Some Experience When Enable MIPI Camera

shaojun_wang — Wed, 08 May 2013 02:56:47 GMT

1. Debug steps for customer MIPI sensor

Debug steps for customer MIPI sensor.docx is the doc about how to debug MIPI sensor.

2. SabreSD default setting

In SabreSD board, ov5642 is connected to CSI0 parallel port, ov5640_mipi is connected to MIPI CSI port.

In BSP default setting, ov5640_mipi is routed to IPU0, CSI1. According to the doc, the virtual channel in MX6x side is 1, so virtual channel 1 should be enabled in camera sensor side. In driver ov5640_mipi.c, the code is “ov5640_set_virtual_channel(ov5640_data.csi)”.

3. MIPI DPHY clock setting

According to the doc, MIPI DPHY clock should match camera sensor clock.

If the clocks are not matched, the MX6x MIPI_CSI Error state register MIPI_CSI_ERR1 is not 0, it would be 0x3, “Start of Transmission Error on data lane”.

So when enable new MIPI camera, need to measure the frequency of clock lane, or calculate from the related sensor register, then configure MPII DPHY clock.

For example, if the clock lane frequency is 128MHz, the clock range should be 250-270MHz because of DDR clock mode, so write 0x08 to CSI2_PHY_TST_CTRL1. One function of MIPI_CSI_PHY_TST_CTRL1 is setting the MIPI DPHY clock, this function is not described in MX6DQ RM revD.

The patch is

mipi_csi2_write(info, 0x00000000, CSI2_PHY_TST_CTRL0);

4. Virtual channel

For some mipi camera sensor, such as Samsung s5k4ec, the virtual channel is fixed to 0, there is no register in the sensor to configure it to other value.

We can configure the mipi camera to IPU0 CSI0 so the virtual channel in MX6 side is 0.

If virtual channel in camera side and MX6 side is not same, there is no error in mipi state and error register, but we will see below log when mx6 capture image

ERROR: v4l2 capture: mxc_v4l_dqueue timeout enc_counter 0
VIDIOC_DQBUF failed.

5. Mipi and CSI camera on same CSI port

If the parallel sensor is connected to CSI0 in the board, to enable dual camera, need to apply patch 0001-support-mipi-and-parallel-camera-on-same-csi-port.patch

Original Attachment has been moved to: 0001-support-mipi-and-parallel-camera-on-same-csi-port.patch.zip

Hi Wang,

I look your text, and think you have a lot knowledge about mipi camera for i.mx6q.

I have a problem with mipi and want you help me.

I am using a custom mipi camera with two modes:

first: 1280x720@30fps 4lanes

second: 2560x1440@30fps 4lanes

Now i can capture correct images from camera on first mode.

But when camera work on second mode, the images i get is not correct,

and IPU error: IPU1_INT_STAT_5=0x00000001 is happedned.

About this error, RM says it is IPU clock is not enough for the requirement.

Does this means my camera is too quick for i.mx6q?

The problem is i can not set camera to output a slower fps.

So i can't confirm where is the problem.

According to the RM, MIPI 4 data lanes port supports up to 400MByte/sec

And now my camera is 2560x1440x30x2=221.184MByte/sec, that is not over the 400MByte/sec.

Do you have any ideas about this? Thank you very Much.

Hi Wang,

I am using omini vision ov9740 mipi camera on imx6q.

I am getting "ERROR: v4l2 capture: mxc_v4l_dqueue timeout enc_counter 0".

Could you please help us & give idea to debug this issue.

The camera interface is mipi & connected to CSI1 & ipu0.

The mipi register value whic i got are below

MIPI_CSI_PHY_STATE 0x320

MIPI_CSI_ERR1 0x0

MIPI_CSI_ERR2 0x10

The board config file setting for mipi,v4l2capture & sensor are below.

1)mipi

static struct mipi_csi2_platform_data mipi_csi2_pdata = {

.ipu_id = 0,

.csi_id = 1,

.v_channel = 0,

.lanes = 2,

.dphy_clk = "mipi_pllref_clk",

.pixel_clk = "emi_clk",

};

2)v4l2_capture

static struct fsl_mxc_capture_platform_data capture_data[] = {

{

.csi = 0,

.ipu = 0,

.mclk_source = 0,

.is_mipi = 0,

}, {

.csi = 1,

.ipu = 0,

.mclk_source = 0,

.is_mipi = 1,

};

3)ov9740 sensor

static struct fsl_mxc_camera_platform_data mipi_csi2_data = {

.mclk = 24000000,

.mclk_source = 0,

.csi = 1,

.io_init = mx6q_mipi_sensor_io_init,

.pwdn = mx6q_mipi_powerdown,

}

The camera image setting looks fine i.e(width(1280), height(720), pixformat(UYVY) ,DATA_WIDTH 8bit by debug print in mxc_v4l2_capture.c as well as in sensor file).

