GUI Guider version: 1.6.x, 1.7.x, 1.8x LVGL version: v8.x.x Host software requirements: Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04 or Debian 12 Hardware requirements: Evaluation Kit for the i.MX 93 Applications Processor. (i.MX 93 Evaluation Kit | NXP Semiconductors) On this guide we will use the IMX-MIPI-HDMI accessory board to connect the iMX93 with a HDMI Monitor. (IMX-MIPI-HDMI Product Information|NXP) This board is usually provided with the iMX8M Mini and the iMX8M Nano.  Steps: 1. Copy your project from the folder GUI-Guider-Projects to your Linux PC.  2. Build an image for iMX93 using The Yocto Project.    a. Based on iMX Yocto Porject Users Guide set directories and download the repo $ mkdir imx-bsp-6.1.1-1.0.0 $ cd imx-bsp-6.1.1-1.0.0 $ repo init -u https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-langdale -m imx-6.1.1-1.0.0.xml $ repo sync Use distro fsl-imx-xwayland and select machine imx93evk and use this commnad with a build folder name: $ MACHINE=imx93evk DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland source ./imx-setup-release.sh - b bld-imx93evk b. Use bitbake command to start the build process. Also, add the -c populate_sdk to get the toolchain. $ bitbake imx-image-multimedia -c populate_sdk  c. Install the Yocto toolchain located on <build-folder>/tmp/deploy/sdk/.  $ sudo sh ./fsl-imx-xwayland-glibc-x86_64-imx-image-multimedia-armv8a-imx93evk-toolchain-6.1-langdale.sh d. Install ninja utility on the build host $ sudo apt install ninja-build e. For Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.04, copy the lv_conf.h file from lvgl-simulator to lvgl $ cp lvgl-simulator/lv_conf.h lvgl/ f. Change the interpreter on build.sh from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash. This is an important step! g. Then, enter to linux folder and use the following commands to make build.sh executable $ dos2unix build.sh $ chmod +x build.sh h. Execute the build.sh $ ./build.sh i. Copy the binary to the iMX93 using a USB or SCP.  2. On the target iMX93 follow these steps. a. On Uboot, use fatls interface device:partition fatls mmc 0:1 (Device 0 : Partition 1) With this command, we will be able to list device tree files. => fatls mmc 0:1 b. Select imx93-11x11-evk-rm67199.dtb and use the command editenv fdtfile  => editenv fdtfile Output example edit: imx93-11x11-evk-rm67199.dtb c. In edit command line put the selected device tree .dtb d. Use saveenv command to save environment and continue with the boot process. e. Finally, run the GUI Application $ ./gui_guider&   I hope this article will be helpful. Best regards, Brian.

Introduction ARM SoC+FPGA/CPLD is widely used in some application like industry control and data acquisition system, there were many customers adopted i.MX6 EIM (a memory parallel interface) to access FPGA/CPLD, and archived good data throughput, but EIM is removed from i.MX8M and i.MX9, some customers is asking for such a compatible solution for i.MX8/8M and coming i.MX9 family.  FlexSPI is designed for connecting storage devices like NOR Flash, integrated in most of i.MXRT/i.MX8/LS products and provides flexible configuration for 4-wire/8wire working mode, this article provides a low-cost and efficiency demo to show how  to support CPLD/FPGA  via FlexSPI, as a replacement of EIM for EP i.MX8/9/LS products. key features Implement a  new kernel driver for FlexSPI to support read/write access to FPGA/CPLD. Support two type connections: Support 4-wire(QSPI) and 8-wire(HypeBUS, OctalSPI) Deliverables A new kernel driver for FlexSPI to support read/write access to FPGA/CPLD by AHB command A kernel patch to disable the QSPI Flash in kernel A test program shows how to do read/write performance test. Hardware Hardware Prepare: i.MX8MM-LPDDR4-EVK Lattice LFE5U EVK Figure1 4-wire SPI HW Block diagram Figure2 8-wire OctalSPI   Hardware Rework on i.MX8MM-EVK     1 Need to remove the SPI-Flash(U5, MT25QU256ABA) on the i.MX8MM-EVK board, and wire below signals: QSPI_DATA0 QSPI_DATA1 QSPI_DATA2 QSPI_DATA3 QSPI_SCLK QSPI_nSS0 VDD_1V8 GND Figure3 QPSI signals for FPGA/CPLD Figure4 Hardware rework on i.MX8MM-EVK board Note that, i.MX8MM-EVK QSPI power rails is 1.8v, so be careful that the FPGA/CPLD side IO should be 1.8V. Software BSP version 1 Linux BSP version: L5.10.52 Software Change  Apply 0001-FlexSPI-FPGA-need-to-disable-flexspi-for-fpga-usage.patch in Linux kernel and generate the new dtb extract the flexspi-fpga driver compile the flexspi-fpga driver with the kernel$ $make -C $(YOUR_KDIR) M=$(FlexSPI_FPGAW_DIVER_DIR) modules ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=$(CROSS_COMPILE) Deployment  upload new generated i.mx8mm-evk.dtb to the target board(the 1st partition) upload the flex-spi driver and fpga/cpld test program to the target board   Test Test1: Set the flexspi working at 40Mhz   $insmod imx_flexspi_fpga.ko pre_div=2 post_div=5 Read/write FPGA/CPLD test .$/flexspi_fpga_test -p 0x08000000 -s 768 Test2: Set the FlexSPI working at 100MHz   $ insmod imx_flexspi_fpga.ko pre_div=1 post_div=4 Read/write FPGA/CPLD test $./flexspi_fpga_test -p 0x08000000 -s 768   Limitation FPGA and Flash devices can’t work at the same time due to just one FlexSPI controller. Due to the IO assignment conflict in i.MX8M EVK design, this demo just tested 4-wire(QSPI) mode at 50MHz and got data throughput as expected.

