Missing iMX 8M Mini support for Media controller API

krzysztof_kozlo — Fri, 07 Aug 2020 10:44:39 GMT

Hi,

I am using iMX 8M Mini with several MIPI CSI sensors (OV, IMX). The Linux kernel is based on codeaurora imx_4.19.35_1.1.0 (v4.19.35-5188-g8507afc3a397).

It's very important to have the media controller API available and use media-ctl however iMX 8M Mini is not supported. Other flavors are (fsl,imx8mn, fsl,imx8qxp, fsl,imx8qxp) but the "mm" is not.

Since it is a basic feature of MIPI CSI of SoC, it's crucial to have it available.

When could we expect adding missing media controller API support for i.MX 8 M Mini? Or maybe there is some workaround for this?

Best regards,

Krzysztof

Hi Krzysztof

VPI APIs are described in nxp official linux documentation, for example

i.MX VPU API Reference Manual

Also one can look Chapter 6 Video i.MX Linux Reference Manual

Supported functionalities are described in i.MX Linux Release Notes

I am afraid media-ctl is not supported by nxp.

Best regards
igor
