built.

bbread  = command for displaying BitBake metadata
bitbake = primary command in the system - executing a given task

Executing a task with a single .bb (executer une commande bitbake sur un seul fichier.bb)

bitbake -b fil.bb
Executing tasks with a set of .bb files

bitbake fil.bb

Executing tasks with a set of .bb files & continue as much as possible after an error
bitbake -k file.bb

File Download supports :

→ Local File Fetcher

SRC_URI= "file://relativefile.patch"

→ CVS File Fetcher

SRC_URI = "cvs://CVSROOT;module=mymodule;tag=some-version;method=ext"

→ HTTP/FTP Fetcher

SRC_URI = "http://oe.handhelds.org/not_there.aac;md5sum=12343"
SRC_URI = "ftp://oe.handhelds.org/not_there_as_well.aac;md5sum=1234"

→ SVN Fetcher

SRC_URI = "svn://svn.oe.handhelds.org/svn;module=vip;proto=http;rev=667"

→ GIT Fetcher

SRC_URI = "git://git.oe.handhelds.org/git/vip.git;tag=version-1"

Git is a free & open source, distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency

Git est un logiciel de gestion de versions décentralisée

→ Bitbake command needed to build a particular piece of software

bitbake x-load MLO (OMAP3 bootstrap loader)

bitbake u-boot-omap3 u-boot (boot loader)

bitbake virtual/kernel linux kernel

bitbake omap3-console-image Gumstix console image

bitbake omap3-palmtop-image Gumstix palmtop image

bitbake omap3-desktop-nand-image Gumstix desktop-nand image

bitbake omap3-desktop-image Gumstix desktop image

bitbake sakoman-gnome-image unofficial Gnome-based desktop image

Openembedded installation

→ Create the “overo-oe” directory and change directory into it

/$ mkdir -p ~/overo-oe
/$ cd ~/overo-oe
~/overo-oe$ pwd
/home/thomas/overo-oe

→ Then we will install the OE metadata, and check out the Overo branch (you can safely ignore the warnings you will get from the git commands)

(Git = distributed revision control system with a rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals

⇒ It takes around 1 minute

~/overo-oe$ cd bitbake
~/overo-oe/bitbake$ git checkout 1.10.2

Creating the OE configuration files and profile

We now will create a profile script and the configuration files required to tailor OE to our needs

→ Copy these files (-r, –recursive = copy directories recursively)

~/overo-oe$ cp -r org.openembedded.dev/contrib/gumstix/build .

⇒ The '.' is important here

Environment setup

OpenEmbedded requires some environment setup in order to function properly

You can set this up via your bash profile

⇒ bashrc is run when you open a Terminal

→ Copy (.bak = backup = save file)

~/overo-oe$ cp ~/.bashrc ~/bashrc.bak

(cat affiche sur la sortie standard le contenu de chacun des fichiers indiqués

(» redirige à la fin d'un fichier et le crée s'il n'existe pas)

~/overo-oe$ cat ~/overo-oe/build/profile >> ~/.bashrc

→ Close your terminal window and open a new one (so that the environment changes you enabled above will take effect)

First build

You can build a basic kernel and non-gui root file system image in one step with

~/overo-oe$ bitbake omap3-console-image

You can build the kernel and modules using bit-bake. This allows you to incorporate the kernel with camera driver into an image of your design

⇒ It takes a long time (around 2 days) and 40 GB to 60 GB

⇒ At the end, you should have this directory layout (configuration)

a file overo-oe where there is

- bitbake # contains the bitbake tool and its associated configuration files

- build # contains configuration data for the build system : # auto.conf is used primarily to specify what machine configuration the build is targeted toward # local.conf is used to specify build policy # site.conf is used for general configuration

- org.openembedded.snapshot # contains a snapshot of the OpenEmbedded development branch ; it contains the “recipes” to build many hundreds of software packages

- com.gumstix.collection # contains overrides to the standard OpenEmbedded recipes ; this is where all of the gumstix specific customizations reside

- user.collection # this directory is yours to use ; you should place your custom recipes here

- extras # contains a variety of useful, related material

- tmp # where the build system keeps its working files and also where it places the output of the build

..- cache # where bitbake caches information it obtains from parsing all available .bb files

..- stamps # contains zero length files that are used to track each phase of the build as it is completed

..- cross # contains the cross development tools for generating code for the gumstix procesor (compliers, linkers, etc.)

