Capture image issues with IMX7D and CSI (CMOS)

eddie_vazquez_h — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 20:49:47 GMT

Hello community,

I have several questions regarding capturing a single picture using CSI interface. I have set up parallel sensor and csi driver (mx6s_capture.c). Driver for camera was ported to use subdev and succesfully shows as subdev of csi.

When I try to use

./mx6s_v4l2_capture.out -d /dev/video0

It calls functions from sensor driver but throws the following error:

VIDIOC ENUM FMT failed

Comparing my /include/media/v4l2-subdev.h against an older copy, the .enum_mbus_fmt in v4l2_subdev_video_ops is gone so I'm thinking maybe mx6s_v4l2_capture.out it's outdated. Do you have a newer version for this tool and also some documentation on how to use it?

Also, I've noticed csi_enable function in mx6s_capture.c never gets called and hence peripheral is never enabled. How could I call this function from user space?

In a nutshell all I'm pursuing is to take a picture (no video), no matter if from user space or programatically, do you have any documentation or thread on how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Hi Eddie

one can try with latest csi unit tests

mxc_v4l2_test\test - imx-test - i.MX Driver Test Application Software

and Linux 4.19.35_1.1.0 Documentation

Best regards

Thanks Igor, I checked the source for mx6s_v4l2_capture.out on the link you provided and it still uses .enum_mbus_fmt

Do you know if mxc_v4l2_capture.c is compatible with imx7d CSI and can be used instead?

Thanks

yes it is compatible and can be debugged as on link
