RAW10 (SBGGR10) support in imx8qxp

wasim_nazir — Fri, 23 Aug 2019 01:16:18 GMT

Hi,

I am facing problem in getting proper data from camera (RAW10bit, 2lanes) using MIPI-CSI-0. In each pixel(16bits), 4-MSB bits are getting discarded.

Input & output formats of ISI is set to RAW10

Anyone else is facing the same issue with RAW10 format in imx8qxp? Any lead is appreciated.

Thanks

We tried using single data-lane but still the same issue.

Can anyone help?

Hello wasim,

Supported cameras and formats are described in AN12187 Quick Start Guide

for MINISASTOCSI for i.MX 8M Evaluation Kit

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN12187.pdf

It support raw10, t1he clocks are MIPI CSI host clocks, they are not related to external camera input signal.

The host can support 1, 2,3 and 4 lanes camera, so 1 lane camera can be supported. The lane number is set from device tree, "data-lanes = <1 2>;" means 2 lanes are used:

&mipi_csi_1 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
status = "okay";
port {
  mipi1_sensor_ep: endpoint1 {
   remote-endpoint = <&ov5640_mipi1_ep>;
   data-lanes = <1 2>;
  };

  csi1_mipi_ep: endpoint2 {
   remote-endpoint = <&csi1_ep>;
  };
};
};

Hi BioTICFSL,

Thanks for your reply.

Our SOC is 8QXP MEK and not 8M.

I have tried for both single lane and multi-lane. Our endpoint supports 2 lanes.

Any idea on the documentation of CSI2 Subsystem CSR registers.

Thanks

I think there is some confusion in the TRM(REV-E): i.MX 8DualX/8DualXPlus/8QuadXPlus Applications Processor Reference Manual

Statement 1:

The CSI data is right LSB aligned and zero padded depending
on data format. When interfacing ISI, CSI data is shifted 6-bits
due to ISI bits [5:0] always being zero
(0bxxCSIDATAxxxxxx). All RAW14, RAW12, RAW10,
RAW8, and RAW6 video data is filled from BIT[13] to LSB,
the remaining bits are zero padded. Only RAW16 input data
will be saved to memory from BIT[15] to LSB.

Statement 2:

001100b - RAW10 - 10-bit RAW data packed into 16-bit WORD with 6 LSBs waste bits

Found that statement 1 doesn't matches with statement 2.

Re: RAW10 (SBGGR10) support in imx8qxp

Bio_TICFSL — Tue, 10 Sep 2019 16:10:47 GMT

Statement 1 is right.

-----

If I receive a RAW10 stream, how data will be packed in memory after the ISI (shift + number of byte to be used to have the full data)?

MIPI subsystem RAW10 output format is {valid_data, 4’b0} . After right shift 4 bits, you will get the correct image.

-----

There is a mistake in the RM, I´ll ask to fixed. Thanks for the catch.

Regards

Hello, I have the same Problem with an imx8qxp on a ConnectCore8X Board from DIGI Embedded. I do use a Sony IMX327C with 2 lanes over the mipi_csi_0 channel.

In my case i have to set the CHNL_IMG_CTRL[0x04] Register to 0x0f000001 (RAW16 and CSC_BYP enabled) to obtain all bits of the image. When I set it to RAW10 I lose 4 MSBs and when I use RAW12 I lose 2 MSBs. As described above all bits are shiftet 4 bits left. I implemented the 4 bit right shift in software in my demo application. This is very slow but shows the correct image.

For me it looks like the CSI-2 Data formats layer isn't working properly.

My quest now is, how to solve this problem.

Is there a posibility that the isi and/or csi delivers not shiftet images?
How can I debug the data_out register (local interface) of the MIPI CSI-2 RX subsystem?
How should I right shift the image without losing the framerate?

@Bio_TICFSL
I am experiencing the same issue

Do you have any update on this issue with the CSI-2 data formats layer?

Re: RAW10 (SBGGR10) support in imx8qxp

pmliquify — Fri, 18 Jun 2021 12:56:29 GMT

Hi mz-fixposition,

up to now I don't have a perfect solution. If you correct the 4 bit shift while debayering the image you don't lose any framerate.

Hi,

I am using RGB888 format, Image is displaying in HDMI port but strips are adding in image, I am thinking some bits are missing. Please help us to resolve this Issue. I am getting Image as below.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi pmliquify,

I am trying to stream Monochrome camera Y10 in imx8qm facing the same issue like you. The Y10 data is left shifted by 4. did you had any solution for this?

Please help me if you have any.

Thanks and regards