Hello everyone, this document will share an step by step guide of the configuration needed in a Linux PC to compile the SDK examples we provide, as well as how to download them in an easy way. Requirements: I.MX 8M Mini EVK SDK package (for i.MX8MM) UUU tool First step would be to get the SDK package, this include documentation and code, which is available at the MCUXpresso builder webpage: https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/welcome Click on the select a development board and select the package for your development kit or the i.MX MPU   This guide is focused on Linux build so will select GCC package and Linux host PC as the environment. Click on build and wait for the SDK package to be ready for download. Note1: Click on select all if the whole middleware package is desired Note2: it is possible to select each middleware that are desired. On new window select download SDK Select on new pop-up window download both SDK and documentation Read and accept EULA so the download start Decompress the package using the following command: $ tar -xvzf ~/SDK_2_13_0_EVK-MIMX8MM.tar.gz -C ~/SDK_2_13_0_EVK-MIMX8MM Next will be to download the GCC from the ARM webpage, gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2 https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/gnu-rm Note that the GCC version used is based on the minimum version required, since this was tested and supported, this could be found within the SDK documentation (~/SDK_2_13_0_EVK-MIMX8MM/docs/MCUXpresso SDK Release Notes for EVK-MIMX8MM) Once downloaded we can decompress and configure the environment: $ tar -xf gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2 $ export ARMGCC_DIR=~/gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10 $ export PATH=$PATH:~/gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10 $ sudo apt-get install cmake  Check the version >= 3.0.x $ cmake --version Once this is done we enter the path of the example of our choice and compile using the script, as necessary using debug, release or all. $ cd ~/SDK_2_13_0_EVK-MIMX8MM/boards/evkmimx8mm/demo_apps/hello_world/armgcc $./build_release.sh The binary (elf and bin) will be found inside the folder according to whether we use debug or release script. For this example we used release script: $ cd release Once builded we can move/download the binaries from the Linux host PC to the board by using the UUU tool with the command fat_write #### we put the board in fastboot mode by entering the command in the uboot terminal fastboot 0 #### From the Linux terminal introduce the UUU command to  download to the FAT partition of the eMMC of the baord: ## For rproc it is needed the .elf binary ## $ uuu -v -b fat_write hello_world.elf mmc 0:1 hello_world.elf ## For bootaux it is needed the .bin binary ## $  uuu -v -b fat_write hello_world.bin mmc 0:1 hello_world.bin Once with the binaries in the FAT partition of the SD/eMMC of our board we can make the necessary modifications (device tree/bootargs) to test the Cortex-M examples. For any question regarding this document, please create a community thread and tag me if needed. Saludos/Regards, Aldo.

