Regarding H.264 encoder usage in Processor SDK

Amritpreet Singh93

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM5728

Hi All

I am using GPEVM for AM5728. And i am using ti-processor-sdk-linux-am57xx-evm-02.00.01.07-es2.0 software release.

We are planning to use QT to capture the video frames through V4L2 APIs and display it in the GUI itself. Now we would also like to encode the captured video frames in H.264 format and save the video on the flash/SDcard.

So my question is how can i use hardware H.264 encoder/decoder in my c/c++ code?

In gstreamer i am able to use ducati plugins, but i have no idea how to add this functionality in my code.

You can refer to git.ti.com/.../videnc2test.c on how to access lower layer APIs for encoding. Note that, in PSDK we only support gstreamer plugins for iva codec.

I did not really understand Manisha. You are saying "in PSDK we only support gstreamerplugins for iva codec."

In our program if we use encoder/decoder like the above link you mentioned, we will not be accessing IVA codecs?

If i capture a frame through V4L2 ioctls in my code, then how can i pass it to 'gstreamer plugins for iva codec' ??

The link that I shared is accessing IVA codec using APIs at lower then gstreamer framwork layer. You will need to figure out how you want to integrate IVA codec in your framework - using gstreamer or lower layer APIs.

By this - "in PSDK we only support gstreamerplugins for iva codec.", I meant that our team will not be able to support queries on lower layer APIs to access and support IVA codec.
