10. Hardware video codec support:

The C3V platform has hardware media video codecs and provides a V4L2 interface. It currently supports GStreamer 1.20.1, 1 and GStreamer .22.9, and 1.24.2:

For Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.04, we recommend using version 1.22.9, which is the same as the version that Buildroot 24 used default. It’s newer than the default versions of Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.04. And its patch can be found in the code path: <C3V_code>/linux/rootfs/initramfs/buildroot/package/gstreamer1.

For Ubuntu 24.04, we recommend using version 1.24.2, which is the same as the version of Ubuntu 24.04 used default.

View file
namegstreamer-1.24.2-20250124-patch.tar

To use version 1.20.1, please use the following patch:

View file
namegst1-plugins-good-1.20.1.diff
. However, we recommend using version 1.22.9 since the version of GStreamer that comes with Buildroot 24 is currently 1.22.9. We want to keep the version used on Ubuntu same as the Buildroot one for maintenance and updating purposes

This patch is older than other GStreamer patches and may have some bugs, if you really need to use this version, please contact us to update it.

Reference

Compile and install Gstreamer 1.22.9 for C3V codec in C3V Ubuntu environment
