Hello!
I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues with the VPU encoder on your Verdin iMX8M Mini using BSP 7. Let’s explore some steps that might help resolve this:
-
Review BSP Changes:
- Check the release notes for BSP 7 to see if there are any changes related to the VPU or GStreamer that could impact the encoder’s functionality.
-
Verify VPU Driver and Firmware:
- Ensure that the VPU driver and firmware are correctly installed and compatible with BSP 7. Sometimes, updates in the BSP require corresponding updates in the VPU firmware.
-
Check GStreamer Plugin Compatibility:
- Make sure the GStreamer plugins you are using are compatible with BSP 7. There might be updates or changes in the plugin versions that could affect functionality.
-
Examine Pipeline Configuration:
- Double-check your GStreamer pipeline configuration for any syntax errors or deprecated elements that might not be supported in the new BSP version.
-
Experiment with Different Parameters:
- Try adjusting the pipeline parameters, such as resolution or framerate, to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if the problem is related to specific settings.
-
Investigate Known Issues:
- Look into any known issues or errata for BSP 7 that might relate to the VPU or GStreamer. This information can sometimes provide insights into unresolved bugs or workarounds.
I hope these steps help you get the VPU encoder working with BSP 7. If the issue persists, examining the specific error messages and logs in more detail might provide further clues.
