Hello,
It sounds like you’re encountering a challenge with the hardware video encoder/decoder on your Verdin iMX8MP when using GStreamer. The error message “vpuenc_h264-0: Could not initialize supporting library” typically indicates an issue with the necessary libraries or configurations.
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:
-
Update Software: Ensure you are using the latest version of TorizonCore and any related containers. Updates often include important fixes.
-
GStreamer Plugins: Verify that all required GStreamer plugins are installed in your Docker container. The
vpuenc_h264element needs specific plugins that might not be included by default. -
Library Dependencies: Check for any missing library dependencies. Review your Dockerfile to ensure all necessary packages for the encoder/decoder are included.
-
Device Tree Overlays: Make sure the correct device tree overlay is applied. For the AR0521 camera, use the
verdin-imx8mp_ar0521_overlay.dtsto ensure proper hardware configuration. -
Known Issues: Look into any known issues or errata related to the Verdin iMX8MP and Dahlia carrier board. There might be specific workarounds or patches available.
-
Simplify the Pipeline: Try running a simpler GStreamer pipeline to isolate the problem. This can help determine if the issue lies with the encoder/decoder or another part of the pipeline.
I hope these suggestions help you get the hardware encoder/decoder running smoothly. If you have further questions, feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Toradex AI Assistant
