In defaut Linux BSP, NXP implemented LVDS to HDMI(it6263) and MIPI-DSI to HDMI(adv7535) bridge chip drivers. And these drivers need read the EDID from display, then apply the timing parameters to DRM driver. But for the use case that bridge chip -> Serializer -> Deserializer -> LCD Panel use case, there is no EDID. The attached are reference patches for such use case, it combined the bridge chip to panel directly, and no EDID is needed. The patches are tested on iMX8QXP MEK with bridge chip + panel mode, both of them can see the fb0 device under /sys/class/graphics/ folder, also can see card under  /sys/class/drm/. Display works fine with DTS selected 720P panel mode. [2020-06-24]: Add patches for L4.14.98 kernel: Android_Auto_P9.0.0_GA2.1.0_Kernel_No_EDID_IT6263.patch L4.14.98-iMX8QXP-MEK-ADV7535-MIPI-DSI-to-HDMI-bridge-chip-com.patch

Host Environment: ubuntu 16.04 LTS Linux BSP For i.MX : version 4.9.88 The document has 5 main contents: 1. Compiling core-image-base in Yocto BSP --Copy u-boot source code to a new directory --Copy linux kernel source code to a new directory 2. Exporting 4.9.88 toolchain from Freescale Yocto BSP (1) Using MACHINE=imx7dsabresd to export the toolchain (2) Using MACHINE=imx6qsabresd to export the toolchain. Actually above 2 are the same toolchain after exporting. Here , only show any one of boards(not ARM64) can be used for MACHINE. So users only need to export it for one time, select (1) or (2) to export toolchain. (3) Using MACHINE=imx8mqevk to export ARM64 toolchain 3. Compling u-boot & linux kernel under Stanalone iMX7DSabreSD --Compiling  u-boot for imx7dsabresd --Compiling kernel and dtb for imx7dsabresd iMX8MQEVK --Compiling u-boot for imx8mqevk --Compiling kernel and dtb for imx8mqevk 4. Compiling OS Firmware for i.MX7DSabreSD board --u-boot for mfg tools --kernel and dtb for mfg tools 5. Copy OS Firmware to the related path of MFG tools --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Content of Document] 1. Compiling core-image-base in Yocto BSP          After repo syn is done according to “i.MX_Yocto_Project_User's_Guide.pdf”, Use the command to compile linux BSP, u-boot & kernel source code will be released. # DISTRO=fsl-imx-fb MACHINE=imx7dsabresd source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-fb # bitbake core-image-base          After compiling is done, u-boot & linux kernel source code is in the path below: u-boot: ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build-fb/tmp/work/imx7dsabresd-poky-linux-gnueabi/u-boot-imx/2017.03-r0/git linux: ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build-fb/tmp/work/imx7dsabresd-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-imx/4.9.88-r0/git          We can create a new directory for uboot and linux kernel source code. Here I created a directory named disk2. # cd ~/ # mkdir disk2 # cd disk2 # mkdir u-boot-2017-03 # mkdir linux-imx-4.9.88 --Copy u-boot source code to a new directory # cd ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build-fb/tmp/work/imx7dsabresd-poky-linux-gnueabi/u-boot-imx/2017.03-r0/git # cp –r ./* ~/disk2/u-boot-2017-03 --Copy linux kernel source code to a new directory # cd ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build-fb/tmp/work/imx7dsabresd-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-imx/4.9.88-r0/git # cp –r ./* ~/disk2/ linux-imx-4.9.88 2. Exporting 4.9.88 toolchain from Freescale Yocto BSP (1) Using MACHINE=imx7dsabresd to export the toolchain Step1: # cd ~/imx-yocto-bsp/ # DISTRO=fsl-imx-fb MACHINE=imx7dsabresd source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-minimal … … Do you accept the EULA you just read? (y/n)  y EULA has been accepted. Welcome to Freescale Community BSP The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about OE including a reference manual which can be found at:     http://yoctoproject.org/documentation For more information about OpenEmbedded see their website:     http://www.openembedded.org/ You can now run 'bitbake <target>' Common targets are:     core-image-minimal     meta-toolchain     meta-toolchain-sdk     adt-installer     meta-ide-support Your build environment has been configured with:     MACHINE=imx7dsabresd     SDKMACHINE=i686     DISTRO=fsl-imx-fb     EULA= BSPDIR= BUILD_DIR=. meta-freescale directory found Here “build-minimal” is a directory for compiling source code, users can also