iMX 6 parallel video input

john_schluechte — Mon, 19 Mar 2018 14:53:42 GMT

I have an iMX6 SOM from Variscite that is connected to cameras with a TW9990 sensor. At the moment I have no measurable output from the sensor on the D0 data line into the SOM. Is it possible that I do not have the SOM pins set correctly and this is preventing that chip from being able to drive anything other than a 200 mV level on that data line.

I have modified the device tree as follows

I am able to talk to the TVIN chip and it is able to detect the type of camera input NTSC or PAL properly. I am not able see any video using gstreamer or my custom program. I am also unable to measure any output on VD0 into the SOM, that just stays at a 200 mV level.

Thanks

Hi John

one can look at OV5642 example for parallel CSI connection in sabre sd spf-27392
