Useful instructions
How to test OV5640 camera
To use the D3 mezzanine board with AV96 and the OV5640 camera, one has to apply the correct DTO first:
STM32MP> setenv loaddtos '#conf-stm32mp157a-avenger96.dtb#conf-stm32mp15xx-avenger96-overlay-ov5640-x7.dtbo'; boot
Afterward it is possible to stream frames from the camera:
$ XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/var/run/user/$(id -u weston)/ gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,width=1280,height=720 ! queue ! waylandsink
