[libcamera-devel] How to activate AGC control in libcamera, or set the GAIN/EXPOSURE parameter by v4l2 command.

Fri Nov 20 08:03:55 CET 2020

Dear David-san

We have tried rpi-update.

We had the build error then.

Do you have any idea for this problem?

Anyway we’ll try clean install.

By the way, we’d like to change the image orientation.

I think v4l2 command support vertical/horizontal flip by changing the register of 0x172[1:0] .

How can we apply this function when using qcam?

I appreciate your kind advice in advance.

Best Regards,

NOMURA

Dear David-san

Thank you for the notification of fixing memory leak issue.

I’ll try it soon.

Best Regards,

Hi everyone

This is just to let you know that doing "sudo rpi-update" should now update your kernel with a fix for this memory leak.

Best regards

David

Hello Nomura-san

Thanks for sending that log. At least it seems to be showing the same
thing that Naush saw, so hopefully there is only a single problem.

You had previously mentioned the following two git commits:

libcamera: c3548a333f86d31213ca9f2ccc3faf743b246743
rpi-update: f794477c7c48061a720d6b9331d27f8d0300009c

Can you perhaps confirm whether this version of the software, with the
above commits at the top of the tree, did show the memory problem or
did not show it?

Best regards
David

> I did try a long running test, and interestingly, mine did also fail at around the 15hour mark (approx 1540000 frames).  My qcam process (running under gdb) was just terminated at that point.  However, no reboot occurred.  Looking at the dmesg logs, it seems that the Out of Memory killer terminated the task.  This suggests that there is maybe a memory leak lurking somewhere in either libcamera core or the Raspberry Pi ipa/pipeline handler.