The sensor is connected to mipi via two lane.

Mipi is configure for two lane & sensor is sending data on one lane only(as per sensor setting).

Hi,

Sorry, the document you have referenced is not accessible. Can you check this?

The reason that I'm asking is that I'm trying to debug MIPI for a camera driver I've been working on (Aptina AR0330) and I'm interested to know more about points 3 and 4. Both points mention something about the referenced document which I can't get any access to.

Thanks

Hi,

I have got my 2560x1440@30fps mipi camera worked.

The reason is ccm_pixel_clk is not enough.

When up the aix_clk_root, it works fine.

I want to know how this value is decided.

Is there anyone know about this?

Hi Shaojun,

I am having some troubles displaying both camera at the same time with camera overlay in SABRESD_6DQ board.

I wonder if your post hold the solution somewhere...

1. In [2. SabreSD default setting] you say that

> In SabreSD board, ov5642 is connected to CSI0 parallel port, ov5640_mipi is connected to MIPI CSI port.

How did you find this out? I can't see anywhere which camera i have on my board (we bought from freescale). looking at /dev/video* doesn't give much information, and I tried querying the capabilities in v4l2, but I "name" and "bus_info" are empty!

The only thing I know is that I am able to display each camera separately, if I open only one at a time.

2. Then you say that "virtual channel 1 should be enabled in camera sensor side"

Do you mean that we should replace "ov5640_set_virtual_channel(ov5640_data.csi)" by "ov5640_set_virtual_channel(1)" ?

Here is the post with my original problem:

Display both camera with android 4.2.2 on sabresd_6dq (imx6)

I am on android, but basically the kernel code seems to be the same

Thanks

davemcmordie — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 22:49:44 GMT

Thanks Shaojun! This has been a big help.

I am at the situation with the OV5647 where the MIPI phy seems to be synchronized: the state is 0x300 and both ERR1 and ERR2 registers are 0x0. However, I am not receiving images (ERROR: v4l2 capture: mxc_v4l_dqueue timeout enc_counter 0). Could this be because of problems on the MIPI bus, or can I rule that out at this point, based on the state and error registers?

Regards,

Dave

Hi all!

I am trying to write a custom mipi camera module connect to imx6q sabre lite (nitrogen6q) board.

The custom camera's details are:

Sony imx139, 2 data lanes.

For my mipi camera sensor there is no register to configure virtual channel.

I think what the virtual channel is fixed to 0.

How can I configure CSI and IPU to set virtual channel to 0 in iMX6q side?

in the board-mx6_nitrogen6x.c I wrote:

.......

mxc_iomux_set_gpr_register(1, 19, 1, 1);

.......

and

.......

{
        .ipu = 0,
        .csi = 0,
        .mclk_source = 0,
        .is_mipi = 1,
},

.......

It is correct?

Thanks a lot!

davemcmordie — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 14:28:57 GMT

H Michael,

I am now struggling to do the same thing (get the MIPI->IPU/CSI routing

correct) with my baseboard, having moved on from the Wanboard

configuration. Here’s what I see in the IMX6Q reference manual, page

1928:

****

The reset values are 0, 0. Double check your sensor datasheet for the

virtual channel address, but if it is zero, the default configuration of

the board (GPR1 bit 19 = 0, bit 20 = 0) would have route MIPI virtual

channel 0 to IPU1 CSI0. On that basis I think you want to do:

mxc_iomux_set_gpr_register(1, 19, 1, 0);

But as I say I am not having much luck as I make my camera work with a

different baseboard, so I may have this wrong.

HTH,

Dave

Michael, try to use the patch that is attached at the beginning of this thread. I tried it and it worked fine when I left my mipi camera output on vc=0.

takashitakahash — Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:28:33 GMT

I have 4. Virtual channel related question.

Related to 4. Virtual channel of community links, and there is a patch of sharing MIPI CSI-2 and Parallel.

I refer to this patch, Parallel and MIPI CSI-2 acquisition at the same time can be input ? Or be switched?

