• 1) setting up trigger_mode on devices
  
  • on source

    Code:

    sudo suecho 1 > /sys/module/imx477/parameters/trigger_modeexit

  • on sink

    Code:

    sudo suecho 2 > /sys/module/imx477/parameters/trigger_modeexit

• 2) starting rpicam-vid on sink and then on source (within a second)
  
  • on source

    Code:

    rpicam-vid --frames 10 -n -o source.h264

  • on sink

    Code:

    rpicam-vid --frames 10 -n -o sink.h264

• on source