  Introduction   Platform: i.MX93 EVK Uboot: origin/lf_v2022.04(lf-6.1.1-1.0.0) The LVDS design and media block control in i.MX93 is very similiar with i.MX8MPlus.This article implements the LVDS driver in uboot. You need apply 0001-Add-fake-adp5585-pwm-driver.patch which implements the adp5585 pwm driver in uboot. This is a fake pwm driver only implement the pwm driver framework. You can't use pwm value to adjust brightness for the moment, but this is enough to enable the backlight. Then please apply 0002-Add-imx93-lvds-and-panel-driver.patch, you will see nxp logo with this panel: https://www.nxp.com/design/development-boards/i-mx-evaluation-and-development-boards/dy1212w-4856:DY1212W-4856   Porting suggestions   1. Modify panel timing in drivers/video/simple_panel.c /* define your panel timing here and * copy it in simple_panel_get_display_timing */ static const struct display_timing boe_ev121wxm_n10_1850_timing = { .pixelclock.typ = 71143000, .hactive.typ = 1280, .hfront_porch.typ = 32, .hback_porch.typ = 80, .hsync_len.typ = 48, .vactive.typ = 800, .vfront_porch.typ = 6, .vback_porch.typ = 14, .vsync_len.typ = 3, }; static int simple_panel_get_display_timing(struct udevice *dev, struct display_timing *timings) { memcpy(timings, &boe_ev121wxm_n10_1850_timing, sizeof(*timings)); return 0; }   2.Modify VIDEO_PLL The VIDEO_PLL = pixel clock * 7. For default panel, the pixel clock is 71.143MHz and VIDEO_PLL  is 498MHz. static struct imx_fracpll_rate_table imx9_fracpll_tbl[] = { FRAC_PLL_RATE(1000000000U, 1, 166, 4, 2, 3), /* 1000Mhz */ FRAC_PLL_RATE(933000000U, 1, 155, 4, 1, 2), /* 933Mhz */ FRAC_PLL_RATE(700000000U, 1, 145, 5, 5, 6), /* 700Mhz */ FRAC_PLL_RATE(498000000U, 1, 166, 8, 0, 1),/* rate, rdiv, mfi, odiv, mfn, mfd */ FRAC_PLL_RATE(484000000U, 1, 121, 6, 0, 1), FRAC_PLL_RATE(445333333U, 1, 167, 9, 0, 1), FRAC_PLL_RATE(466000000U, 1, 155, 8, 1, 3), /* 466Mhz */ FRAC_PLL_RATE(400000000U, 1, 200, 12, 0, 1), /* 400Mhz */ FRAC_PLL_RATE(300000000U, 1, 150, 12, 0, 1), }; 3. Modify lcdif node in dts <498000000>, <71142857>, <400000000>, <133333333>; <VIDEO PLL>,<PIX CLK>, <MEDIA_AXI>,<MEDIA_APB> &lcdif { status = "okay"; - assigned-clock-rates = <484000000>, <121000000>, <400000000>, <133333333>; + assigned-clock-rates = <498000000>, <71142857>, <400000000>, <133333333>; };

The following setup is done on i.MX 93. For i.MX 8M the same steps are valid and can be followed. Prerequisites Prepare the Yocto environment. $ mkdir imx-yocto-bsp $ cd imx-yocto-bsp $ repo init -u https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-langdale -m imx-6.1.1-1.0.0.xml $ repo sync  Set the build environment. $ DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland MACHINE=imx93-11x11-lpddr4x-evk source imx-setup-release.sh -b build-imx93 Add the 32-bit support to the image For i.MX 8M / i.MX 93, building 32-bit applications on 64-bit OS can be supported using the multilib configuration. Multilib offers the ability to build libraries with different target optimizations or architecture formats and combine these together into one system image.  Building a 32-bit application requires the following statements in conf/local.conf. The configuration specifies a 64-bit machine as the main machine type and adds multilib:lib32, where those libraries are compiled with the armv7athf-neon tune, and then includes to the image the lib32 packages. # Define multilib target require conf/multilib.conf MULTILIBS = "multilib:lib32" DEFAULTTUNE:virtclass-multilib-lib32 = "armv7athf-neon" # Add the multilib packages to the image IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " lib32-glibc lib32-libgcc lib32-libstdc++" Multilib is not supported with the debian package management. It requires the RPM system. Check and comment out the two package management lines in conf/local.conf to go to the default RPM. PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_deb" EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "package-management" Build the image. bitbake imx-image-core Cross-compile a 32-bit application This section shows how to use the Linux SDK to cross-compile a simple C application into a 32-bit binary. Generate the SDK, which includes the tools, toolchain, and small rootfs to compile against to put on host machine: DISTRO=fsl-imx-wayland MACHINE=imx93-11x11-lpddr4x-evk bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk Set the SDK environment with the following command before building: source /opt/fsl-imx-wayland/6.1-langdale/environment-setup-armv7at2hf-neon-pokymllib32-linux-gnueabi Implement a simple hello world application: cat hello_world_32.c #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello, World!"); return 0; } $CC hello_world_32.c -o hello_world_32 Check the file's type: $ file hello_world_32 hello_world_32: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, BuildID[sha1]=0a5042a0309858e0b10b12175a155cfbfb4c6a80, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, with debug_info, not stripped Copy the binary to the Linux rootfs. Run the application on i.MX 93 Boot the board and run the application: root@imx93-11x11-lpddr4x-evk:~# ./hello_world_32 Hello, World!

