Issue with using eDMA for CSI data transfer on imx rt1050

Hi,

I am trying to use the eDMA (for example DMA0) to tranfer CSI data to some specific data buffers in memory instead of using the 2 CSI DMA controllers but is having trouble with the transfer.

I setup the CSI config and eDMA config and transfer as follows

/* Set up the CSI */

CSI_Init(CSI, &csiConfig);

/* Set up the DMA & DMAMux */
DMAMUX_Init(DMAMUX);
DMAMUX_SetSource(DMAMUX, DMA_CSIRX_CHAN, kDmaRequestMuxCSI);
DMAMUX_EnableChannel(DMAMUX, DMA_CSIRX_CHAN);

EDMA_GetDefaultConfig(&edmaConfig);
EDMA_Init(DMA0, &edmaConfig);
EDMA_CreateHandle(&edmaRxHandle, DMA0, DMA_CSIRX_CHAN);
EDMA_SetCallback(&edmaRxHandle, EDMA_Callback, NULL);

/* Prepare and start EDMA transfer */
EDMA_PrepareTransfer(&transferConfig, (void *)CSI_RXFIFO_ADDR, sizeof(uint32_t), (void *)&customBuffer[buff_idx], sizeof(uint32_t), 32, BUFFER_LENGTH,kEDMA_PeripheralToMemory);

assert(EDMA_SubmitTransfer(&edmaRxHandle, &transferConfig) == kStatus_Success);
EDMA_EnableChannelInterrupts(edmaRxHandle.base, edmaRxHandle.channel,
kEDMA_MajorInterruptEnable);

EDMA_StartTransfer(&edmaRxHandle);

/* Enable CSI interrupt and CSI */

CSI_EnableInterrupts(CSI, kCSI_RxFifoFullInterruptEnable );

csiEnable(CSI); // just set the CSI enable bit in CSICR18

As a test, the CSI interface should send an incrementing pattern. However, when I inspect data the data that I received in the custom buffer, I see the custom buffer is filled, but the data is not the incrementing pattern. Instead there are only 2 unique words in the data.

Is something in my EDMA configuration that is set incorrectly?

Thanks,

Stephanie

Is using eDMA to get CSI data instead of DMA dedicated for CSI a supported feature?

Hi Kwan,

You could refer to the following application notes that provide examples of CSI usage on i.MX RT family:

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN12110.pdf

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN12103.pdf

Hope this will be useful for you.

Best regards!
