hello:

I use imx93evk mipi csi ,in Linux imx93evk 6.12.20-gdfaf2136deb2-dirty #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jul 16 11:22:55 CST 2025 aarch64 GNU/Linux, sensor is ar0521 , my device tree:

but media-ctl -p is error:

Added some log printing，in echo 'file drivers/staging/media/* +pflm' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control , thank you.

Hi @ranYang

You need to add the hs-clk-range parameter in mipi_csi_in follow your MIPI data rate.

Hi @pengyong_zhang

I add V4L2_CID_LINK_FREQ to slove it,The attachment is my new driver code，it modified based on the driver code of the kernel system. and I add in function ar0521_set_stream

ret = ar0521_write_reg(sensor, 0x30F8, 0x0031);

ret = ar0521_write_reg(sensor, 0x3046, 0x2608);

ret = ar0521_write_reg(sensor, 0x3048, 0x03FF); to Identify sensor exposure output normal waveform. According to manual RM00293 i.MX Linux Reference Manual ,Is it necessary to perform the following configuration ？

media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -l "'ar0521 2-0036':0 -> 'csidev-4ae00000.csi':0 [1]"
media-ctl -V "'csidev-4ae00000.csi':0 [fmt:SGRBG8_1X8/2592x1944 field:none colorspace:srgb]"
media-ctl -V "'crossbar':0 [fmt:SGRBG8_1X8/2592x1944 field:none colorspace:srgb]"
media-ctl -V '"mxc_isi.0":0 [fmt:SGRBG8_1X8/2592x1944 field:none colorspace:srgb]'
media-ctl -V '"mxc_isi.0":1 [fmt:SGRBG8_1X8/2592x1944 field:none colorspace:srgb]'

use “v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=2592,height=1944,pixelformat=GRBG --stream-mmap --stream-count=1” command

But I still haven't received the picture, please help analyze it. Print log information in attachment，I didn't see any obvious error，thank you