1.Test environment Board: i.MX8MPlus, RM67199 BSP: uboot 2022.04, linux-6.1.1-1.0.1 2.Modification of uboot  In uboot, you need comment the video_link_shut_down and dm_remove_devices_flags in announce_and_cleanup function. #if defined(CONFIG_VIDEO_LINK) //video_link_shut_down(); #endif board_quiesce_devices(); printf("\nStarting kernel ...%s\n\n", fake ? "(fake run for tracing)" : ""); /* * Call remove function of all devices with a removal flag set. * This may be useful for last-stage operations, like cancelling * of DMA operation or releasing device internal buffers. */ // #ifndef CONFIG_POWER_DOMAIN // dm_remove_devices_flags(DM_REMOVE_ACTIVE_ALL | DM_REMOVE_NON_VITAL); // /* Remove all active vital devices next */ // dm_remove_devices_flags(DM_REMOVE_ACTIVE_ALL); // #endif cleanup_before_linux(); }  After doing this, the uboot logo will not be cleaned before Linux PM framework. 3.Modification of Linux You need add  CONFIG_LOGO=n into defconfig file to disable kernel logo.  3.1 Disable the power down of mediamix and mipi-dphy in gpcv2.c Please add below code into the beginning of  imx_pgc_power_down function if ((strcmp(genpd->name, "mipi-phy1") == 0) || (strcmp(genpd->name, "mediamix") == 0)) { return 0; }  3.2 Only reset lcdif in the last call of drm framework Please modify imx_lcdifv3_runtime_resume function like this. The imx_lcdifv3_runtime_resume function will be called two times, thus the lcdif will be reset two times.We can let it only reset last time,which before the rootfs mount. bool rst = false; ////////////////////////////// static int imx_lcdifv3_runtime_resume(struct device *dev) { int ret = 0; struct lcdifv3_soc *lcdifv3 = dev_get_drvdata(dev); if (unlikely(!atomic_read(&lcdifv3->rpm_suspended))) { dev_warn(lcdifv3->dev, "Unbalanced %s!\n", __func__); return 0; } if (!atomic_dec_and_test(&lcdifv3->rpm_suspended)) return 0; /* set LCDIF QoS and cache */ if (of_device_is_compatible(dev->of_node, "fsl,imx93-lcdif")) regmap_write(lcdifv3->gpr, 0xc, 0x3712); request_bus_freq(BUS_FREQ_HIGH); ret = lcdifv3_enable_clocks(lcdifv3); if (ret) { release_bus_freq(BUS_FREQ_HIGH); return ret; } ////////////////////////////// if (rst) { /* clear sw_reset */ writel(CTRL_SW_RESET, lcdifv3->base + LCDIFV3_CTRL_CLR); rst = false; } rst = true; ////////////////////////////// /* enable plane FIFO panic */ lcdifv3_enable_plane_panic(lcdifv3); return ret; } 4.Conclusion The uboot logo will be cleaned at log "imx-drm 1.0.0 20120507 for display-subsystem on minor 1". The boot time of  systemd service on evk is very long. For weston.service, it needs 3 seconds. From log here we test, the pcie and ethernet probe after drm system also cost about 1 second.

Installing the new release (Ubuntu 22.04) was detected some NXP boards as iMX8MNEVK, iMX8MM-EVK, iMX8MP-EVK and iMX8ULP-EVK had an issue with the WIFI module that basically it does not initialize at boot. Remember, the supported WIFI modules in Ubuntu 22.04 in the EVKs are the following:       • NXP 88W8987       • NXP 88W9098       • NXP 88W8997       • NXP IW416       • NXP 88W8801       • NXP IW612 To initialize the WIFI module of NXP EVKs in Ubuntu 22.04 you can set the following command in console:   sudo modprobe moal mod_para=nxp/wifi_mod_para.conf   That command find the correct driver for our WIFI module and then initialize it, but this only works when Ubuntu is working and if you reset the EVK you need to set the command again.   The definitive solution is create a custom startup script as a service:   Step 1: Go to etc/systemd/system   cd etc/systemd/system   Step 2: In this directory create a new file with the name of your preference but the extension must be .service. You can do it with nano or vim: sudo nano or sudo vim   The file must contain: [Unit] Description=”Wifi Start” [Service] ExecStart=sudo modprobe moal mod_para=nxp/wifi_mod_para.conf [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target   Now save the file, in my case the name was wifi_start.service.   Step 3: Now we need to enable the script in the startup/boot sequence following the command: sudo systemctl enable wifi_start.service   Remember in wifi_start.service is the name as you saved your file.   Finally, each time you boot your board, the WIFI module will initialize automatically.   Boards tested: iMX8MN (With WIFI module NXP 88W8987) iMX8MM (With WIFI module NXP 88W8987) iMX8MP (With WIFI module NXP 88W8997) iMX8ULP (With WIFI module NXP IW416)

Hello everyone, We have recently migrated our Source code from CAF (Codeaurora) to Github, so i.MX NXP old recipes/manifest that point to Codeaurora eventually will be modified so it points correctly to Github to avoid any issues while fetching using Yocto. Also, all repo init commands for old releases should be changed from: $ repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest -b <branch name> [ -m <release manifest>] To: $ repo init -u https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest -b <branch name> [ -m <release manifest>] This will also apply to all source code that was stored in Codeaurora, the new repository for all i.MX NXP source code is: https://github.com/nxp-imx For any issues regarding this, please create a community thread and/or a support ticket. Regards, Aldo.

