This project uses rust-bindgen
to make a simple Rust binding for the MMAL library of Raspberry Pi.
MMAL (Multi-Media Abstraction Layer) is a framework which is used to provide a host-side, simple and relatively low-level interface to multimedia components running on VideoCore. The source code of RPI MMAL could be reviewed in project userland.
This project is low-level and simple binding for using RPI camera. You could use rpi-video-rs simply for H264 video record.
Add the following to your Cargo.toml:
toml
[dependencies]
rpi-mmal-rs = "0.0.2"
Since this project sets the default target to arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf.
Developers should compile the code on a real RPI device or cross-compiling
environment. We offers a Dockerfile (in folder tools/docker/) which is a
separate cross-compiling environment.
Users or contributors should install the standard Rust development environment. And then adds Rust targets as below.
rustup target add arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
rustup target add armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