set it other name. In ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build-minimal, Begin to export toolchain with the command. Step2: # DISTRO=fsl-imx-fb MACHINE=imx7dsabresd bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk [Comment-1] About DISTRO and MACHINE on above 2 commands MACHINE can be set the values below. imx6qpsabreauto imx6qpsabresd imx6ulevk imx6ull14x14evk imx6ull9x9evk imx6dlsabreauto imx6dlsabresd imx6qsabreauto imx6qsabresd imx6slevk imx6solosabreauto imx6solosabresd imx6sxsabresd imx6sxsabreauto imx6sllevk imx7dsabresd imx7ulpevk imx8mqevk   So MACHINE’s value is the name each Evaluation Borad. DISTRO can be set the values below: fsl-imx-x11 - X11 graphics are not supported on i.MX 8. fsl-imx-wayland - Wayland weston graphics. fsl-imx-xwayland - Wayland graphics and X11. X11 applications using EGL are not supported. fsl-imx-fb - Frame Buffer graphics - no X11 or Wayland. Frame Buffer is not supported on i.MX 8 bitbake rootfs type       core-image-minimal       core-image-base       core-image-sato       fsl-image-machine-test       fsl-image-validation-imx       fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx Below is the detailed description for above rootfs type: [Comment-2] Descriptions on difference of toolchain between i.MX6/7 and i.MX8MQ          i.MX6 and i.MX7 are both 32bit ARM processor, they use the same toolchain.          i.MX8MQ is 64bit ARM processor, so it’s toolchain is different from that of i.MX6/7. Setp 3:          After above compiling is done, enter into ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build-minimal/tmp/deploy/sdk # cd ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build-minimal/tmp/deploy/sdk # ls Run .sh file: Then continue operations according to guidance: Done: OK, Let us check /opt/fsl-imx-fb/ directory: # ls /opt/fsl-imx-fb/4.9.88-2.0.0/          Because we used MACHINE=imx7dsabresd, environment was named “cortex-A7”, compiler’s version is still 4.9.88. (2) Using MACHINE=imx6qsabresd to export the toolchain.          We can change “MACHINE=imx6qsabresd” and repeat above 3 steps, environment will be named “cortex-A9”.          Close the current terminal, and open a new one. # cd ~/ imx-yocto-bsp # DISTRO=fsl-imx-fb MACHINE=imx6qsabresd source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-A9-min            Then automatically enter “~/imx-yocto-bsp/build-A9-min”, run command below. # DISTRO=fsl-imx-fb MACHINE=imx6qsabresd bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk # ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build-A9-min/tmp/deploy/sdk # ls # ./ fsl-imx-fb-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-cortexa9hf-neon-toolchain-4.9.88-2.0.0.sh   Set it up in another directory: /opt/fsl-imx-fb/4.9.88 (3) Using MACHINE=imx8mqevk to export ARM64 toolchain          Export Toolchain for i.MX8MQ, create a new terminal, then run these 2 commands below. # ~/imx-yocto-bsp # DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland MACHINE=imx8mqevk source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-xwayland # DISTRO=fsl-imx-fb MACHINE=imx8mqevk bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk Done.          Copy the toolchain to /opt/fsl-imx-fb directory # cd ~/imx-yocto-bsp/build-xwayland/tmp/deploy/sdk # ls #./fsl-imx-fb-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-aarch64-toolchain-4.9.88-2.0.0.sh          I installed it to a new directory: /opt/fsl-imx-fb/4.9.88-arm64 #ls ls /opt/fsl-imx-fb/4.9.88-arm64/  OK, 64bit toolchain for i.MX8MQ has been exported to the directory. 3. Compling u-boot & linux kernel under Stanalone iMX7DSabreSD --Compiling  u-boot for imx7dsabresd # cd ~/disk2/u-boot-2017-03 # source /opt/fsl-imx-fb/4.9.88-2.0.0/environment-setup-cortexa7hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi # export ARCH=arm # make clean # make mx7dsabresd_defconfig # make u-boot.imx Done. --Compiling kernel and dtb for imx7dsabresd # cd ~/disk2/linux-imx-4.9.88/ [comment] If environment has been configured, that is, these 2 commands have been run on the current terminal, don’t need to run them again. “source /opt/fsl-imx-fb/4.9.88-2.0.0/environment-setup-cortexa7hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi” and “export ARCH=arm” # make clean # make imx_v7_defconfig # make            zImage is in “~/disk2/linux-imx-4.9.88/arch/arm/boot”          dtb