Ezequiel and Nicolas,

Thanks - I did manage to get gstreamer 1.19.3 built successfully with
v4l2codecs finally by getting the correct dependencies. I've attempted
to software encode from another system and decode/display on the IMX8M
Mini but thus far have not been successful.

I see that v4l2codecs plugin v4l2slh264dec/v4l2slmpeg2dec/v4l2slvp8dec
and these all can output video/x-raw NV12/YUY2 which kmssink should
accept so I'm attempting the following :

# vp8 encode from x86
gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,width=800,height=480 !
vp8enc ! rtpvp8pay ! udpsink host=172.24.33.15 port=9001
# vp8 decode on imx8mm@....24.33.15 which has a 800x480 display

I'm getting the same thing when trying to use h264.

I've never quite been able to grasp how to debug GStreamer's
negotiation issues. If I end with fakesink it appears to decode so it
must be the v4l2slvp8dec to kmssink. I tried forcing the pixel format
using 'v4l2slvp8dec ! "video/x-raw,format=(string)NV12" ! kmssink' but
I still get the negotiation error.

What interrupts should I be seeing in /proc/interrupts? I don't see
anything vpu/hantro related there.

I also want to make sure I have a basic understanding of the vpu
drivers and usersapce on the IMX8M Mini. The IMX6Q/DL that I'm more
familiar with has a vpu that is supported by the GStreamer video4linux
plugin which shows the following (on GStreamer 1.16.2):
  v4l2jpegenc: V4L2 JPEG Encoder
  v4l2jpegdec: V4L2 JPEG Decoder
  v4l2h264enc: V4L2 H.264 Encoder
  v4l2mpeg4enc: V4L2 MPEG4 Encoder
  v4l2mpeg4dec: V4L2 MPEG4 Decoder
  v4l2mpeg2dec: V4L2 MPEG2 Decoder
  v4l2h264dec: V4L2 H264 Decoder
The IMX6Q/DL also has an IPU that has an M2M driver that provides the
following for scaling/colorspace conversion:
  v4l2convert: V4L2 Video Converter

I believe what I'm reading is that the IMX8M Mini Hantro codecs are
'stateful' where more software is required to drive them and is
supported by the newer v4l2codecs plugin. I haven't been able to
understand what kernel version/requirements the v4l2codecs plugin
users/requires.

I'm also trying to understand how we can get scaling/colorspace
conversion on the IMX8M Mini. The IMX8M lacks an IPU... is there some
way to utilize scaling/colorspace conversion from the 2D GPU bound to
the etnaviv driver?

Best regards,

Tim
