1 Overview[edit source]
Yavta stands for "Yet Another V4L2 Test Application". This is a test application based on V4L2 Linux® kernel interface that allows testing, debugging and controlling camera subsystem.
2 How to use Yavta[edit source]
/usr/sbin # yavta --help
Usage: yavta [options] device
Supported options:
-c, --capture[=nframes] Capture frames
-C, --check-overrun Verify dequeued frames for buffer overrun
-d, --delay Delay (in ms) before requeuing buffers
-D, --display Display frames
-f, --format format Set the video format
-F, --file[=name] Read/write frames from/to disk
For video capture devices, the first '#' character in the file name is
expanded to the frame sequence number. The default file name is
'frame-#.bin'.
-h, --help Show this help screen
-i, --input input Select the video input
-I, --fill-frames Fill frames with check pattern before queuing them
-l, --list-controls List available controls
-n, --nbufs n Set the number of video buffers
-p, --pause Pause before starting the video stream
-q, --quality n MJPEG quality (0-100)
-r, --get-control ctrl Get control 'ctrl'
-R, --realtime=[priority] Enable realtime RR scheduling
-s, --size WxH Set the frame size
-t, --time-per-frame num/denom Set the time per frame (eg. 1/25 = 25 fps)
-u, --userptr Use the user pointers streaming method
-w, --set-control 'ctrl value' Set control 'ctrl' to 'value'
--enum-formats Enumerate formats
--enum-inputs Enumerate inputs
--no-query Don't query capabilities on open
--offset User pointer buffer offset from page start
--requeue-last Requeue the last buffers before streamoff
--skip n Skip the first n frames
--sleep-forever Sleep forever after configuring the device
--stride value Line stride in bytes
