Q: How to setup camera under Android? helping a customer (RTX) debug some issues with camera. They're using i.MX 6Solo and Android 13.4-GA on custom hardware. They added a new camera driver which seems to work when using small console capture program (no gui, no preview), so the route from camera to /dev/video0 seems to work. However, when they try to use camera from Android, entire system freezes. They located the crash to following line in ipu_common.c which basically enables camera CSI0: ipu_cm_write(ipu, reg | IPU_CONF_CSI0_EN, IPU_CONF); While investigating IPU setup, we noticed that CPMEM setup for IDMAC channel 0 is "off": ch 0 word 0 - 00000000 25800000 00000000 E0000000 00077C4F ch 0 word 1 - 01B086B0 00394EC0 0087C000 00009FC0 0000027F As seen from above, EBA0 points to 0x0D843580 and EBA1 to 0x0E53B000, which is in EIM memory space, not DDR memory space, which probably causes issues. We're not sure what could be causing this as camera driver doesn't provide any such address and mostly just handles communication to camera chip. But something gets off in Android framework and we could use any hints about what to look for. A: You can reference to the "i.MXAndroidR13.4GAAdvancedUserGuide.html" "3 Camera&Video Recorder customization" for how to change the camera in Android. Another thing needs be checked is the camera sensor driver, you can reference to "kernel_imx\drivers\media\video\mxc\capture\ov5642.c", "static struct v4l2_int_ioctl_desc ov5642_ioctl_desc", did you implemented the same v4l2_int_ioctl_desc functions? Customer HW is set up so that DDR memory space starts at 0x80000000. This causes problems in myandroid/hardware/imx/mx6/libcamera/CamerHAL.cpp when obtaining buffer addresses where camera should store data. GPU will only return OFFSET into 2GB memory space it can address, so it will return an address below 0x80000000. This needs to be adjusted before passing onto V4L2 when starting capturing.

In order to run the QT5 demos on i.MX6 you should follow the instructions on this link: Building QT for i.MX6 Some of the demos on the release such as  /examples/opengl/hellogl_es2,  consist of a group of multiple widgets appearing on the screen. Normally these demos should work OK in a windowed environment such as Wayland or X11. In the case of Linux only environment, the plugin that draws to the screen is called EGLFS. This plugin has the restriction that it only supports one single widget at a time on the screen surface. Then demos such as hellogl_es2 are *not intended* to work along with this plugin, and it will never work. The errors found when using EGLFS consist on: These issues can be seen in the Qt OpenGL examples.  "hellogl_es2" and "2dpaint" seem to display one rendered frame and then break --   "hellogl_es2" shows the QT word and bubbles, and the GUI is hidden, while  "2dpaint" just shows the openGL version without label. It seems that when including  a QGLWidget on a form, the QGLWidget would work OK, but the rest of the form would not appear. I couldn't click any buttons or do anything.   Along with these problems I would also see one or more of these error messages in the output:   * This plugin does not support setParent!   * This plugin does not support propagateSizeHints()   * QOpenGLContext::swapBuffers() called with non-opengl surface However other demos such as hellowindow work well with EGLFS because they are single widget.  Also all demos created with qtquick will work OK since all visual QML items are rendered as a single widget using the scene graph, a low-level, high-performance rendering stack, closely tied to OpenGL. This is better explained here: Qt5 QPainter vs. QML & Scene Graph.

SW: Linux 4.14.98_2.2.0 bsp release , gpu sdk 5.3.0 and patch in this doc HW: i.MX8QXP MEK board Inspired by the GIMP adjust color curve tool,  I write similar gui test code for i.MX8QXP gamma curve tuning. That is on display will show one linear curve first, use mouse to change any part of this curve, after that calculate value of point on changed curve , then pass related value to i.MX8QXP DPU gammcor unit , at last the display effect will be changed by DPU. When test code start up , will draw Y=X curve on display, that will from (0,0) to (500, 500) to (1023,1023). After you use mouse drag some part of the curve, will generated a new point (x_new, y_new) which is not on original Y=X curve. Then need draw a new curve that pass  through the (0,0) , (500, 500) , (x_new, y_new), (1023,1023).  That new curve , i choose to use Catmull-Rom Splines to get it. Use Catmull-Rom Splines for approximate a curve that pass through n point, then need n+2 control point. Extra 2 point could be selected as you want ,and they will affect the shape of the curve. Catmull-Rom Splines could pass through all control point, it is C1 continuity, no convex hull property. For example, there is four control point p0, p1 , p2 , p3,  to draw the curve pass through all of them, it could divide to segment p0 to p1 , segment p1 to p2 , segment p2 to p3. For segment p1 to p2 , select four control point as p0,p1, p2, p3, use Catmull-Rom Splines as below: For segment p0 to p1 , need use four control point as p0, p0, p1, p2: For segment p2 to p3, need use four control point as p1, p2, p3, p3: In this test code,  i will use gpu vertex shader to calculate each segment of curve, then use transform feedback to read back point value of each segment to cpu side, cpu side will pass related value to DPU gammcor unit for gamma tuning.   Test steps: Apply 8qxp_dpu_gammacor_4.14.98_2.2.0.diff on linux-imx for i.MX8QXP DPU device driver. Apply dpu_gamma_curve_gpusdk5.3.0.diff on imx-gpu-sdk for build this gui test code. Update the new kernel image, and copy test code to rootfs. Run any other application first to draw some thing on screen, for example  /usr/share/cinematicexperience-1.0/Qt5_CinematicExperience. Then run gui test code in this code, S01_SimpleTriangle_Wayland. Then there will show one linear curve on display , use mouse to change the curve as you like by put mouse cursor close to the curve, press the mouse button , drag it and release the mouse button, you will see the new curve on display , and also the display effect also be changed.

Overview i.MX6Dual/Quad and i.MX6DualLite supports 32-bit and 64-bit DDR3. Freescale i.MX6 SabreSD board deploys 64bit DDR3 and 64bit DDR3 script is delivered into Linux/Android Software release. This document introduces how to create i.MX6 32bit DDR script based on 64bit DDR script when deploying 32bit DDR on customized board. Changes Set the DSE field in the following iomux registers to 0 - disable unused IO pad to save power: IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_PAD_DRAM_SDQS4 IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_PAD_DRAM_SDQS5 IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_PAD_DRAM_SDQS6 IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_PAD_DRAM_SDQS7 IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_GRP_B4DS IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_GRP_B5DS IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_GRP_B6DS IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_GRP_B7DS IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_PAD_DRAM_DQM4 IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_PAD_DRAM_DQM5 IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_PAD_DRAM_DQM6 IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_PAD_DRAM_DQM7 Update MMDC registers to reflect 32bit DDR changes: MMDC0_MDASP: Update CS0_END if CS size is changed. MMDC0_MDCTL: set DSIZ to 32 bit MMDC1_MPODTCTRL: Set it as 0 and disable the odt of higher byte Follow "i.MX 6 Series DDR Calibration" Application note to calibrate DDR parameters. Reference One example about 32bit DDR script is located under uboot-imx git ( File: board/freescale/mx6q_sabresd/flash_header.S). Open it and you can see the following script: #if defined CONFIG_MX6DL_DDR3 #if defined CONFIG_DDR_32BIT ... #endif You can refer to it and create your 32bit DDR script.