..- staging (mise en scene) # Header files, libraries, and other items needed by the build system are stored in this directory

..- work # where the real work gets done ; a subdirectory is created for each package that is built

..- rootfs # after an image recipe build this directory will contain the complete root file system for the image

..- deploy # contains the final output of the build process : a set of images and ipkg files

Writing a .bb file

⇒ A bitbake recipe is a set of instructions that describes what needs to be done to :

- retrieve the source code for some application

- apply any necessary patches

- provide any additional files (such as init scripts)

- compile it

- install it

- generate binary packages

⇒ The end result is a binary package that you can install on your target device

(If you need a customized root filesystem)

→ Package description, license, etc

DESCRIPTION = "My first application, a really cool app containing lots of foo and bar"
LICENSE = "GPLv2"
HOMEPAGE = "http://www.host.com/foo/"

→ The next step is to specify what the package needs to build and run, the so called dependencies

DEPENDS = "gtk+"
RDEPENDS = "cool-ttf-fonts"

⇒ The package needs gtk+ to build ('DEPENDS') and requires the 'cool-ttf-fonts' package to run

⇒ You need to specify everything else by yourself, which in this case is the 'cool-ttf-fonts' package

⇒ OE will know what to build before trying to build your application

→ Add the source location

SRC_URI = "http://www.host.com/foo/files/${P}.tar.bz2;md5sum=yoursum"

⇒ This will tell the fetcher where to download the sources from and it will check the integrity using md5sum if you provided the appropriate yoursum

→ You can make one by doing

md5sum foo-1.9.tar.bz2

→ replace yoursum with the md5sum on your screen. A typical md5sum will look like this

a6434b0fc8a54c3dec3d6875bf3be868

⇒ Before we can move to the actual building we need to find out which build system the package is using inherit autotools pkgconfig

→ Lets start the build

bitbake foo

⇒ The following files where installed but not shipped = /usr/weirdpath/importantfile.foo

⇒ OE has a standard list of paths which need to be included, but it can't know everything, so we have to tell OE to include that file as well

FILES_${PN} += "/usr/weirdpath/importantfile.foo"

Syntax of recipes :

- Functions (series of actions to be performed)

do_install () {
  autotools_do_install
  install -d ${D}${base_bindir}
  mv ${D}${bindir}/sed ${D}${base_bindir}/sed.${PN}
}

- Variable assignments and manipulations

- Line continuation: \ = To split a statement over multiple lines you should place a \ at the end of the line that is to be continued on the next line

VAR = "A really long \
       line"

- Using variables: ${...} = To access the contents of a variable you need to access it via ${<varname>}:

SRC_URI = "${SOURCEFORGE_MIRROR}/libpng/zlib-${PV}.tar.gz"

- Quote all assignments = All variable assignments should be quoted with double quotes

VAR1 = "${OTHERVAR}"

- Conditional assignment = is used to assign a value to a variable, but only when the variable is currently unset (commonly used to provide a default value)

VAR1 = "Original value"
VAR1 ?= "New value"

⇒ Will set VAR1 to “New value” if it is currently empty (vide)

⇒ VAR1 is left with the value “Original value” - Appending: += = You can append values to existing variables

SRC_URI += "file://fix-makefile.patch"

- Prepending: =+ = You can prepend values to existing variables

VAR =+ "Starts"

- Appending: _append = You can append values to existing variables

SRC_URI_append = " file://fix-makefile.patch"
SRC_URI_append += "file://fix-install.patch"

- Prepending: _prepend = You can prepend values to existing variables

Expected format of recipe name :

<package-name>_<version>.bb

for example : strace_4.5.14.bb

Bitbake Tutorial Example

OpenEmbedded provides a powerful means of creating customized root file systems and cross-compiling, packaging, and deploying software

to harness this power, it is necessary to write Bitbake recipes !!!

This tutorial steps through the creation of a basic recipe—the configuration file that tells Bitbake how to build your source code

Making a hello.c file with the following content :

→ Create a directory for our recipe, recipes/myhelloworld, and we've created a files subdirectory in there to store our local files

$ mkdir recipes/myhelloworld
$ mkdir recipes/myhelloworld/files
$ cat > recipes/myhelloworld/files/myhelloworld.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
      printf("Hello world!\n");
      return 0;
}
^D
$ cat > recipes/myhelloworld/files/README.txt
Readme file for myhelloworld.
^D

⇒ We've created two local files, the C source code for our helloworld program and a readme file

→ Create the bitbake recipe helloworld_0.0.bb

DESCRIPTION = "hello world program"  # describe this package
PR = "r0"                            # specifies the package revision
SRC_URI = "file://hello.c"           # specifies where the source code can be found (here the same directory as our recipe file)
S = "${WORKDIR}"                     # refers to the directory where Bitbake unpacks the source ; by default the WORKDIR
do_compile () {                      # it gives the details of how to compile the package (use standard C cross-compiler ... ; output file = hello ; source file = hello.c ; binary sitting in S)
 ${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} -o hello hello.c
}
do_install () {
 install -d ${D}${bindir}/
 install -m 0755 ${S}/hello ${D}${bindir}/
}
FILES_${PN} = "${bindir}/hello"      # Linux install command (create the directory where we wish to our hello program if the directory doesn't yet exist and then asks it to copy our application to this directory)

