Video / Audio Support
Video is currently primarily supported in the Yocto and Ubuntu BSP.
Software
This section is recommended for getting started with example commands for video and audio.
The Ventana product family software has been continuously evolving over the years, thus the instructions can be divided into two groups:
- [NEW] Ventana with the 5.4 Mainline Kernel (only used with latest Ubuntu prebuilt)
- More cutting edge
- Uses open source video drivers, etnaviv and the Linux Media Controller kernel API
- Media-ctl Wiki - Software commands to use Video/Audio, streaming, compositing and more.
- [LEGACY] Ventana with the 3.14 Freescale Kernel (used mostly with Yocto)
- Uses binary Vivante drivers
- All functions fully supported
- Yocto Legacy GStreamer Wiki ( Pipelines, etc ) - Software commands to use Video/Audio, streaming, compositing and more.
So, which one to choose?
- New: This is typically recommended to ensure all the latest support. This is newer and thus more is being continuously flushed out. If other items in the project require a newer kernel use this method.
- Legacy: This works well but new innovations are not happening here. This can be used if the project doesn't require any new features in a newer kernel, and the 3.14 kernel works fine for application.

Board Support Packages (BSP) Software
Choosing a BSP
Gateworks offers several Board Support Packages for the Ventana Product family. Which one we recommend depends a bit upon what your goal is and what your experience level is
- OpenWrt - intended for wireless routers and access points (low flash and memory footprint)
- Recommended for networking users wanting to create a headless router, VPN, basestation, wireless access point and more. Produces by far the smallest storage and memory footprint but users new to Embedded Linux will have a bit of a learning curve
- Fairly up-to-date and/or vanilla kernel support
- Latest wireless drivers (via linux-backports)
- Custom application config and init system (nice for small footprint, but can make adding support for additional packages more work)
- Wide variety of packages (including a fairly nice web-admin)
- Console-based build system (expect 60mins to build BSP for a specific board family)
- Downloadable SDK and Toolchain available to build apps on a development host without building the entire BSP
- Pre-built images available (this is what ships by default on all Ventana boards except for the GW551x)
- Yocto - Full-featured, recommended for video applications using gstreamer
- Recommended for users needing graphics output (either GUI or raw Video) or Video encode/decode/transcode and streaming. Produces the most tailored install (conserving filesystem space) while still using standard Linux distro config and init system. Users new to Embedded Linux or OpenEmbedded will have a bit of a learning curve
- Uses downstream vendor kernel consisting of Freescale patches on top of an older 'long term support' (LTS) kernel plus Gateworks patches for Ventana support
- Supports all Ventana features including those not available in mainline linux such as Video input and IMX6 VPU, GPU support
- Latest wireless drivers (via linux-backports)
- Wide variety of packages
- More 'desktop-like' environment with sysvinit and optional X11, Qt, or Qte
- Console-based build system (OpenEmbedded) (expect 2hours to build BSP for a specific board family)
- Downloadable SDK and Toolchain available to build apps on a development host without building the entire BSP
- Pre-built images available (via web-download with EULA)
- Android
- Recommended for users with existing Android application code/experience or starting from scratch and needing high-end GUI display and/or network framework to take advantage of Android's vast collection of APIs and frameworks. Users new to Android or Java will have a learning curve.
- Uses downstream vendor kernel consisting of Freescale patches on top of an older 'long term support' (LTS) kernel plus Gateworks patches for Ventana support
- Supports all Ventana features including those not available in mainline linux such as Video input and IMX6 VPU, GPU support
- Console-based build system (expect 3hours to build BSP for a specific board family)
- Downloadable IDE to build apps on a development host without building the entire BSP
- Pre-built images available (via web-download with EULA)
- Ubuntu / Debian
- Recommended for developers trying to heavily leverage opensource software packages or libraries that are not supported by the other BSP's. This is the most user-friendly for developers new to Embedded Linux but will not produce a very trimmed down filesystem image.
- Uses downstream vendor kernel consisting of Freescale patches on top of an older 'long term support' (LTS) kernel plus Gateworks patches for Ventana support
- Supports all Ventana features including those not available in mainline linux such as Video input and IMX6 VPU, GPU support
- Documentation provided to use Ubuntu and Debian pre-built packages and debootstrap to create a root filesystem in minutes
- Native compilation: no SDK or cross-toolchain needed
- Windows Embedded Compact 7 (WEC7)
- For users who have an existing WEC app/program and they are not able to migrate to a Linux based OS above.
- Provided by third-party: Adeneo
- Support for GW54xx
The following table may also help in choosing what BSP is right for you:
Feature | Yocto | Android | OpenWrt | Ubuntu | Debian | WEC7 | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pre-built images | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | Yes | |
NAND supported | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | |
Storage Needed | <256MB | 2GB or larger | <256MB | 1GB or larger | 1GB or larger | 1 | |
Build-System | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | 2 |
Toolchain | SDK/Native | No | SDK | Native | Native | 3 | |
GUI | X11/Qt/Qte | Yes | No | No | No | 4 | |
VPU/GPU | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | 5 | |
Web-Admin | No | No | Yes | No | No | 6 |
Notes:
- Two pre-built images are available for Yocto (console which will fit on 256MB or larger and GUI which typically requires 1GB or larger). OpenWrt fits easily in 256MB. Ubuntu and Debian can technically fit in 256MB but once anything useful is added you will need additional storage. NAND flash images are available for Yocto, OpenWrt, and Android (requires 2GB FLASH).
- The Yocto, OpenWrt, and Android BSP's contain an integrated build-system. Debian and Ubuntu have step-by-step instructions on how to build an bootable system in 10 or so steps.
- The Yocto, and OpenWrt BSP's provide a downloadable SDK for cross-compiling applications on a development hosts. The Android SDK for building applications on a development host is provided by Google. For Debian and Ubuntu native development and compilation is supported.
- Details can be found on the Internet on how to build Xserver with hardware acceleration support for IMX6 although its a bit technical.
- For Yocto, Ubuntu and Debian GStreamer support with IMX6 IPU, GPU and VPU support is provided via gstreamer-imx plugins. Android has its own API's for video.
- OpenWrt is designed to be a wireless router and has an integrated web-admin for configuration and control.

