Hi,

I'm using i.MXRT1050 board in which i have MT9M114 camera connected to the camera connector, when i try to program the sdk example i'm getting this error 

ERROR: Could not connect to target.

Is there any jumpers to enable or anything else to do. It would be helpful if anyone respond to it ASAP.

Thank you

Hi @GaganaTN,

What SDK example are you using? Does this error happen with the example code only when connecting the camera module, or regardless of whether the camera module is connected or not? Does it happen when flashing other example codes as well, or only with this one?

BR,
Edwin.

Hi @EdwinHz ,

I'm trying to flash evkimrtx1050_csi_rgb565,  evkimrtx1050_csi_ccir656, and  evkimrtx1050_csi_raw8 examples and facing same issue with all the three. This is happening when the camera module is connected and also i have a doubt where in the datasheet of MT9M114 says its max voltage is 3.1v but in evkboard scheme the DCDC voltage is 3.3v for camera connector should we change it? and also in evkboard hardware usage guide it is given that 0V7725 can be integtated directly.

Regards,

Gagana

Hi @GaganaTN,

Yes, I would highly advice to adjust the operating voltage to the suggested value from the datasheet in order to ensure a proper functionality of the MT9M114.