(Bitbake builds a recipe by executing a series of steps: fetching code, unpacking, compiling, linking, staging, and packaging

If our code needs a library to compile, we specify this using the DEPENDS or the RECOMMENDS keyword in our recipe

To specify runtime dependencies, use the RDEPENDS and RRECOMMENDS keywords

The PROVIDES and RPROVIDES variables are, correspondingly, the names given to your recipe in case other packages rely on your package)

→ Build the package

$ bitbake -b recipes/myhelloworld/myhelloworld_0.0.bb

⇒ The package was successfully built, the output consists of two .ipkg files, which are ready to be installed on the target

→ Look at the working directory to see where various files ended up

$ find tmp/work/myhelloworld-0.0-r0

⇒ The two source files are in tmp/work/myhelloworld-0.0-r0, which is the working directory as specified via the ${WORKDIR} variable

=> There's an image directory at tmp/work/myhelloworld-0.0-r0/image ; this is actually the destination directory, as specified via the ${D} variable

⇒ The program was actually compiled in the tmp/work/myhelloworld-0.0-r0/myhelloworld-0.1 directory (this is the source directory as specified via the ${S} variable)

-> Check that we really did produce a binary for the target and not for our host system
  $ file tmp/work/myhelloworld-0.0-r0/install/myhelloworld/usr/bin/myhelloworld tmp/work/myhelloworld-0.0-r0/install/myhelloworld/usr/bin/myhelloworld: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Hitachi SH, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, not stripped

$ file /bin/ls

/bin/ls: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, stripped

⇒ This shows us that the helloworld program is for an SH processor


A-Z Boot with own built files on MicroSD Card


Context

There are three files required on the first (FAT) partition to boot your Overo

- MLO : the boot-loader loader

- u-boot.bin : the boot loader

- uImage : the Linux kernel

We consider that we have built these images.

Load the images in the MicroSD

→ MLO is not necessary

→ Find u-boot and uImage : /home/thomas/overo-oe/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/overo

~/overo-oe/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/overo$ ls

Angstrom-omap3-console-image-glibc-ipk-2010.7-test-20110411-overo.rootfs.tar.bz2 Angstrom-omap3-console-image-glibc-ipk-2010.7-test-20110411-overo-testlab modules-2.6.36-r100-overo.tgz omap3-console-image-overo.tar.bz2 u-boot-overo-2010.9+r1+git1e4e5ef0469050f014aee1204dae8a9ab6053e49-r1.bin u-boot-overo.bin uImage-2.6.36-r100-overo.bin uImage-overo.bin

→ Copy u-boot-overo.bin in the ROOT partition (1) and name it u-boot.bin

~/overo-oe/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/overo$ sudo cp u-boot-overo.bin /media/ROOT/u-boot.bin

→ Copy uImage-overo.bin in the ROOT partition (1) and name it uImage

~/overo-oe/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/overo$ sudo cp uImage-overo.bin /media/ROOT/uImage

→ Unmount the ROOT partition

~/overo-oe/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/overo$ sudo umount /dev/sdc1

→ Copy omap3-console-image-overo.tar.bz2 in the rootfs partition (2)

~/overo-oe/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/overo$ sudo cp omap3-console-image-overo.tar.bz2 /media/rootfs

→ Untar it

/media/rootfs$ sudo tar -xvaf omap3-console-image-overo.tar.bz2

→ You can remove omap3-console-image-overo.tar.bz2 if you want

→ Unmount the rootfs partition

/media$ sudo umount /dev/sdc2

→ If you want to set up a serial connection, go on “Setting up a Serial Connection”

ffmpeg

⇒ If you want ot take a video, use ffmpeg :

-f format

-i filename input (ex : /dev/video0)

-t time (seconds)

-fs taille max (bytes)

-b taux (bit/s)

-vframes “number” (number of frames)

-r fps (frames per second)

-s size (ex : 800×600)

-pix_fmt format

-y overwrite if existing

at the end, name of the output file (ex : file.avi)

⇒ Examples :

→ Take a video without restrictions (bad quality) :

ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 fileout.avi

→ Take a video : 5 secondes / 60 fps / 752×480 / name = fileout / overwrite if file exists

ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s 752x480 -r 60 -t 5 -i /dev/video0 -y fileout.mpeg

ISP : Image Signal Processor


Context

This part discusses about the Image Signal Processor chipped inside the OMAP35x.

It isn't a complete tutorial, it is an overview of the ISP.

Introduction

The camera ISP is a key component for imaging and video applications.

The camera ISP provides the system interface and the processing capability to connect RAW image-sensor modules to the device.

