v4l2 capture: slave not found

mcergun — Sun, 02 Oct 2016 12:08:26 GMT

I am developing a driver for our custom in house sensor. The sensor only supports grayscale color formatting and I somehow managed to get CSI port start pumping data into /dev/video0.

But the problem is when I try to use V4L with say gstreamer command

gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2src num-buffers=1 device=/dev/video0 ! filesink location=/home/root/sample.raw

The answer is as below:

MT6415CA: ioctl_g_ifparm()
clock=mclk=40000000
MT6415CA: ioctl_g_fmt_cap()
MT6415CA: ioctl_s_power(2130787148, 1)
MT6415CA: ioctl_init()
MT6415CA: ioctl_dev_init()
Sending CMD = e1 to slave = 0a
Error Notifier: received but ignored 0
MT6415CA: ioctl_g_chip_indent()
MT6415CA: ioctl_s_power(2130787148, 0)
ERROR: v4l2 capture: slave not found!
Can't get caps from capture device, use the default setting.
Perhaps haven't capture device.

Most of the messages are my debug messages. I am making sure that I register my device with v4l2_int_device_register and result is not negative when the function is called within my _probe function.

I changed mxc_v4l_open in order to see which of the statement below returns true.

if(cam->sensor==NULL|| cam->sensor->type!=v4l2_int_type_slave)

and it seems cam->sensor is NULL and that's why mxc_v4l_open function prints slave not found message.

I am now digging to see where this struct is registered to see what's wrong. Any ideas are welcome.

Hi mert

please check gray camera bring-up steps on

https://community.freescale.com/message/309833#309833

https://community.freescale.com/message/331888

first please try with imx-test (.test/mxc_v4l2_test)

www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/imx-test-5.4.tar.gz

camera connections can be checked with Table 66. Camera Input Signal Cross

Hi Igor,

I checked the links you have posted, sadly most of them don't help to someone in my position as I am able to capture byte stream but not video stream. I can get bytes put into memory and see them with simple viewers such as 'cat'. The bytes and synchronization are not perfect but that'll have to do until I figure out how to get a "video data" out of those bytes.

Today I activated all debug messages and below is the result:

I still can't figure out why it closes the communication and tries to reopen it with wrong file pointer. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I forgot to add what those "debug1 2 3" variables are. They are added to check pointers to v4l2_int_device variables.

struct v4l2_int_device *debug1 = cam->sensor;
pr_info("v4l2_debug: in mxc_v4l_open, debug1 = %d\n", debug1);
struct v4l2_int_device **debug2 = cam->all_sensors;
pr_info("v4l2_debug: in mxc_v4l_open, debug2 = %d\n", debug2);
struct v4l2_int_device *debug3 = cam->self;
pr_info("v4l2_debug: in mxc_v4l_open, debug3 = %d\n", debug3);
pr_info("v4l2_debug: in mxc_v4l_open, debug21 = %d\n", *debug2);
pr_info("v4l2_debug: in mxc_v4l_open, debug22 = %d\n", *(debug2 + 1));

Hi mert

is imx-test working for you ?

Today I tried to compile it, but instructions were for ltib and I use Yocto. So I had no success at getting it compiled.

Re: v4l2 capture: slave not found

igorpadykov — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 11:18:57 GMT

it compiles fine with yocto too :

Good news Igor,

I found out that there is an image for imx-test tools and I compiled it with

bitbake imx-test

After running mxc_v4l2_capture.out and mxc_v4l2_still.out tests I am getting some data recorded in "still.yuv" and extensionless "64" files. Their hexdump shows somewhat sensible data to me.

I am still getting no slave error on bootup and gst-launch commands

Re: v4l2 capture: slave not found

please check sect.7.3.6 Video recording attached Linux Guide

and use L4.1.15

Pipeline launch string suggested in the document is similar to the one I use.

$GSTL imxv4l2src device=$DEVICE num-buffers=300 ! $INPUT_CAPS ! queue ! vpuenc_h264 ! $ $MUXER ! filesink location=output.$EXTENSION

Still, I tried that launch string with corresponding input caps (grayscale 64x64 30fps). No success yet, Slave not found error persists.

