Sensoray 1012 on IMX8

Hello,

I am planning to work Apalis IMX8 and Ixora Carrier with Sensoray
Model-1012(8-channel frame grabber and 8-channel audio capture | Model 1012)

There is a guideline that sensoray provides for IMX6 :
http://www.sensoray.com/wiki/index.php?title=1012_TORADEX

but i dont know how to work with it on IMX8.

When i contact with Sensoray tech support they said it is possible with manual config.

As far as i got stuck with finding the right image that guide line point at this line:

wget http://developer1.toradex.com/files/toradex-dev/uploads/media/Colibri/Linux/Images/old/Apalis_iMX6_LinuxImageV2.4Beta1_20150518.tar.bz2

after this line idk if there is any other possible problem that i am going to face.

Greetings @Engineering_AV,

I don’t personally have any experience with this particular hardware peripheral, but I gave the instructions from Sensoray a quick look-through. It seems fairly simple just need to enable a kernel configuration for the driver of this device, then recompile the kernel. However the instructions from Sensoray seem a bit outdated.

Please consult our article here: Build U-Boot and Linux Kernel from Source Code | Toradex Developer Center

It has everything from getting the right toolchain, kernel sources, and other components. Then as Sensoray stated just add the config for this device manually and re-compile the kernel.

Thank you for your reply.

The point i got stuck with sensoray guide and toradex build u-boot and linux kernal guide is kinda same.

In this guide:

There is “Linux Image / Flashing Tools” section and there i cant find the right BSP demo image for Apalis Imx8 in this link Index of /Colibri/Linux/Images

Oh that link is for our older version images. If you’re working on our newer images like Torizon you can download the latest stable images from here: Downloads & Installers | Toradex Developer Center