It provides you to :

- do conversions (RGB → YUV, RGB → RGB …)

- do rezising

- do histograms (for estimations & perform auto-focus, auto-…)

- …

See figures :

⇒ Camera ISP (general)

- Figure 12-53. Camera ISP Block Diagram (p°1371)

- Figure 12-54. Camera ISP/Data Path/RAW RGB Images (p°1373)

- Figure 12-55. Camera ISP/Data Path/YUV4:2:2 Images (p°1374)

- Figure 12-56. Camera ISP/Data Path/JPEG Images (p°1374)

⇒ CCDC

- Figure 12-72. CCDC Block Diagram (p°1394)

⇒ Preview

- Figure 12-78. Preview Engine Block Diagram (p°1408)

⇒ Resizer

- Figure 12-80. Resizer Process(p°1415)

Image sensor

ISP can support interface with various image sensors (RGB, Ye Cy Mg G).

CSI1 : Camera Serial Interface

It is compatible with the MIPI CSI1 specifications (MIPI : Mobile Industry Processor Interface).

This module can :

- transfer pixels and data to system memory os to the video pipeline (way of the data, continue to pass into modules)

- support RGB, RAW, YUV, JPEG formats

- read from memory only in RAW format

CSI2 : Camera Serial Interface

It is more efficient than the CSI1.

It is compatible with the MIPI CSI1 specifications.

This module can :

- transfer pixels and data to system memory os to the video pipeline (way of the data, continue to pass into modules)

- support RGB, RAW, YUV, JPEG formats

- read from memory only in RAW format

- converse RGB formats

- …

CPI : Camera Parallel Interface

It supports two modes :

- SYNC mode : the image-sensor provides horizontal & vertical synchronization signals to the CPI, along with the pixel clock

- ITU mode : the image-sensor provides an ITU-R BT 656-compatible data stream, horizontal & vertical synchronization signals are not provided to the interface

VP : Video Processing

It is a video processing HARDWARE !

The hardware pipeline contains two parts : front en & back end.

⇒ VPFE : Video processing front end = CCDC module

- Performs signal-processing operations on RAW image input data

- The output data can go directly to memory for software processing, or to the video-processing back end for further processing

- Signal processing operations : Optical clamping, Black-level compensation, Data formatter, Output formatter …

⇒ VPBE : Video processing back end = Preview / Resizer modules

- Performs signal-processing operations on RAW image input data and outputs YCbCr 4:2:2 data

- Preview module : A-law decompression (cv non-linear 8-bit data to 10-bit linear data), Noise reduction, Digital gain, White balance, RGB to YCbCr conversion, can work from memory to memory …

- Resizer module : Performs on-the-fly upsampling (up to x4) and downsampling (down to x0.25) of YCbCr 4:2:2 data, can work from memory to memory …

SCM : Statistic collection modules

The host CPU uses statistics to adjust various parameters for processing image data.

⇒ 3A metrics module : collects on-the-fly raw image data metrics to perform white balance, auto focus …

⇒ Histogram : performs on-the-fly pixel binning of raw image, based on color value ranges and regions, can work from memory to memory …

SBL : Central-ressource Shared Buffer Logic

Buffers and schedules memory accesses requested by camera ISP modules

Circular buffers (x2)

They prevent storage of full image frames in memory when data must be pre/post-processed by software

MMU : Memory Managment Unit

Manages virtual-to-physical address translation for external addresses and solves the memory-fragmentation issue

More informations

⇒ Don't worry about the MicroSD, when a module writes in memory, it is RAM

⇒ CCDC module

- The CCDC output is programmable with registers : ISP_CCDC_SYN_MODE (p°1554)

ISP_CCDC_SYN_MODE_SDR2RSZ : (0 disable / 1 enable) out = resizer module
ISP_CCDC_SYN_MODE_VP2SDR  : (0 disable / 1 enable) out = output formatter
ISP_CCDC_SYN_MODE_WEN     : (0 disable / 1 enable) out = memory
ISP_CCDC_SYN_MODE_PACK8   : (0 16b/pxl / 1 8b/pxl) data packing configuration when the data is written to memory

⇒ Preview module

- The input / output is programmable with registers : PRV_PCR (p°1607)

ISP_PRV_PCR_SDRPORT : (0 disable / 1 enable) PREVIEW module memory output port enable
ISP_PRV_PCR_RSZPORT : (0 disable / 1 enable) RESIZER module output port enable
ISP_PRV_PCR_YCPOS   : (0 YCRYCB / 1 YCBYCR / 2 CBYCRY / 3 CRYCBY)
ISP_PRV_PCR_SOURCE  : (0 Video port from the CCDC / 1 Memory)

Be carefull : see (p°1477) Table 12-57. Preview Engine Conditional Configuration Parameters (Table des dépendances des registres)

