How capture single 8Mp image from rpi camera?

hello iliesaya,

please refer to L4T Accelerated GStreamer User Guide,
you might modify the gstreamer pipeline to include image encoder and dump it as jpg file.
for example,

$ gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc num-buffers=1 ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=2592, height=1944' ! nvjpegenc ! filesink location=sample.jpg

please note that, you should enable different plugins for MIPI and USB sensors.
please check Camera Architecture Stack, that you should only enable v4l2src to access USB cameras.
thanks