is in “~/disk2/linux-imx-4.9.88/arch/arm/boot/dts”            Probably users want to run “make menuconfig”, and meet the errors like below. # sudo apt-get install libncurses*  (To solve the problem below) # make menuconfig [Comment-3]  Users can also use "environment-setup-cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi" to compile u-boot and kernel. iMX8MQEVK --Compiling u-boot for imx8mqevk # cd ~/disk2/u-boot-2017-03 # source /opt/fsl-imx-fb/4.9.88-arm64/environment-setup-aarch64-poky-linux # export ARCH=arm64 # make clean # make imx8mq_evk_defconfig # make u-boot.imx Done. --Compiling kernel and dtb for imx8mqevk # cd ~/disk2/linux-imx-4.9.88/ [comment] If environment has been configured, that is, these 2 commands have been run on the current terminal, don’t need to run them again. “source /opt/fsl-imx-fb/4.9.88-arm64/environment-setup-aarch64-poky-linux” and “export ARCH=arm64” # make clean # make defconfig # make          Run the command to unset LDFLAGS: # unset LDFLAGS # make Done. 4. Compiling OS Firmware for i.MX7DSabreSD board --u-boot for mfg tools # make mx7dsabresd_config # make u-boot.imx          Then rename u-boot.imx to be “u-boot-mx7dsabresd-mfg.imx”. --kernel and dtb for mfg tools          Copy imx_v7_mfg_defconfig file to “arch/arm/configs”, then run commands below. # make imx_v7_mfg_defconfig # make          zImage will be generated at path arch/arm/boot.          dtb file will be generated at path arch/arm/boot/dts            Then rename zImage to be zImage-mx7dsabre-mfg,          Rename imx7d-sdb.dtb to be zImage-imx7d-sdb-mfg.dtb 5. Copy OS Firmware to the related path of MFG tools          Up to now, 3 files for OS Firmware has been generated, then copy these 3 files to mfgtools\Profiles\Linux\OS Firmware\firmware            When MFG Tools begins to run, these 3 files and ramdisk will be downloaded to SDRAM on board, then run them, and download images(u-boot\kernel\rootfs\)  which have been ready in  “mfgtools\Profiles\Linux\OS Firmware\files”.            Above steps and commands will be performed according to list in ucl2.xml. So customer will add a new list for her downloading or change an existing list according to image’s name. NXP TIC team Weidong Sun 04-25-2019

This documents describes how to add the NFC support to i.MX8M mini evk running Yocto. Hardware setup: The i.MX8M mini evk (see i.MX 8M Mini Evaluation Kit | NXP) featuring Raspberry Pi compliant connector, the OM5578/RPI PN7150 demo kit can be used to perform this porting (see NFC Development Kits for Arduino and more|NXP). However a small modification must be done because some of the signals required by PN7150 are not mapped to i.MX8M mini expansion connector pins. OM5578 IRQ signal must be mapped to Raspberry Pi connector pin #19 and OM5578 IRQ signal must be mapped to Raspberry Pi connector pin #21. See below a picture of the modification: Then, the two boards can fit together as shown in the picture below: Quick start using demo image: The demo image including support for PN7150, is based on i.MX Linux 4.14.78_1.0.0 BSP software release (see i.MX Software | NXP). Related documentation can be downloaded from here: https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=L4.14.78_1.0.0_LINUX_DOCS. Just flash the demo image (downloaded from here: https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/updates/NFC/LINUX_L4-14-78_IMAGE_MX8MMEVK.zip) following guidelines from i.MX_Linux_User's_Guide document (part of L4.14.78_1.0.0_LINUX Documentation package mentioned above). Then in a terminal you can run the demo application included in the image executing the command:    # nfcDemoApp poll Approaching the NFC tag, provided as reference in the OM5578 demo kit, to the NFC Antenna will trigger such display: Adding PN7150 support to imx-linux-sumo release: Pre-condition is to have L4.14.78_1.0.0 release installed and already built as described in i.MX Yocto Project User's Guide (part of L4.14.78_1.0.0_LINUX Documentation package mentioned above) :     $ repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest  -b imx-linux-sumo -m imx-4.14.78-1.0.0_ga.xml     $ repo sync     $ MACHINE=imx8mmevk DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build_dir     $ bitbake fsl-image-validation-imx Then to add PN7150 support to your imx-linux-sumo environment, follow below step by step guidelines: In the sources