⇒ Writing in memory isn't programmable : the device is autonomous, it is a hardware system, it chooses the adresses where the writing will be …

⇒ The ISP simulate alone the input format (the user don't communicate it with parameters) : ISP = autonomous

⇒ We can change the RGB to YUV conversion and colors with the matrix values : isppreview.c ligne 91 :

/* CSC Coef Matrix */
{66, 129, 25},
{-38, -75, 112},
{112, -94 , -18}
/* CSC Offset */
{0x0, 0x0, 0x0}

Be carefull :

- Gains are in S10Q8 format (10 signed bits / 8 = fractionnal part ; for example : 2.3 = 1000000011)

- Offsets are in S8Q0 format for chroma and U10Q0 for luma

Y      CSCRY   CSCGY   CSCBY      Rin     YOFST
Cb  =  CSCRCB  CSCGCB  CSCBCB  *  Gin  +  OFSTCB
Cr     CSCRCR  CSCGCR  CSCBCR     Bin     OFSTCR

If you want to have a blanck&white image :

/* CSC Coef Matrix BW */
{66, 129, 25},
{0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0}
/* CSC Offset */
{0x0, 0x0, 0x0}

If you want to have a red filtered image :

/* CSC Coef Red */
{66, 0, 0},
{-38, 0, 0},
{112, 0, 0}
/* CSC Offset */
{0x0, 0x0, 0x0}

If you want to have a red constant image :

/* CSC Coef Red */
{0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0}
/* CSC Offset */
{0x0, 0x0, 0x0ff}

⇒ VERY IMPORTANT : The ISP files are compiled and sit in the linux kernel (uImage) !!! NOT WITH MODULES


A-Z Modify ISP drivers


Context

We consider that you have a camera caspa px (module camera CMOS APTINA mt9v032)

set environement for cross compilation

→ Create a bash program used for compilling and sending the files to the overo by wifi

#!/bin/sh
export PATH=/home/thomas/overo-oe/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/armv7a/bin:${PATH} 
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- uImage
export IPOVERO=10.31.6.14
scp /home/thomas/linux-omap-2.6.35+/arch/arm/boot/uImage root@$IPOVERO:/media/mmcblk0p1/
ssh root@$IPOVERO "reboot"

→ Or, more simply…

set the environement:

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/thomas/overo-oe/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/armv7a/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-
export PATH=$PATH:/home/thomas/overo-oe/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/armv7a/bin/
echo $CROSS_COMPILE

then

cd linux-omap-2.6.35+ 
make module  
export IPOVERO=10.31.6.14
scp /home/thomas/linux-omap-2.6.35+/arch/arm/boot/uImage root@$IPOVERO:/media/mmcblk0p1/
ssh root@$IPOVERO "reboot"

Create recuptestffmpeg

→ Create a bash program used to get the file from the overo → PC

scp root@192.168.1.2:~/fichier.avi ./

Modify a filen take a video and see it

→ Modify a file located in :

/home/thomas/linux-omap-2.6/drivers/media/video/isp

→ For example : we modify the isppreview.c, ligne 91 :

/* CSC Coef Matrix */
{66, 129, 25},
{-38, -75, 112},
{112, -94 , -18}

change it by

/* CSC Coef Matrix */
{66, 0, 0},
{-38, 0, 0},
{112, 0, 0}

→ Save the file

→ Compile it and send it

[~/linux-omap-2.6]% ./compcpimage

⇒ The overo reboot

→ Take a video (see A-Z Use the module camera CMOS APTINA mt9v032)

→ Recover it

[~]% ./recuptestffmpeg 

⇒ You may have the video fichier.avi


DDD : Data Display Debugger


Introduction

DDD is a graphical user interface for debuggers such as GDB.

This is a simple tutorial for understanding how to get and use DDD.

Get DDD

- Open Ubuntu Software Center

- Write ddd in the search toolbar

⇒ It may appear

- Download it

Use DDD

- First, we have to create an executable file :

- Create a new file : prog.c

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
int x = 17;

printf ("Start ");

if (x > 100)
	printf ("x > 100 ");
else if (x < 100)
	printf ("x < 100 ");

printf ("End");

return (0);
}

- Compile it with these options : (g = data for debugging (lines of the program))

gcc -g -o prog prog.c

- Open the DDD :

ddd

- File/Open Program : choose the prog (executable)

⇒ The source code may appear

- View/Command tool

⇒ A window may appear (run / interrupt / step / next …)

- You can place a beakpoint by double clicking on a line

- Then run the programm (click on run)

- It will stop at the breakpoint

- To erase it, click right, delete breakpoint

- …


A-Z Save the MicroSD


Context

In order to save all the MicroSD config :

- Partition 1 : ROOT

- Partition 2 : rootfs

Save an image

if : inpute file / of = output file

sudo dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=imROOT
sudo dd if=/dev/sdc2 of=imrootfs

Paste an image

sudo dd if=imROOT of=/dev/sdc1
sudo dd if=imrootfs of=/dev/sdc2

Give an @IP to the Gumstix in function with @MAC


Context

We wanted to give a fixed @IP to the eth0/wlan0 … in fuction with @MAC.

