Use the Gstreamer pipeline to launch a 1280x720 resolution camera (/dev/video0) via the CPU:
$ DISPLAY=:0 gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! \
"video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=1280, height=720, framerate=60/1" ! xvimagesink sync=false -
Use the Gstreamer pipeline to launch a 1280x720 resolution camera (/dev/video0) via the GPU:
$ DISPLAY=:0 gst-launch-1.0 nvv4l2camerasrc device=/dev/video0 ! \
"video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=UYVY, width=1280, height=720, framerate=60/1" ! \
nvvidconv ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=NV12" ! nv3dsink sync=false
Troubleshooting
Cannot Find Cameras
If you cannot bring up the cameras, check whether the video device exists.
$ ls /dev/video* # List all video devices
/dev/video0
If you cannot see the device, check whether the camera driver has been probed and verify that DEFAULT tn-tevs, the Orin Nano base FDT, and the TEVS overlay are present in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf.
Occur Error: Could not get EGL display connection
If you encounter nvbufsurftransform: Could not get EGL display connection when running the Gstreamer command, set the display environment and retry:
$ export DISPLAY=$(w | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | grep :)
$ gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! \
"video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=1280, height=720, framerate=60/1" ! xvimagesink sync=false
