Yavta (Yet Another Video Test Application) is a tool developed by the maintainer of the V4L2 subsystem to enable simplified testing of video interfaces.

There is some overlap with other tools in that yavta allows you to set various configuration options, but generally the primary use of yavta is to capture frames.
# yavta -n 3 -c10 -f NV12 -s 1920x1080 --skip 7 -F /dev/video0  （capture 3 pictures）
This exercises the entire pipeline, though the DMA, into allocated buffers in memory and finally saves the resulting frames to files in your rootfs
Note that theses are raw files ‘hot off the presses’, not JPEG or any other format, so whether it’s RGB data or YUV you’ll need to convert them into something understandable by an image editor.