We use a Netgear router.

Choose an @IP

- Open Firefox

- Open the Netgear Router Setup by writing on the toolbar the @IP (réseau) :

http://192.168.1.1/start.htm

⇒ The interface may appear

- Go to LAN IP Setup

- In the box named : Address Reservation, choose add :

- Choose IP Address, Device Name and write the Mac Address

⇒ The the IP may be fixed with the hardware

Get access to internet with the gumstix in the enac network

dhclient eth0
export http_proxy=http://squid:3128

to do that automatically at startup, edit /etc/init.d/dhcl

sleep 3
dhclient eth0
export http_proxy=http://squid:3128

and create a symlink in /etc/rc5.d/S99dhcl


A-Z Introduction - Gumstix Overo Linux Kernel Debugging with kgdb


Context

This tutorial shows how to debug the linux kernel of a Gumstix Overo.

KGDB is a debugger for the Linux kernel. It requires two machines that are connected via a serial connection.

It makes it possible to place breakpoints in kernel code, step through the code and observe variables.

Get gdb for arm

A common error while using gdb,is using the wrong gdb.

This step is very IMPORTANT :

You may have GDB for ARM architectures !!!

With openembedded :

bitbake gdb-cross gdbserver

⇒ A recipe is created and you may find a binary file :

arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gdb located here /home/thomas/overo-oe/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/armv7a/bin

⇒ You can run it by writing

./arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gdb

BUT it is not easy to use, that why I recommend you to create a symbolical link :

sudo ln -s ~/overo-oe/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/armv7a/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gdb gdbarm

⇒ Now you can run the gdb for arm by writing in your ~/linux file :

./gdbarm

Prepare and build the Linux Kernel with kgdb

You must create a kernel with kgdb enabled and debug info.

- Go in your home linux :

cd ~/linux-omap-2.6-thomas/

- Modify the configuration of the compilation

VERY IMPORTANT : You must edit the configuration for ARM !!!

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/thomas/overo-oe/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/armv7a/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-
export PATH=$PATH:/home/thomas/overo-oe/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/armv7a/bin/
echo $CROSS_COMPILE

- If you want to use the camera Caspa px mt9v032, I recommend you to take this config for the first use

wget http://cumulus.gumstix.org/sources/mt9v032-2.6.34.defconfig
cp mt9v032-2.6.34.defconfig .config
make oldconfig

- Then you can configure the file :

make xconfig

You must see scripts/kconfig/qconf arch/arm/Kconfig else your don't configure well for arm …

⇒ An application may appear

- At the tab Kernel Hacking, tick :

KGDB: kernel debugger
KGDB: use kgdb over the serial console
Compile the kernel with debug info

If you don't find these lines, you can search them (edit/find)

- Build the kernel

make uImage

Use kgdb on the target machine before / during the boot

If you want to debug applications loaded in the boot, you have to stop the boot and run kgdb before the boot

- Run the Overo and stop the autoboot by typing a touch of the keyboard

- Display the environment variables

printenv

⇒ You may see this : (trick - enlarge the window to see all the arguments ; minicom don't display all)

mmcargs=setenv bootargs console=${console} vram=12M ...

- Add these instructions : 

kgdboc=ttyS2,115200 : kgdb over console, port ttyS2, communication speed 1152000 Bauds

kgdbwait : stop the kernel (no boot)

  setenv mmcargs setenv bootargs console=${console} vram=12M omapfb.vram=0:4M omapfb.mode=dvi:${dvimode} omapdss.def_disp=${defaultdisplay} root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait init=/init kgdboc=ttyS2,115200 kgdbwait

saveenv
reset

⇒ Now, the boot may stop and you may see this :

Entering kdb (current=0xcec1d9c0, pid 1) due to Keyboard Entry

kdb>

KDB is running, here you can place breakpoints (bp name_function) or continue (go) ; see others (help) …

BUT this use is limited, and I am going to show you how to debug with KGDB/GDB with 2 machines

- Run kgdb :

kdb> kgdb

⇒ You may see :

Entering please attach debugger or use $D#44+ or $3#33

⇒ KGDB is running on the target machine !

