Hi,
I am developed an application based on gstreamer on AM335x starter kit (TMDSSK3358 EVM). This invloved taking the video feed from a camera and overlaying a table (containing information fetched from a device connected over i2c ).
I found out that the SVG-overlay plugin for gstremer was my best option(As I might need to do some animation later using the overlay).
I started our with "ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00" SDK. This had gstreamer in it, but "SVG-overlay" plugin was not present. So first I thought of compiling the plugin, but I realized that this
required cross compilation of some other libraries like libcroco and pongo etc. So I searched for an easier solution. I figured out that if I can get a respo which provides this, that will take care of
the dependencies as well. So I found out this:
http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/gstreamer/
Angstrom repo. This had the svg plugin and I was able to install it along with the dependencies.
Later I had to enable the TI ADC feature, which required me to upgrade the SDK to "ti-sdk-am335x-evm-06.00.00.00". I tried configuring the Angstrom repo here. I was able to install the plugin, but it was installing a lot of other dependencies like gtk+, libgthread etc, which were already there I think. SO after the install gst-lanuch will just fail without any error. I am not sure if this is a glibc issue or a loader issue.
My next options would be cross compilation of the plugin and its dependencies which is very risky. Can someone suggest an alternative? Is there any other repo compatible with this version of the SDK?
Thanks
