USB Video Class Gadget Library - libguvc 1.3.x

We are pleased to announce our new release of libguvc library. With this update, we have added new features to the library (H264 and MJPEG video format support) and because the people at RidgeRun are known GStreamer fans, we have included a sample GStreamer sink element that allows direct video USB streaming using gst-launch. Additionally, we have increased the list of reference examples for V4L2 and GStreamer APIs. Developing UVC gadget devices has never been this easier!! You can find more information about the library at:

GstWebRTC -- GStreamer Web RTC

GstWebRTC is a GStreamer plug-in that turns pipelines into WebRTC compliant endpoints. The plug-in is equipped with two elements:

• GstWebRTCSrc
• GstWebRTCSink

which allows audio and/or video streaming using the WebRTC protocol.

GstShark V1.2!!

At RidgeRun, we know how important it is to have the right tools to debug your pipeline and tune your system. The right tools are specially useful when your pipeline is not giving you the desired framerate, has too high of CPU load, or causes long latency delays. GstShark is a performance tuning tool for profiling and tuning GStreamer pipelines that integrates right into GStreamer's core. Included in this release: * Offline CTF tracing * Eclipse plug-in front end * Several out-of-the box tracers: - Filter processing time - Inter-latency - Frames per second - Per core CPU usage - Pad scheduling time - Pipeline graphic representation * GNU/Octave scripts to ease data plotting and analysis * Several bug fixes and enhancements. When using GstShark, you benefit from several of its inherent properties as: * Stand alone, GStreamer based library * Portable code * Extensible architecture * Low overhead * Simple usage Besides, thanks to its standard CTF tracing module, GstShark can be integrated with no additional effort to external tools, such as BabelTrace, TraceCompass, and much more! Ask for your evaluation version now!

New! USB Video Class Gadget Library - libguvc

The UVC Video Class Gadget Library or libguvc for short is a platform agnostic library that simplifies the development of UVC based gadget devices by encapsulating the most of the UVC communication leaving just the basic setup to the user. It runs on top of the UVC function driver in the user space and takes care of the communication between the user application and the linux driver stack.

GstShark Development Project

We have had numerous inquiries to our development wiki pages related to an internal product we called Gst-Tune. Gst-Tune was a performance tuning tool we developed internally to help diagnose GStreamer pipeline performance issues and to reduce latency and CPU consumption when developing our customers streaming media products. GstShark will be available as a product to our customers and built on the latest GStreamer 1.x framework.

OpenFD Full Release

Have you tried our OpenFD firmware loader?  All new Irazu based SDK's come with OpenFD support!

OpenFD (Open Firmware Deployer) is an open source tool that helps developers to deploy their firmware to a target board in a variety of ways. Most of the steps required to prepare a bootable SD card, flash programming, and other deployment scenarios, can be simplified and automated using OpenFD. It is designed for boards that run U-Boot as their bootloader, Embedded Linux as their kernel component, and requires a GNU/Linux host PC.
