Linux Video4Linux2 API (v4l2)

Video4Linux or V4L is a collection of device drivers and an API for supporting readltime video capture on Linux systems. Various V4L drivers will create /dev/video* nodes in the filesystem that can be operated on for video capture.

This wiki page is created for use of v4l2 on ​Gateworks Rugged and Industrial Single Board Computers Made in the USA.

v4l2-ctl utility

The v4l2-ctl application from the v4l-utils package can be used to query or configure a v4l2 device.

For complete information, including output resolutions etc , use the following: 

root@ventana:~# v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video3 --all # query all details about /dev/video3

See Also:

video standards

Analog video v4l2 capture devices will support one or more of the various analog video standards used throughout the world. For example the ADV7180 supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM standards.

You can use the Video4Linux API to determine if an input is detected and what mode by using the v4l2-ctl --get-standard command which reports one of the following:

  • No supported input detected - Video Standard = 0x00ffffff
  • NTSC - Video Standard = 0x000000ff
  • PAL - Video Standard = 0x000000ff

Example:

  • Show Analog Video status on GW51xx/GW52xx/GW53xx (/dev/video0): 
    v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video0 --get-standard
  • Show Analog Video status on GW54xx (/dev/video1) 
    v4l2-ctl --device /devivideo0 --get-standard

video inputs

Some capture devices have multiple video inputs. The v4l2-ctl application can be used to get or set the current input.

Examples:

  • show current inputs that /dev/video3 supports: 
    v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video3 --get-input
  • select input1: 
    v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video3 --set-input=1

pixel formats, framesizes, and framerates

You can use v4l2-ctl to show what pixel formats a video device supports and select a desired format. Note that v4l2 devices support one or more pixel formats, and various resolutions and framerates for each format. You must ask what resolutions are supported for a particular format, and what framerates are supported for a particular resolution/format.

Examples:

  • show formats that /dev/video3 supports: 
    v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video3 --list-formats-ext
  • show what resolutions /dev/video3 supports for the UYVY pixel format: 
    v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video3 --list-framesizes=UYVY
  • show what framerates /dev/video3 supports for UYVY at 640x480: 
    v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video3 --list-frameintervals=width=640,height=480,pixelformat=UYVY
  • set format for /dev/video0 to 1280x720 UYVY: 
    v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1280,height=720,pixelformat=UYVY

It is not uncommon for a v4l2 driver to not properly support the enumeration of various formats, resolutions, and framerates. If you find that a device is not returning anything useful for --list-formats --list-formats-ext --list-framesizes --list-framerates then you can try --all to get the default configuration of the device.

capturing video frames

You can use v4l2-ctl to capture frames as well.

Examples:

  • capture a single raw frame using mmap method: 
    v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video0 --stream-mmap --stream-to=frame.raw --stream-count=1

Note that the convert tool from the ​​ImageMagick package is useful for image format conversions as long as you know the specific details of the raw image.

Examples:

  • convert a raw 640x480 16bit UYVY to png: 
    convert -size 640x480 -depth 16 uyvy:frame.raw frame.png

For an example v4l2 application for capturing frames see [​​https://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/capture-example.html here].

For capturing video we recommend using more full-featured applications such as GStreamer

v4l2 application code

If you are coding an application that uses the v4l2 API the best examples are the v4l2-util application. You can find its source at ​​https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/tree/

The API documentation can be found at:

Note that there are many references online to what is considered the 'legacy' API used prior to the 3.0 kernel. Be sure to use the documentation above for the current version of the v4l2 API.

Examples:

As a rule of thumb it is best to configure all aspects of a device within your code to eliminate any dependence on the initial state of a video device and/or requiring configuring a device outside of your application with something like v4l2-ctl. For completeness set the following:

  • input (VIDIOC_S_INPUT)
  • standard (VIDIOC_S_STD)
  • format (VIDIOC_S_FMT) including width, height, pixel format, fields
  • framerate (VIDIOC_S_PARM)

Be aware that the ioctl syscall can return a -1 result with errno = EINTR to indicate the syscall was interrupted in which case it should be tried again. Because of this you should consider providing a wrapper for ioctl such as: 

static int xioctl(int fh, int request, void *arg)
{
        int r;

        do {
                r = ioctl(fh, request, arg);
        } while (-1 == r && EINTR == errno);

        return r;
}

IMX6 Ventana mxc_v4l2_capture driver

The Ventana product family based on the Freescale IMX6 System On Chip (SoC) has a Freescale provided capture driver (mxc_v4l2_capture) that is present in the Gateworks downstream vendor kernel used for the Yocto BSP.

This capture device driver implements two video inputs which represent different pipelines in the SoC:

  • input0 (default) - CSI -> IC -> MEM: useful if you want to perform image manipulation using the IMX6 hardware blocks
  • input1 - CSI -> MEM: raw image capture

If capturing frames be sure to skip the first frame as the CSI has not fully synchronized on its capture input.

To demonstrate a capture of a raw frame you can use the v4l2_ctl application: 

# configure input 1 for CSI -> MEM (raw image capture)
v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video0 --set-input=1
# configure format
v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=UYVY
# capture 2nd frame
v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video0 --stream-mmap --stream-skip=1 --stream-to=frame.raw --stream-count=1
# Use ImageMagick to convert it from raw 16-bit UYVY to PNG
convert -size 1920x1080 -depth 16 uyvy:frame.raw frame.png

Notes:

  • The mxc_v4l2_capture driver does not support the enumeration ioctls necessary to query device capabilities (VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT, VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES, VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMEINTERVALS). The following format details show what is supported:
    • HDMI In via tda1997x (GW54xx/GW551x): V4L2_PIX_FMT_UYVY non-interlaced frames (even when using the yuv422bt656 capture mode the bt656 is converted to non-interlaced frames by the IMX IC) with a resolution, framerate and colorspace dictated by the HDMI source.
    • CVBS In via adv7180: V4L2_PIX_FMT_UYVY non-interlaced frames (bt656 output is converted to non-interlaced frames by the IMX IC) with a resolution of either 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL) depending on the input source

Code Example:

  • This example code will capture raw frames from the onboard video capture devices on the Ventana boards using the IMX6 CSI. It shows how to save the raw frame, process pixels (by counting the number of red pixels in the image), and convert it to a png via imagemagick