directory, download the meta-nxp-nfc layer from https://github.com/NXPNFCLinux/meta-nxp-nfc     $ git clone https://github.com/NXPNFCLinux/meta-nxp-nfc.git  Define hardware connection between CPU and PN7150 in device-tree adding the following lines to file build_dir/tmp/work-shared/imx8mmevk/kernel-source/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-imx8mm-evk.dts: @@ -227,6 +227,8 @@                         fsl,pins = <                                 MX8MM_IOMUXC_I2C3_SCL_I2C3_SCL                  0x400001c3                                 MX8MM_IOMUXC_I2C3_SDA_I2C3_SDA                  0x400001c3 +                               MX8MM_IOMUXC_ECSPI2_MOSI_GPIO5_IO11             0x41 +                               MX8MM_IOMUXC_ECSPI2_MISO_GPIO5_IO12             0x41                         >;                 };   @@ -747,6 +749,13 @@         pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_i2c3>;         status = "okay";   +       pn54x: pn54x@28 { +               compatible ="nxp,pn547"; +               reg = <0x28>; +               interrupt-gpios = <&gpio5 11 0>; +               enable-gpios = <&gpio5 12 0>; +       }; +         pca6416: gpio@20 {                 compatible = "ti,tca6416";                 reg = <0x20>; Add the meta-nxp-nfc layer to the build definition updating file build_dir/conf/bblayers.conf with: BBLAYERS += " ${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-nxp-nfc" Add the meta-nxp-nfc layer components to the image definition updating file build_dir/conf/local.conf with: IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " kernel-module-nxp-pn5xx nxp-nfc-bin " Re-build the linux kernel:     $ bitbake -f -c compile linux-imx && bitbake -f -c deploy linux-imx Build meta-nxp-nfc layer:     $ bitbake nxp-nfc Re-build the complete image to include the modifications:     $ bitbake fsl-image-validation-imx Then you can flash the updated image to your i.MX8M mini evk and run the demo application as described in above "Quick start using demo image" chapter.

Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) is a specification that prescribes a set of low-level routines for performing common linear algebra operations such as vector addition, scalar multiplication, dot products, linear combinations, and matrix multiplication. OpenBLAS is an optimized BLAS library which is uesd for deep learning accelerator in Caffe/Caffe2. I enable it in Yocto (Rocko) by adding bb file. And I build on i.MX6QP, i.MX7ULP and i.MX8MQ and also run its test example successfully. You can find test example(openblas_utest) under folder image/opt/openblas/bin of OpenBLAS work directory. Currently, version 0.3.0 is supported in the bb file. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ update to v 0.3.6 and enable mutli-thread by set USE_OPENMP=1 and USE_THREAD=4 when compiling this library.

meta-avs-demos Yocto layer meta-avs-demos is a Yocto meta layer (complementary to the NXP BSP release for i.MX) published on CodeAurora that includes the additional required packages to support  Amazon's Alexa Voice Services SDK (AVS_SDK) applications. The build procedure is the described on the README.md of the corresponding branch. We have 2 fuctional branches now: imx-alexa-sdk: Support for Morty based i.mx releases imx7d-pico-avs-sdk_4.1.15-1.0.0: legacy support for Jethro releases The master branch is only used to collect manifest files, that used with repo init/sync commands will fetch the whole environment for the 2 special supported boards: i.MX7D Pico Pi and i.MX8M EVK. However the meta-avs-demos can be used with any i.MX board either. Recipes to include Amazon's Alexa Voice Services in your applications. The meta-avs-demos provides the required recipes to build an i.MX image with the support for running Alexa SDK. The imx-alexa-sdk branch is based on Morty and kernel 4.9.X and it supports the next builds: i.MX7D Pico Pi i.MX8M EVK Generic i.MX board For the i.MX7D Pico Pi and i.MX8M EVK there is an extended support for additional (external) Sound Cards like: TechNexion VoiceHat: 2Mic Array board with DSPConcepts SW support Synaptics Card: 2 Mic with Sensory WakeWord support The Generic i.MX is for any other regular i.MX board supported on the official NXP BSP releases. Only the default soundcard (embedded) on the board is supported. Sensory wakeword is currently only enabled for those with ARMV7 architecture. To support any external board like the VoiceHat or Synaptics is up to the user to include the additional patches/changes required. Build Instructions Follow the corresponding README file to follow the steps to build an image with Alexa SDK support README-IMX7D-PICOPI.md README-IMX8M-EVK.md README-IMX-GENERIC.md