Third Party Linux Distros
While Gateworks cannot fully support all Linux distros, it is relatively simple to overlay a Gateworks Ventana kernel onto any non-Gateworks third party Linux distro rootfs image.
The following links will describe what is needed:
- Linux kernel supporting Ventana: linux/kernel
- Root Filesystem: see below
- Bootable media: linux/blockdev
Root filesystem Sources
There are several sources of pre-built root filesystems that are compatible with Ventana. As Ventana uses an i.MX6 SoC, you need to use something that is compatible with an ARMv7 instruction set. Many pre-built distributions will reference 'armhf' which means 'ARM hard-float' which is appropriate for the i.MX6 as it has hardware floating-point.
Some popular third-party sources:
- Ubuntu Core - this is a minimal filesystem that you can build off of at runtime by adding packages from various repositories.
- Linaro - Linaro has several root filesystems including server, nano, developer, core, and ALIP. Each root filesystem will have different things installed for different purposes. Choose carefully which will work for you.
Notes:
- some root filesystems may require you to manually add a user before booting (ie Ubuntu Core)
- the default Ventana bootloader expects to find the uImage and dtbs in the /boot directory on the first partition of type ext2/3/4
Mainline Linux Kernel support
Gateworks actively participates in the development of the Linux kernel and has been submitting support for Ventana and device support since the 3.15 kernel.

- Errata: PCI enumeration through a switch is broken with commit a20c7f3. This was fixed in 4.16 via commit and is fixed in 4.15.10+.
- Note: A change to kernel device-tree's to remove leading zero's causes an issue when using older Gateworks Bootloaders (U-Boot v2015.04 or earlier) - please use the latest Gateworks Bootloader U-Boot v2015.05 if using Linux 4.15 or newer kernels
- 4.13:
- added: IMX6 Video Capture support. Currently the ADV7180 (analog capture) is supported through the media-ctl API
- 4.11:
- fixed: occasional failure with UHS-I capable boards with DDR50 capable microSD cards showing 'mmc0: ddr50 tuning failed' (commit). This was backported to stable kernels 4.10.13+, 4.9.25+, 4.4.64+
- 4.9:
- Gateworks Ventana support added: GW553x
- 4.7:
- Errata: MSI is no longer able to be disabled for IMX6 PCIe host controller which will cause any card/driver requiring legacy PCI interrupts (ie ath9k) to fail if enabled
- 4.5:
- IMX6 GPU support added (etnaviv) driver
- fixed: GW54xx front panel USB VBUS Not enabled on power-up (commit)
- Errata: MSI is enabled for IMX6 PCIe host controller in imx_v6_v7_defconfig which will cause any card/driver requiring legacy PCI interrupts (ie ath9k) to fail if enabled
- 4.4:
- IMX6 LVDS support added
- fixed: FEC Ethernet Device Tree Fix applied to resolve no ethernet on eth1 (Marvell sky2) on GW54xx/GW53xx when using Marvell PHY Driver (CONFIG_MARVELL_PHY/marvell.ko) (commit). This issue dates back to 3.15 when Ventana support was added. As a workaround you can also unload/blacklist the Marvell PHY driver (marvell.ko).
- Errata: occasional failure with UHS-I capable boards with DDR50 capable microSD cards showing 'mmc0: ddr50 tuning failed'. This was fixed in the 4.11 kernel and was backported to stable kernels 4.10.13+, 4.9.25+, 4.4.64+
- Errata: GW54xx front panel USB VBUS Not enabled on power-up. This requires a device-tree fixup that went into 4.5
