[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v4] v4l2: V4L2CameraProxy: Add EXPBUF as one of the supported ioctl

[Vedant Paranjape]

Hello Laurent,
I have been able to get v4l2-ctl working to stream using dmabuf, here
are the steps I followed:

1) Apply the patch in the trailing email (v4) on the latest branch of libcamera
2) Clone master of v4l-utils and apply this patch
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-media/patch/20220104130708.166638-1-vedantparanjape160201@gmail.com/
3) Compile v4l-utils
4) give alias v4l2-ctl-edge=<PATH OF COMPILED V4l2-ctl>
5) run the following command in libcamera root directory:
     LD_PRELOAD=./build/src/v4l2/v4l2-compat.so v4l2-ctl-edge -d0
--set-fmt-video=pixelformat='YUYV' --stream-mmap --out-device
/dev/video3 --stream-out-dmabuf --get-fmt-video --get-fmt-video-out

I have attached the output of lsv4l2 here as well:

video0: HD WebCam: HD WebCam
video1: HD WebCam: HD WebCam
video2: vivid-000-vid-cap
video3: vivid-000-vid-out

Here's the terminal output: https://paste.debian.net/1226342/

Vedant Paranjape