Host TFTP and NFS Configuration Now configure the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server and Networked File System (NFS) server. U-Boot will download the Linux kernel and dtb file using tftp and then the kernel will mount (via NFS) its root file system on the computer hard drive. 1. TFTP Setup   1.1.1 Prepare the TFTP Service   Get the required software if not already set up. On host for TFTP: Install TFTP on Host $ sudo apt-get install tftpd-hpa   (Note: There are a number of examples in various forums, etc, of how to automatically start the TFTP service - but not all are successful on all Linux distro's it seems! The following may work for you.)   Start the tftpd-hpa service automatically by adding a command to /etc/rc.local. $ vi /etc/rc.local   Now, just before the exit 0 line edit below command then Save and Exit. $ service tftpd-hpa start  Now, To control the TFTP service from the command line use: $ service tftpd-hpa restart    To check the status of the TFTP service from the command line use: $ service tftpd-hpa status   1.1.1 Setup the TFTP Directories Now, we have to create the directory which will contain the kernel image and the device tree blob file. $ mkdir -p /imx-boot/imx6q-sabre/tftp Then, copy the kernel image and the device tree blob file in this directory. $ cp {YOCTO_BUILD_DIR}/tmp/deploy/images/{TARGET}/zImage /imx-boot/imx6q-sabre/tftp $ cp {YOCTO_BUILD_DIR}/tmp/deploy/images/{TARGET}/<dtb file> /imx-boot/imx6q-sabre/tftp   OR we can use the default directory created by yocto {YOCTO_BUILD_DIR}/tmp/deploy/images/{TARGET}/ The tftpd-hpa service looks for requested files under /imx-boot/imx6q-sabre/tftp The default tftpd-hpa directory may vary with distribution/release, but it is specified in the configuration file: /etc/default/tfptd-hpa. We have to change this default directory with our directory   Edit default tftp directory $ vi /etc/default/tftpd-hpa   Now, change the directory defined as TFTP_DIRECTORY with your host system directory which contains kernel and device tree blob file. Using created directory TFTP_DIRECTORY=”/imx-boot/imx6q-sabre/tftp” OR Using Yocto directory path TFTP_DIRECTORY=”{YOCTO_BUILD_DIR}/tmp/deploy/images/{TARGET}” Restart the TFTP service if required $ service tftpd-hpa restart   1.2 NFS Setup 1.2.1 Prepare the NFS Service Get the required software if not already set up. On host for NFS: Install NFS on Host $ sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server The NFS service starts automatically. To control NFS services : $ service nfs-kernel-server restart To check the status of the NFS service from the command line : $ service nfs-kernel-server status 1.2.2 Setup the NFS Directories Now, we have to create the directory which will contain the root file system. $ mkdir -p /imx-boot/imx6q-sabre/nfs   Then, copy the rootfs in this directory. $ cp -R {YOCTO_BUILD_DIR}/tmp/work/{TARGET}-poky-linux-gnueabi/{IMAGE}/1.0-r0/rootfs/* /imx-boot/imx6q-sabre/nfs   OR we can use the default directory created by yocto. $ {YOCTO_BUILD_DIR}/tmp/work/{TARGET}-poky-linux-gnueabi/{IMAGE}/1.0-r0/rootfs 1.2.3 Update NFS Export File The NFS server requires /etc/exports to be configured correctly to access NFS filesystem directory to specific hosts. $ vi /etc/exports Then, edit below line into the opened file. <”YOUR NFS DIRECTORY”> <YOUR BOARD IP>(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) Ex. If you created custom directory for NFS then, /imx-boot/imx6q-sabre/nfs <YOUR BOARD IP>(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) Ex: /imx-boot/imx6q-sabre/nfs 192.168.*.