Video capture
Description
This sample application uses the Video to capture frames from a video capture device then uses the Display Interface to display them onto an LCD screen (if any).
Requirements
This sample needs a video capture device (e.g. a camera) but it is not mandatory. Supported camera modules on some i.MX RT boards can be found below.
Wiring
On NXP MIMXRT1064-EVK, the MT9M114 camera module should be plugged in the J35 camera connector. A USB cable should be connected from a host to the micro USB debug connector (J41) in order to get console output via the freelink interface.
On NXP MIMXRT1170-EVK/EVKB, the OV5640 camera module should be plugged into the J2 camera connector. A USB cable should be connected from a host to the micro USB debug connector (J11) in order to get console output via the daplink interface.
Building and Running
For NXP MIMXRT1064-EVK, build this sample application with the following commands:
west build -b mimxrt1064_evk --shield dvp_fpc24_mt9m114 --shield rk043fn66hs_ctg samples/subsys/video/capture
For NXP MIMXRT1170-EVK/EVKB, build this sample application with the following commands:
west build -b mimxrt1170_evk/mimxrt1176/cm7 --shield nxp_btb44_ov5640 --shield rk055hdmipi4ma0 samples/subsys/video/capture
For testing purpose without the need of any real video capture and/or display hardwares, a video software pattern generator is supported by the above build commands without specifying the shields.
