Hi,

I notice the following problem when running Gstreamer built with
Buildroot or Yocto: running a simple gst-inspect-1.0 command, corrupts
the serial console like shown below:

# gst-inspect-1.0 v4l2convert

I am running Gstreamer 1.18.2, but I recall seeing this on older versions too.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,