Use gdb on the development machine

- Open a new terminal and run GDB for ARM :

./gdbarm ./vmlinux

⇒ GDB is running on the development machine (gdb)

- Configure the communication speed / the port …

set remotebaud 115200
set debug remote 1
target remote /dev/ttyUSB3

⇒ The two machines are dialoging (… ACK … Packet received:)

⇒ Then you can debug all what you want :

EXAMPLE :

- Place a breakpoint, continue the program, …, quit

break name_function
continue
...
q

Use kgdb after the boot

- On the overo, configure the port, stop the execution, run kgdb

echo ttyS2 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc
echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger

- On the development machine, run gdb

./gdbarm ./vmlinux
set remotebaud 115200
set debug remote 1
target remote /dev/ttyUSB3

A-Z ISP Debugging using kgdb


Context

ISP = Image Signal Processsor.

This tutorial shows how to debug the ISP in the Gumstix Overo Linux Kernel.

Run the kernel debugger

See A-Z Introduction - Linux Kernel Debugging using kgdb

Start debugging

You need to have 2 terminals :

ONE = target machine, kgdb is running …

TWO = development machine, (gdb) is waiting

- Place a breakpoint where you want to analyse the execution :

break ispccdc_config_datapath

⇒ Breakpoint 1 at 0xc02f03f8: file drivers/media/video/isp/ispccdc.c, line 576.

⇒ The debugger has found the function

- Run the program in order to go at the breakpoint

continue

⇒ Now the two terminals are busy

- Open a new terminal and do a connexion by ssh with the overo :

ssh root@192.168.1.8

- Then insert the driver of the camera

insmod mt9v032.ko

⇒ The program stop at the breakpoint 1 ispccdc.c - line 576.

Breakpoint 1, ispccdc_config_datapath …

576 syn_mode = isp_reg_readl(isp_ccdc→dev, OMAP3_ISP_IOMEM_CCDC,

(gdb)

- In order to step :

next

⇒ Now you can move on the kernel and see what is doing by the os

Debug with DDD

DDD = Data Display Debugger is a common graphical user interface to GDB.

See DDD : Data Display Debugger

- Run ddd

ddd --debugger ./gdbarm vmlinux
set remotebaud 115200
set debug remote 1
target remote /dev/ttyUSB3

⇒ You can use DDD (see DDD : Data Display Debugger)


Add RAM on Gumstix Overo


Context

If the Overo is in lack of live memory (RAM), you can use ROM.

We consider we want to use a USB key for adding memory.

Create the partition (SWAP)

- Format the USB key (unique partition)

(if you want to delete partitions, see :

A-Z Create your own bootable MicroSD Card (8GB) / Delete the partitions in a SD Card)

- Plug the USB key in the Gumstix Overo (USB port)

Now we have to create a swap partition : it is memoryspace used when too much memory is used

- Create a swap partition

see : A-Z Create your own bootable MicroSD Card (8GB) / Partitioning the SD card

- Change the partition type to 82 Linux swap / Solaris

Command (m for help): t
Selected partition 1
Hex code (type L to list codes): 82

- Apply changes

w

Use the swap

We have to inform the Gumstix there is a swap partition and activate it

mkswap /dev/sda1
swapon /dev/sda1

Introduction - Profiling with gprof


Context

Gprof is a profiling program which measures statistics of a program

in order to optimize the source code.

It evaluates execution time of each function, do various statistics …

Tutorial : Use of gprof

- Write a program : prog.c

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void wait (void)
{
unsigned int y;
for (y = 0 ; y < 50000 ; y++);
}

int main ()
{
unsigned int x;
for (x = 0 ; x < 10000 ; x++)
	wait ();
return (0);
}

- Compile it with these parameters (prog = executable)

gcc -pg -o prog prog.c

- Run the program

./prog

⇒ A file appears : gmon.out

- Write the profiler data in results.txt

gprof prog gmon.out > results.txt

- Read the profiling results

gedit results.txt

⇒ The profiling data may appear !

(time, cumulative, seconds, call, numbers, statistics …)


A-Z Profiling program / Source Code Optimization (SCO)


Context

We want to have an efficient capture program (fast, easy to execute …)

in order to relieve the processor of the target.

We consider the files :

input : YUV picture

output : RGB picture

prog.c : program (here YUV to RGB conversion)

But this tutorial may be applied for different uses (general uses)

Folder requirements

In order to well execute the operations, it will be necessary to create 2 folders :

- Folder /home/root/SCO/ (TARGET)

- Folder /home/thomas/SCO/ (DEVELOPMENT)

Create the Makefile and the script

- On the DEVELOPMENT machine :

cd /home/thomas/SCO/

- In a new text file named Makefile, write :

# MAKEFILE - SOURCE CODE OPTIMIZATION (SCO) - (DEVELOPMENT)
#

# Needs 2 machines (DEVELOPMENT X86 / TARGET ARM)
#
# This Makefile can :

#
# t.daveloose@laposte.net

cd /home/root/SCO/
scp output gmon.out thomas@10.31.6.12:/home/thomas/SCO/

Use the Makefile

- Modify prog.c

- Apply the Makefile (development)

make

- Apply the script (target)

