Userland CLI utility to capture frames from Vimicro vc088x SoC camera (Viewsonic Viewpad 10e)
Right now this is a quick and dirty example of squeezing image data from a very closed and proprietary VC088x chip. The official driver for it is not v4l-compatible and there is no source code for a libcamera library using it.
So if you're about to dig into this mess (or a similar mess from another brand), this code will help you. A little.
Usage EXAMPLES:
Building:
./compile.sh
Capturing raw stream:
./ioctl | pv > raw.yuv
Encoding pipeline (experimental):
./ioctl | ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuyv422 -s 1280x1024 -i - -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast capture.mp4
