Camera Module

download source code from github

• ldcam developed base on gstreamer

git clone https://github.com/lindenis-org/ldcam-gst.git

compile

• compile on v5 board===

you can execute "make" directly

• compile on your own env

you should create the Makefile by yourself

user commd

you can use "./ldcam -?" or "./ldcam --help" to get the cmd instructions

Samples

Please refer to Demo programs.

Demo programs

Allwinner release a series of MPP samples. You can download from Github.

$ git clone https://github.com/lindenis-org/mpp_sample ~/mpp_sample

After downloading, You will get the following directory.

app/
Makefile.param
README.md
sample_adec/
sample_aenc/
sample_ai/
......

app/ includes a set of MPP samples with a command line based menu. sample_xxx/ is a separate sample of the scene. Root privileges is required when run these sample. e.g.

$ sudo ./app/release/app_mpp_sample