1. Description: On the i.MX Android camera HAL, It only supports YUYV sensor, regardless of whether the sensor is connected to ISP or ISI. Some users want to customize the sensor format, such as UYVY or raw, they need a guide to do this, this document intends to describe how to implement raw camera sensor on i.MX8MP android, and output raw data. Note: Base on  i.MX 8M plus, Android12_1.0.0.  2. Camera HAL Android's camera hardware abstraction layer (HAL) connects the higher level camera framework APIs in android.hardware.camera2 to your underlying camera driver and hardware. For more detail information, please refer to AOSP document: https://source.android.google.cn/docs/core/camera/camera3_requests_hal?hl=en while on I.MX camera HAL, the camera subsystem can be divided into several parts:   Camera framework:  frameworks\av\camera Camera service:    frameworks\av\services\camera\libcameraservice\ Camera provider: hardware/interfaces/camera/provider/ hardware/google/camera/common/hal/hidl_service/               hidl_service dlopen the camera HAL3. Camera HAL3:   vendor\nxp-opensource\imx\camera\ Camera driver:   vendor/nxp-opensource/kernel_imx/drivers/media/i2c  It's callstack can be list as follow:  There are 2 streams on pipeline, preview stream need 3 buffers and capture stream need 2 buffers: CameraDeviceSessionHwlImpl: ConfigurePipeline, stream 0: id 0, type 0, res 2592x1944, format 0x21, usage 0x3, space 0x8c20000, rot 0, is_phy 0, phy_id 0, size 8388608 CameraDeviceSessionHwlImpl: ConfigurePipeline create capture stream CameraDeviceSessionHwlImpl: ConfigurePipeline, stream 1: id 1, type 0, res 1024x768, format 0x22, usage 0x100, space 0x0, rot 0, is_phy 0, phy_id 0, size 0 CameraDeviceSessionHwlImpl: ConfigurePipeline create preview stream You can use this command to dump the stream input/output: "setprop vendor.rw.camera.test 1" to dump steam 0. "setprop vendor.rw.camera.test 2" to dump steam 1. Before you implement the command, you need to run “su; setenforce 0” to close the SeLinux, the data is dumped as "/data/x-src.data", "/data/x-dst.data", where "x" is the stream id as "0, "1,", "2", ...   Preview Stream Capture Stream ID 1 0 Resolution 1024*768 2592*1944 Format HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_IMPLEMENTATION_DEFINED (34) HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_BLOB (33) Usage 0x900 GRALLOC_USAGE_HW_TEXTURE      (0x100) GRALLOC_USAGE_HW_COMPOSER  (0x800) 0x3 GRALLOC_USAGE_SW_READ_OFTEN Data space 0 HAL_DATASPACE_V0_JFIF  The following usage will be added by framework to distinguish preview and video:GRALLOC_USAGE_HW_VIDEO_ENCODER 3. Raw support  3.1 system modification  The default image for i.MX 8M Plus EVK supports basler + basler and the cameras can work after the image is flashed and boot up, it’s camera with ISP, but we need ISI to process raw. You should refer to Android_User’s_Guide.pdf, you need find the correct version, as Android12_2.0.0 is different with Android12_1.0.0. To make cameras work with Non-default images, execute the following additional commands: Only OV5640 (CSI1) on host: As we use OV2775 which support 1920*1080, unpacked raw12, the json file: 3.2 DTB modification  1. Firstly, change the BoardConfig.mk to generate dtbo-imx8mp-ov2775.img device\nxp\imx8m\evk_8mp\BoardConfig.mk: TARGET_BOARD_DTS_CONFIG += imx8mp-ov2775:imx8mp-evk-ov2775.dtb 2.  