ERROR: v4l2 capture: mxc_v4l_read timeout counter 0 - IMX6Q - parallel CSI

Selea — Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:24:49 GMT

DEar,

I'm using a custom board with a custom sensor, with kernel 3.10.17_ga

I modified the DTS files to adapt to our hardware, and starting from the ov5640.c driver i wrote the driver for our sensor.

the probe is workink, the video dev is registered (ipu =1 csi =1 -> /dev/video2)... everything seems to be fine,

but when i try to cat /dev/video2 i have the error

ERROR: v4l2 capture: mxc_v4l_read timeout counter 0

imx-ipuv3 2800000.ipu: Not A CSI channel

cat: read error: Timer expired

I tried just to make an experiment to use a different ipu csi (0,0) , of course it will not work due to wrong pin but i have a timeout on read error and not the "not a CSI channel error"...

so i think i miss something in the dts file to connect ipu1,1 to vpu....

what coudl be wrong?

Thanks

Omar

I think i made some kind of error in IPU/CSI configuration:

I'm using ipu=1 CSI =1 in the dts

Now i tried t use the OV5640 (i'm using the OV5640 mipi board from boundary).

And I have the same error.... SO it should be not a problem of driver (already included and tested) or hardware (the probe is working...

but still I have the timeout error on mxc_v4l_read ("timeout counter 0")

Hi Selea,

I think you need to configure the interface and channel for your board, for example

linux-2.6-imx.git - Freescale i.MX Linux Tree

maybe i understood what you mean... I will try to add for my board... thanks

in my driver (took from OV5640) I did:

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

gpr = syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible("fsl,imx6q-iomuxc-gpr");

if (!IS_ERR(gpr)) {

	if (of_machine_is_compatible("fsl,imx6q")) {
		int mask = sensor->csi ? (1 << 20) : (1 << 19);

	if (sensor->csi != sensor->ipu_id) {
		pr_warning("%s: csi_id != ipu_id\n", __func__);
		return -ENODEV;
	}
	regmap_update_bits(gpr, IOMUXC_GPR1, mask, mask);
} else if (of_machine_is_compatible("fsl,imx6dl")) {
	int mask = sensor->csi ? (7 << 3) : (7 << 0);
	int val = sensor->csi ? (4 << 3) : (4 << 0);

		regmap_update_bits(gpr, IOMUXC_GPR13, mask, val);
	}

} else {

	pr_err("%s: failed to find fsl,imx6q-iomux-gpr regmap\n",
		__func__);

}

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Is the ERROR here probably... what do you think?

Sasamy — Fri, 06 Jun 2014 16:11:51 GMT

Omar, sorry,

I was wrong - I have not noticed that CSI is configured in the sensor driver and I see no error here.

csi_id = <1>;

int mask = sensor->csi ? (1 << 20) : (1 << 19);

IOMUXC_GPR1 --> 20 MIPI sensor to IPU-2 mux control --> 1 Enable parallel interface to IPU2 CSI1

I was wondering if the code portion you showed me is called anyway other then driver... so maybe it is overriding my settings....

ok the ov5640_mipi now is working... was a mistake in the ipucsi config in dts file... but still digging on my Ar0134 (parallel) sensor capture

in my hardware should be captured on IPU2...

Re: ERROR: v4l2 capture: mxc_v4l_read timeout counter 0 - IMX6Q - parallel CSI

Selea — Tue, 10 Jun 2014 15:05:49 GMT

I have question on a couple of register:

IOMUXC_GPR1 in this bit i configure if mipi or parallel goes to CSI in my hardware bit20 =1 because i'm using the parallel CSI1 to IPU2 (see Sasamy answer above)

but I have also IPU2_CONF register where some bits confuse me (bit 29 and bit 31) seem to be a duplicate.... where , when and what I have to configure (if I had to this second register IPU specific?)

thanks

where are defined the register of IPU (IPU2_CONF etc..)...

i think ihave to configure the input of IPU2 from CSI1 doing something like that:

	if(sensor->csi==1)
	{
	val= (1<<20) ;
	ipur = syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdevname("ipu2");
	if (!IS_ERR(ipur))
	{
	regmap_update_bits(ipur, IPU2_CONF, 0xA0000000, 0x80000000);
	}
	else
	{
	pr_err("%s: ipu2 not found\n", __func__);
	}
	}

I'm not able to find the definition of IPU2_CONF ..... I made the name so probably is different.. but somewhere should be defined the registers to configure the IPU...

Selea — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:48:27 GMT

what do you think to add something like that:

	ipur = ipu_get_soc(sensor->ipu_id);
	ipu_enable_csi(ipur, sensor->csi);

HI，Omar Pighi

I‘m using imx6q and ov5640 too，can you tell me how did you slove the poblem。

thanks

I am having the same issue with the ov5640_mipi module on sabresd Quad board. Relevant DTS entries are shown below. I am building as-per L5.0.0_1.0.0 BSP instructions and I am seeing:

Omar: What was your solution?