If that can be achieved for a parallel input and MIPI input,Is it may be a recognition that can capture both the total bandwidth is at 240MHz or less?

Re: Some Experience When Enable MIPI Camera

rejeeshbabu — Thu, 04 Feb 2016 07:55:30 GMT

Hello Wang and All,

I am developing V4L2 image sensor driver for a custom sensor.

Platform details are:

Board : HummingBoard-i2eX (i.MX6 Dual)

OS : Ubuntu, Linux Kernel 3.0.35

Sensor details:

1. Supported MIPI lanes : 2 Lane/4 Lane (configured to use 2 lane mode)

2. Supported MIPI data format : RAW 10 /RAW8 (configured to use RAW10)

3. Virtual channel : configured to 0

4. Clock Frequency : 24MHz (This is actually sensor clock, MIPI clock is 114 MHz)

5. Resolution : 1280 x 720

I am getting error "ERROR: v4l2 capture: mxc_v4l_dqueue timeout enc_counter 0" for VIDIOC_DQBUF IOCTL.

To begin my trouble shooting, I would like to get my below board configuration file modifications reviewed:

//Sensor details

static struct fsl_mxc_camera_platform_data mipi_csi2_data = {

.mclk = 24000000, // Is this OK ? Or should I put the MIPI clock(114 MHz) here?

.mclk_source = 0, // Does this indicate HB MIPI clock source is sensor?

.csi = 0, // Does this indicate camera sensor is using IPU #1/CSI0 ?

.io_init = mx6q_csi0_io_init, // I use this function to Enable mipi to IPU1 CSI0 (mxc_iomux_set_gpr_register(1, 19, 1, 0))

};

Since this structure definition doesn't have any documentation, I did not understand the meaning of these parameters. Please explain me these parameters if anybody is aware of.

//Details of MIPI CSI2 interface

static struct mipi_csi2_platform_data mipi_csi2_pdata = {

.ipu_id = 0,

.csi_id = 0,

.v_channel = 0,

.lanes =2,

.dphy_clk = "mipi_pllref_clk",

.pixel_clk = "emi_clk",

};

/*Details of capture device*/

static struct fsl_mxc_capture_platform_data capture_data[] = {

{

.csi = 0,

.ipu = 0,

.mclk_source = 0,

.is_mipi = 1,

};

Actually, I took these values from another sensor patch, i dont really know what these parameters are :smileyhappy:

Now, assuming that my board configuration is ok, I went ahead with driver debugging. Below are the observations:

1. I2C communication is ok

2. MIPI_CSI_PHY_STATE value is : 630,sometimes 330,300 also (Is this ok or is it indicating any clock related issue?)

3. MIPI_CSI_ERR1/2 both return 0

Any hints to my issue? Can someone direct me how to proceed with debugging?

I am following the document attached in this thread to debug, however I didnt find any apis in mxc_mipi driver to read other registers

(MIPI_CSI_N_LANES ~ MIPI_CSI_DATA_IDS_2). I saw only apis to read MIPI_CSI_PHY_STATE and MIPI_CSI_ERR1/2 registers. Can someone guide me on how to read the other registers (also, IPU registers) ?

Re: Some Experience When Enable MIPI Camera

rejeeshbabu — Thu, 04 Feb 2016 11:55:09 GMT

Hi All,

I managed to read those registers mentioned in the debug doc. One thing I quickly noticed is that, value of IPU1_CONF suggest that CSI0 if IPU1 is disabled (which is what I am trying to use!). Can somebdy let me know how to enable CSI0 if IPU1 (just writing to this bit from sensor driver is OK?).

Also, it would be great if someone could check the values of other registers as well and make more suggestions.

MIPI_CSI_N_LANES : 0x 1

MIPI_CSI_PHY_SHUTDOWNZ : 0x 1

MIPI_CSI_DPHY_RSTZ : 0x 1

MIPI_CSI_CSI2_RESETN : 0x 1

MIPI_CSI_PHY_STATE : 0x 630

MIPI_CSI_DATA_IDS_1 : 0x 0

MIPI_CSI_DATA_IDS_2 : 0x 0

IPU1_CONF : 0x660

IPUx_INT_STAT_1 : 0x800000

IPUx_CSI0_DI : 0xffffffff

IPU1_CSI0_SENS_CONF : 0x 0

IPU1_CSI0_SENS_FRM_SIZE : 0x 0

IPU1_CSI0_ACT_FRM_SIZE : 0x1df027f