Secondly, add imx8mp-evk-ov2775.dts to vendor\nxp-opensource\kernel_imx\arch\arm64\boot\dts\freescale 3. Change imx8mp-evk-ov2775.dts, connect OV2775 to ISI: &isi_0 { status = "okay"; }; &isp_0 { status = "disabled"; }; &dewarp { status = "disabled"; }; 4. Build dtbo image and flash it to board: ./imx-make.sh dtboimage -j4 fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img  3.3 Sensor driver modification  I use the OV2775 driver from the isp side, be careful that all the function such as g_frame_interval and enum_frame_size should be implemented, or the HAL will get wrong parameters and return error. static struct v4l2_subdev_video_ops ov2775_subdev_video_ops = { .g_frame_interval = ov2775_g_frame_interval, .s_frame_interval = ov2775_s_frame_interval, .s_stream = ov2775_s_stream, }; static const struct v4l2_subdev_pad_ops ov2775_subdev_pad_ops = { .enum_mbus_code = ov2775_enum_mbus_code, .set_fmt = ov2775_set_fmt, .get_fmt = ov2775_get_fmt, .enum_frame_size = ov2775_enum_frame_size, .enum_frame_interval = ov2775_enum_frame_interval, };  3.4 ISI driver modification  We need to add raw format on ISI driver: }, { .name = "RAW12 (SBGGR12)", .fourcc = V4L2_PIX_FMT_SBGGR12, .depth = { 16 }, .color = MXC_ISI_OUT_FMT_RAW12, .memplanes = 1, .colplanes = 1, .mbus_code = MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SBGGR12_1X12, }, { .name = "RAW10 (SGRBG10)", .fourcc = V4L2_PIX_FMT_SGRBG10, .depth = { 16 }, .color = MXC_ISI_OUT_FMT_RAW10, .memplanes = 1, .colplanes = 1, .mbus_code = MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SGRBG10_1X10, } 3.5 Camera HAL modification As there are preview stream and capture stream on the pipeline. GPU does not support raw format, it will print error log when application set raw format:    02-10 18:49:02.162 436 436 E NxpAllocatorHal: convertToMemDescriptor Unsupported fomat PixelFormat::RAW10 02-10 18:49:02.163 2390 2445 E GraphicBufferAllocator: Failed to allocate (1920 x 1080) layerCount 1 format 37 usage 20303: 7 02-10 18:49:02.163 2390 2445 E BufferQueueProducer: [ImageReader-1920x1080f25m2-2390-0](id:95600000002,api:4,p:2148,c:2390) dequeueBuffer: createGraphicBuffer failed 02-10 18:49:02.163 2390 2405 E BufferQueueProducer: [ImageReader-1920x1080f25m2-2390-0](id:95600000002,api:4,p:2148,c:2390) requestBuffer: slot 0 is not owned by the producer (state = FREE) 02-10 18:49:02.163 2148 2423 E Surface : dequeueBuffer: IGraphicBufferProducer::requestBuffer failed: -22 02-10 18:49:02.163 2390 2445 E BufferQueueProducer: [ImageReader-1920x1080f25m2-2390-0](id:95600000002,api:4,p:2148,c:2390) cancelBuffer: slot 0 is not owned by the producer (state = FREE) 02-10 18:49:02.164 2148 2423 E Camera3-OutputStream: getBufferLockedCommon: Stream 1: Can't dequeue next output buffer: Invalid argument (-22)   Modifying the gpu code is not recommended. When preview stream, it's pixel format is fixed to HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_IMPLEMENTATION_DEFINED, it needs YUYV format, in this patch, we don't convert raw12 to yuyv, just copy the buffer from input to output, so the preview stream is raw12 actually. When capture stream, we use the Blob format, which usually used for JPEG format. when we find the format is Blob pass down by application, camera HAL will copy the buffer from input to output directly. You can check the detail on function ProcessCapturedBuffer(),    4. Application and Tool 4.1 Application  The test application on the attachment “android-Camera2Basic-master_application.7z”, It's basically a common camera application, it set the capture stream format to blob:  Size largest = Collections.max( Arrays.asList(map.getOutputSizes(ImageFormat.JPEG)), new CompareSizesByArea()); mImageReader = ImageReader.newInstance(largest.getWidth(), largest.getHeight(), ImageFormat.JPEG, /*maxImages*/2); 4.2 Tool We use 7yuv tool to check the raw12 format, which is captured by applicable or dump by HAL, you need set the parameter on the right side:   ImageJ tool also can be used to review raw format.

