where is the gst-openmax package in omap release ppa

Hello,

I'm using OMAP4460 PandaBoard on Ubuntu 12.04 and I add the ppa source from  tiomap-dev/release .

I found that the  gstreamer0.10-openmax package only provided on Ubuntu oneiric.I can't find it on Ubuntu precise.

Is the gst-openmax  can't work fine on precise ?If not ,where i can find the package?

Regards,

Qee

  • Hi Qee,

    you can find more information on this link: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.pandaboard/7584. Quoting from there: "gst-ducati vs gst-openmax: we made the decision to move away from gst-omx for various technical reasons."

  • OK,you say that gst-omx was moved away from ppa.Since i were using the omx_camera plugin to provide NV12 video source data before ,then now i must find some plugin to do this job instead !  What kind of plugin can  i use in gstreamer ? Is that v4l2src plugin ?

    Thanks for your reply!

  • Qee,

    Indeed video codecs are now accessed via DCE rather than OMX APIs.

    However, the official way to access OMX camera on Ducati side is still gst-openmax / domx, there is no gst-ducati / dce equivalent. Due to a license restriction, the OMX camera code is not present in TI public firmware on tiomap-dev/release PPA. In order to obtain a firmware containing OMX camera, you need to contact your dear TI representative.

    There is another way to access Ducati camera via v4l2 APIs, but it is unofficial, unsupported and incomplete. See omap4-v4l2-camera