Also I'm on Freescale i.MX Release Distro 4.1.15-1.2.0

After converting file pointers to file paths in mxc_v4l_open() in mxc_v4l2_capture.c it seems that when I use gst-launch pipelines like

gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! fakesink

the system calls both /dev/video0 and /dev/video1, and since /dev/video1 is not populated, I get no slave found error. But that still does not solve my error. I should get a stream out of /dev/video0 in any case.

in general one should be able to specify the camera or video device number to use
as default when loading the mxc_v4l2_capture driver - this should be done by the
kernel module parameter 'video_nr':

modprobe mxc_v4l2_capture video_nr=1

Re: v4l2 capture: slave not found

mcergun — Fri, 07 Oct 2016 11:37:37 GMT

Changing video_nr parameter only changes starting number of the 2 channels. For example, if I write

modprobe mxc_v4l2_capture video_nr=1

I get /dev/video1 and /dev/video2, and if I write

modprobe mxc_v4l2_capture video_nr=5

I get /dev/video5 and /dev/video6.

Today I discovered imxv4l2src was returning some errors but since gst-debug-level was not high enough I was not aware of them. The errors are as below:

0:00:01.529042001 1105 0xcb7e80 ERROR imxv4l2 gstimxv4l2.c:1007:gst_imx_v4l2capture_set_function: can't identify capture sensor type.
0:00:01.529174667 1105 0xcb7e80 ERROR imxv4l2 gstimxv4l2.c:1152:gst_imx_v4l2_open_device: v4l2 capture set function failed.

If I can get a lead on why these errors are returned, I may be able to fix them.

Also I have another question. Right now I am using fsl-image-multimedia-full mage with mostly default settings with some extra installs. I can't seem to decipher bblayers well enough to make sure gstreamer-imx is included in the image as with its latest release. Since its last releases have some fixes for grayscale captures. Can you give some information about this, too?

I would suggest to check linux documentation (Freescale_Yocto_Project_User's_Guide.pdf)

http://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=L4.1.15_1.1.0_LINUX_DOCS&Parent_nodeId=1337699481071706174845&Parent_pageType…

Re: v4l2 capture: slave not found

mcergun — Sat, 08 Oct 2016 14:36:34 GMT

Replying to my own question; the errors mentioned are caused by some static string comparing inside imx-gstplugins.

#define MXC_V4L2_CAPTURE_NAME "mxc_v4l2"
#define MXC_V4L2_CAPTURE_CAMERA_NAME "ov"
#define MXC_V4L2_CAPTURE_TVIN_NAME "adv"
#define MXC_V4L2_CAPTURE_TVIN_VADC_NAME "vadc"
#define PXP_V4L2_CAPTURE_NAME "csi_v4l2"

if (!strncmp (chip.match.name, MXC_V4L2_CAPTURE_CAMERA_NAME, 2)) {
handle->dev_itf.v4l2capture_config = (V4l2captureConfig)gst_imx_v4l2capture_config_camera;
handle->support_format_table = g_camera_format_IPU;
} else if (!strncmp (chip.match.name, MXC_V4L2_CAPTURE_TVIN_NAME, 3)) {
handle->dev_itf.v4l2capture_config = (V4l2captureConfig)gst_imx_v4l2capture_config_camera;
handle->support_format_table = g_camera_format_IPU;
handle->is_tvin = TRUE;
if (gst_imx_v4l2capture_config_tvin_std (handle)) {
GST_ERROR ("can't set TV-In STD.\n");
return -1;
}
} else {
GST_ERROR ("can't identify capture sensor type.\n");
return -1;
}

So, module writes somehow had the weird idea that every capture device should be an omnivision made one, and every tvin device should be an adv made one.

Changed my camera name to "ovmt6415ca_camera" from "mt6415ca_camera" fixed those errors, but I still don't get a stream.

Re: v4l2 capture: slave not found

igorpadykov — Sun, 09 Oct 2016 10:18:04 GMT

probably reason is that imx-gst plugins do not support grayscale
as valid format, also IPU/VPU doesn't make bayer conversion and
recognize bayer as a valid image format.

IPU - bayer pattern conversion

After switching to gstreamer-imx instead of imx-gst plugins, I was able to capture some data, but mostly gibberish. I somehow screwed up my build directory and accidentally compiled it with NONGATED clock mode settings and VOILA, I was able to capture frames from the camera. Now the only problem is sometimes mxc_capture gets into an endless loop of mxc_camera_callback function with no way out. If I can figure that out, too, the capture path is done.