This hands on is based on the evkmimxrt1170_pxp_lab_cm7.zip which is from https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-RT1170-CAS-Training/PXP-Multiple-Files/ta-p/1178709 this hands on give an example to understand pxp basic concept like letterbox background color, rotation, ps buffer coordination definition, output buffer coordination definition more clear   No Roation This test is based on no rotation, so define as below #define LAB1_BIT_BLIT_NO_ROTATION This demo output is that the rabbit picture shows on the upper left corner of lcd, and the offset width and height is 100   #ifdef LAB1_BIT_BLIT_NO_ROTATION     PXP_ps_bitblit(                    // input                    (void*)bmp_rabbit,                    PIXEL_BYTES,                    BMP_RABBIT_WIDTH,                    BMP_RABBIT_HEIGHT,                      // output                    s_BufferLcd[curLcdBufferIdx],                    DEMO_PANEL_WIDTH,                    DEMO_PANEL_HEIGHT,                    100,  // output offset x                    100,  // output offset y                    kPXP_No_Rotate); #endif       in this lab sample code, the background is set to black, PXP_SetProcessSurfaceBackGroundColor(APP_PXP, 0U);   The output is     If we want to set the background to lighter blue, this is what I want to get     then I modify the code to PXP_SetProcessSurfaceBackGroundColor(APP_PXP, 0xFFF0U);   But we get the same output like, without any difference         Check the code, find that the original code   void PXP_ps_sub_region_bitblit(…) { …..     outputBufferConfig.width = sub_region_width;     outputBufferConfig.height = sub_region_height;   …… }   This means that the output buffer width and height are the same as the picture width and height, so whatever background color you set, you couldn’t find anything difference, then change the output buffer width and height is the same as lcd width and height     void PXP_ps_sub_region_bitblit(…) { …..       outputBufferConfig.width = output_width;       outputBufferConfig.height= output_height;   …… }   Then the output change to     We can find the color on the top of display is still black and this isn’t what I need, still tracing the code   void PXP_ps_sub_region_bitblit(…) { …..  // Output buffer  outputBufferConfig.buffer0Addr   =  (uint32_t)output_buffer + output_offset_y * output_width * pic_bytes_per_pixel + output_offset_x * pic_bytes_per_pixel …… }   output_buffer is defined as lcd buffer start address, here the output buffer start address isn’t defined as lcd buffer start address(output_buffer), this is offset of lcd buffer start address, so change it like   void PXP_ps_sub_region_bitblit(…) { …..  // Output buffer  outputBufferConfig.buffer0Addr = (uint32_t)output_buffer …… }   Then the output is like       The output picture move to the upper left corner without offset, but this demo defines the offset is 100   void PXP_ps_sub_region_bitblit(…) { …..  // PS buffer PXP_SetProcessSurfacePosition(APP_PXP,0,0,BMP_RABBIT_WIDTH - 1U, BMP_RABBIT_HEIGHT - 1U); ….. }   In the original code, the PS buffer offset is 0, because the ps buffer start address is the same as the output buffer start address, and output buffer start address is offset + lcd output buffer start address, so set the PS output offset is 0, but I change the output buffer start address is the same as lcd buffer start address, so change the code   void PXP_ps_sub_region_bitblit(…) { …..             uint32_t psUlcX         = output_offset_x;             uint32_t psUlcY         = output_offset_y;             uint32_t psLrcX, psLrcY;             psLrcX = psUlcX   +  sub_region_width  - 1U;             psLrcY = psUlcY + sub_region_height- 1U;         // PS buffer         PXP_SetProcessSurfacePosition(APP_PXP,psUlcX,psUlcY,psLrcX,psLrcY); ….. }   The output is   \   Now this is what we need     Roation Set Macro to #define LAB2_BIT_90_DEGREE_ROTATION   The output is     When rotation is 90 degree and width is wider than the output height, the display part will be cut, so change the code from Before void PXP_ps_sub_region_bitblit(…) { …..       outputBufferConfig.width = output_width;       outputBufferConfig.height= output_height; ….. }   To   void PXP_ps_sub_region_bitblit(…) { …..  if  (rotate == kPXP_Rotate90)  {     outputBufferConfig.width          = output_height;        /*Joan*/     outputBufferConfig.height         = output_width;         /*Joan*/  } else {         outputBufferConfig.width          = output_width;         /*Joan*/         outputBufferConfig.height         = output_height;        /*Joan*/ }….. }   Because this demo only shows no rotation and 90 degree rotation, if customer needs 270 degree, 180 degree, can add by themselves

In the i.MX 8M Plus LPDDR4 EVK board there are two Type-C port design. For the port0 is used to power supply no usb function, for the port1 used for USB function but without PD function. But in customer’s design, customer only use one USB design on their board, how to make the one USB work with the PD and USB function, we need to make the hardware design and software modify. This article only give method to realized it and have tested and realized the port1 PD function. 1 Introduction of the USB interface on i.MX8MP         There are two USB 3.0 TypeC controllers with integrated PHY interface on the i.MX8MP: Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 Spread spectrum clock support   The USB on the i.MX8MP supports USB3.0 and is compatible with USB2.0 downward. We can see that the upper layer is the universal layer for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 operations. This is a common interface, buffer management block, list processor, used to schedule and control the status register (CSR) function: USB 2.0 physical layer and MAC layer USB 3.0 physical layer, link layer and MAC layer   Features of USB 3.0: USB compliant version 3.0 (xHCI compatible) Supports operation as a stand-alone USB host controller USB dual role operation, configurable as host or device Ultra high speed (5Gbit/s), high speed (480Mbit/s), full speed (12Mbit/s) and low speed (1.5Mbit/s) operation. Support independent single port USB operation Support for four programmable bidirectional USB endpoints Support system memory interface with 40 bit addressing capability   2 Design of USB on Development Board         The i.MX 8M Plus processor includes two USB 2.0/3.0 controllers and two integrated USB PHYs. USB supports both running as an independent USB host controller and dual role USB operation, and can be configured as a host or device. Therefore, the design of these two functions is implemented on the development board of i.MX8MP.   