*(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) OR /{YOCTO_BUILD_DIR}/tmp/work/{TARGET}-poky-linux-gnueabi/{IMAGE}/1.0-r0/rootfs <YOUR BOARD IP>(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)   Now, we need to restart the NFS service. $ service nfs-kernel-server restart   2 Target Setup   We need to set up the network IP address of our target. Power On the board and hit a key to stop the U-Boot from continuing. Set the below parameters, setenv serverip 192.168.0.206       //This must be your Host IP address The path where the rootfs is placed in our host has to be indicated in the U-Boot, Ex. // if you choose default folder created by YOCTO setenv nfsroot /{YOCTO_BUILD_DIR}/tmp/work/{TARGET}-poky-linux-gnueabi/{IMAGE}/1.0-r0/rootfs   OR // if you create custom directory for NFS setenv nfsroot /imx-boot/imx6q-sabre/nfs Now, we have to set kernel image name and device tree blob file name in the u-boot, setenv image < zImage name > setenv fdt_file <dtb file name on host> Now, set the bootargs for the kernel boot, setenv netargs 'setenv bootargs console=${console},${baudrate} ${smp} root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp nfsroot=${serverip}:${nfsroot},v3,tcp' Use printenv command and check loadaddr and fdt_addr environment variables variables for I.MX6Q SABRE, loadaddr=0x12000000 fdt_addr=0x18000000   Also, check netboot environment variable. It should be like below, netboot=echo Booting from net ...; run netargs; if test ${ip_dyn} = yes; then setenv get_cmd dhcp; else setenv get_cmd tftp; fi; ${get_cmd} ${image}; if test ${boot_fdt} = yes || test ${boot_fdt} = try; then if ${get_cmd} ${fdt_addr} ${fdt_file}; then bootz ${loadaddr} - ${fdt_addr}; else if test ${boot_fdt} = try; then bootz; else echo WARN: Cannot load the DT; fi; fi; else bootz; fi; Now, set environment variable bootcmd to boot every time from the network, setenv bootcmd run netboot Now finally save those variable in u-boot: saveenv Reset your board; it should now boot from the network: U-Boot 2016.03-imx_v2016.03_4.1.15_2.0.0_ga+ga57b13b (Apr 17 2018 - 17:13:43 +0530)  (..)

iMX6DQ TP2854 MIPI CSI2 720P HD-TVI camera surround view solution for Linux BSP.   For iMX6DQ, there are two IPUs, so they can support up to 4 cameras at the same time. But the default BSP can only support up to two cameras at the same time. The attached patch can make the BSP support up to 4 cameras based on 3.14.52 GA 1.1.0 BSP and 4.1.15 GA1.2.0 BSP. The 4 cameras can be: - 1xCSI, 3xMIPI - 2xCSI, 2xMIPI - 4xMIPI For 4xMIPI case, the four cameras should be combined on the single MIPI CSI2 interface, and each camera data should be transfered on a mipi virtual channel. In this patch, we given the example driver for Techpoint TP2854, it was verified working on iMX6DQ SabreAuto board. The input to TP2854 is four 720P30 HD-TVI cameras.   The MIPI CSI2 720P digital camera surround view solution can be found at: iMX6DQ MAX9286 MIPI CSI2 720P camera surround view solution for Linux BSP   The kernel patches: 0001-IPU-update-IPU-capture-driver-to-support-up-to-four-.patch      Updated IPU common code to support up to four cameras.   0002-Remove-the-page-size-align-requirement-for-v4l2-capt.patch      With this patch, the mxc_v4l2_tvin test application can use overlay framebuffer as V4l2 capture buffer directly.   0003-Add-TP2854-support-on-SabreAuto-board-which-can-supp.patch      TP2854 driver.   How to builld the kernel with TP2854 support:       make imx_v7_defconfig       make menuconfig (In this command, you should select the TP2854 driver:             Device Drivers  --->                   <*> Multimedia support  --->                         [*]   V4L platform devices  --->                               <*>   MXC Video For Linux Video Capture                                       MXC Camera/V4L2 PRP Features support  --->                                           <*>Techpoint tp2854 HD CVBS Input support                                           <*>mxc VADC support                                           <*>Select Overlay Rounting (Queue ipu device for overlay library)                                           <*>Pre-processor Encoder library                                           <*>IPU CSI Encoder library)       make zImage       make dtbs   The built out image file:       arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-sabreauto.dtb       arch/arm/boot/zImage "mxc_v4l2_tvin_3.14.52.zip" is the test application, test command to capture the four cameras and render on 1080P HDMI display: /mxc_v4l2_tvin.out -ol 0 -ot 0 -ow 960 -oh 540 -d 1 -x 0 -g2d & /mxc_v4l2_tvin.out -ol 960 -ot 0 -ow 960 -oh 540 -d 1 -x 1 -g2d & /mxc_v4l2_tvin.out -ol 0 -ot 540 -ow 960 -oh 540 -d 1 -x 2 -g2d & /mxc_v4l2_tvin.out -ol 960 -ot 540 -ow 960 -oh 540 -d 1 -x 3 -g2d & Details for TP2854, please contact with Techpoint.