./send-results

- Apply the Makefile (development)

make display-prof

For more informations about the Makefile functions, type :

make help

Improve the quality of the image


Context

We consider that you have a Gumstix Overo with mt9v034 sensor

Modify the parameters

- Boot the Gumstix and go here :

cd /sys/module/mt9v032/parameters

⇒ You may see the parameters

- Write a script called parameters :

chmod a+w /sys/module/mt9v032/parameters/*
echo 0 > /sys/module/mt9v032/parameters/hdr

echo 1 > /sys/module/mt9v032/parameters/hflip
echo 1 > /sys/module/mt9v032/parameters/vflip

cat /sys/module/mt9v032/parameters/hdr
cat /sys/module/mt9v032/parameters/hflip
cat /sys/module/mt9v032/parameters/vflip

- Apply it on the Gumstix

./parameters

⇒ Now, the quality of the image should better


Add boot commands


Context

This tutorial shows how to make a boot.scr file.

It is running before the boot.

Write a script

- Edit a new file named myscript.cmd and write commands inside, for example

setenv mmcargs write-what-you-want

boot.scr building

- Build the boot.scr file

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n "myscript" -d myscript.cmd boot.scr

⇒ It may appear a message like that :

Image Name:   myscript
Created:      Fri May 13 14:58:18 2011
Image Type:   ARM Linux Script (uncompressed)
Data Size:    57 Bytes = 0.06 kB = 0.00 MB
Load Address: 00000000
Entry Point:  00000000
Contents:
 Image 0: 49 Bytes = 0.05 kB = 0.00 MB

- Check that boot.scr exists and place it in the first partition ROOT

⇒ Now, before the boot, the commands in the boot.scr will be done


Add a module or an application / Opkg - Ipkg


Context

If you want to add modules in you Overo.

Check your modules

If you want to check how many modules you have :

$ opkg list | wc -l
17698
$ echo 'src/gz angstrom-base http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base'  > /etc/opkg/angstrom-base.conf
$ opkg update
...
$ opkg list | wc -l
21755

Now you can update your opkg repository

$ opkg update
Downloading http://www.gumstix.net/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base/Packages.gz.
Inflating http://www.gumstix.net/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base/Packages.gz.
Updated list of available packages in /var/lib/opkg/base.
...
$ opkg list_installed | grep gcc
libgcc1 - 4.3.3-r17.1.6
$ opkg install task-native-sdk
...

Find a module

A giant repository is here :

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/

- Download a module and place it in the 2nd partition rootfs

Install a module

- In order to install the module, write :

ipkg module.ipk

You will also need to disable the pull-up resistors on the PCLK, HS and VS
signals due to a hardware bug.

Download media-ctl

git clone git://git.ideasonboard.org/media-ctl.git

- Open the file Install & do the operations

autoreconf --install
./configure --with-kernel-headers=/home/thomas/media/
make
sudo make install

Download yavta

Here :

https://github.com/fastr/yavta/archives/master

- Than compile it (for ARM !)

Build the kernel and the modules

make oldconfig
make uImage
make modules

Use the two programs

- Print the topology of your interface

media-ctl -p

- Configure a datapath and the formats :

media-ctl -r -l '"mt9034 3-0048":0->"OMAP3 ISP CCDC":0[1], "OMAP3 ISPCCDC":1->"OMAP3 ISP CCDC output":0[1]'
media-ctl -f '"mt9v034 3-0048":0[SGRBG10 752x480], "OMAP3 ISP CCDC":1[SGRBG10752x480]

- Take pictures :

yavta -f SGRBG8 -s 320x240 -n 4 --capture=10 -F /dev/video0

Fabrication des modules pour le mt9v034

/home/thomas/exo

ISP

- Placer un de ces dossiers dans :

linux.../drivers/media/video/

- Lui donner le nom :

isp

- Recompiler un noyau :

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/thomas/overo-oe/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/armv7a/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-
export PATH=$PATH:/home/thomas/overo-oe/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/armv7a/bin/
echo $CROSS_COMPILE
make uImage

- Placer le uImage dans la partition 1 ROOT de la µSD

- Les dossiers existants

isp-darkframe  : bloc preview configuré pour écrire une darkframe en mémoire à la place du traitement complet
isp-sauvegarde : isp original
isp-rawrgb     : bloc preview configuré pour annuler la débayerisation (CFA off), ne pas faire de conversion vers YUV, ...

V4L2

v4l2-save  : utilisé pour les données brutes issues de la caméra
v4l2-brute : utilisé pour les données brutes de la caméra, autre approche, moins évoluée
v4l2-new   : utilisé pour les données converties de YUV vers RGB

Default-caspapx

Prebuilt 2.6.34 caspapx et rootfs