We can see that on the development board, one USB1 is used for the USB Type-C port and the other USB2 is used for the USB 3.0 host port. USB Type-C port 0 (J5) is only used for power supply. It does not support USB data transfer. It is the only power port, so the system must always be powered.   On the CPU side of the schematic diagram, we can also see that USB1 is the port for USB Type-C, and USB2 is the host for USB3.0.    USB1 is designed as USB Type-C:   USB2 USB3.0 Host design:   Power design of the USB Type-C port:   3 Only one USB interface is used in the design (compatible with both USB PD function and USB dual roles function)         Two USB Type-C ports are used on our development board. One is used to power the board separately, and the other is used as the function of USB Type-C. However, due to the limited design cost and chip layout and space on the board, some customers will use a USB interface to realize the dual role function of power supply and USB. How to achieve this? USB Device(Download mode):     USB Host mode(power+device Need the hub support PD function):     The specific implementation and design are as follows: 3.1 Hardware realize PTN5110 To realize the USB Type-C support power supply function, PTN5110 (USB PD TCPC PHY IC) chip is required to realize Type-C data logic and power control and management. The selection of PTN5110 is critical and important.   PTN5110 is a single port USB PD (power supply) PHY IC that conforms to TCPC. It integrates Type-C configuration channel (CC) interface and USB PD physical layer functions into Type-C port manager (TCPM) that handles PD policy management. It complies with USB PD, Type-C and TCPC specifications.   The IC is mainly aimed at applications in system platforms (such as laptops, desktops, Chromebooks, tablets, flip notebooks, etc.). Other application cases may be feasible, depending on the application architecture, such as docking stations, displays, accessories, cable adapters, smartphones, etc.   It can support various Type-C applications: Sink, Source, Sink with accessory support or DRP. It executes Type-C CC simulation part (i.e. Rd/Rp/Ra detection, Rd/Rp indication) and PD Tx/Rx PHY and protocol state machine. PTN5110 supports TCPM in the system implementation of the following PD roles.   PTN5110 integrates VCONN load switch, programmable current limit, reverse leakage current blocking and over temperature protection (OTP). It is equipped with two enable control outputs to control the load switch/FET in the VBUS pull and/or sink path. It can also perform VBUS voltage monitoring/measurement, VBUS forced discharge and discharge discharge.   PTN5110 provides the main IO related functions for the main processor/TCPM, so that Type-C/PD interfaces can be easily controlled and managed through the TCPC interface.   PTN5110 supports a wide range of power input voltages, providing platform integrators with great flexibility. PTN5110 can run on VBUS to support specific system use cases that require no power operation.https://www.nxp.com/products/interfaces/usb-interfaces/usb-type-c/usb-pd-phy-and-cc-logic/usb-pd-tcpc-phy-ic:PTN5110   The design only use the USB1:   Here, it is required to weld R53 or R54. You can refer to this design completely. 2 Software modify Modify the BPS of the software: Take the newest released Linux 5.15.32_2.0.0​ as example: In the u-boot /board/freescale/imx8mp_evk/imx8mp_evk.c     It can be seen that the PD function of the port is turned off, so if you want to use USB1 for power supply, remove the following commands and turn on the PD function of USB1. “-   .disable_pd = true,” Use the above action to enable Port1 PD function. Kernel section modify: Kernel section modify towards to PTN5110.

MX8MP EVK development board show that R53 and R54 in the USB1 part of our development board are in DNP status, so VBUS_ IN is disconnected and no power comes in. Here, connect R53 or R54 with solder, so that VBUS_ IN, the power comes in again. After the power is connected. The board can be powered through USB1. 4.1 Download images to the emmc on the Board: Power from the USB1, set the boot mode to serial download mode, then go to download images finished. 4.2 Boot up the board from the EMMC Change the boot mode to boot up from EMMC,the board boot up, the log file is as following show:   It will stop at the TCPC for the section of PTN5110 driver. By default, the PD function of port1 in the u-boot is turned off, so if you want to use USB1 for power supply, remove the following commands and turn on the PD function of USB1. “-   .disable_pd = true,” After the PD function is turned on, the board can be started normally, but the whole part running to the kernel will be powered down, so the kernel part of PTN5110 still needs to be modified. After the patch modification of the above kernel part, the board can run normally.         I also did the same experiment on the i.MX8MM EVK development board. The same phenomenon occurs when the kernel starts. Therefore, similar modifications to the above i. MX8MP can work normally. Summary: In one word i.MX8MP and i.MX8M series can realize the role of using a USB for power supply and USB Dual. The hardware design refers to our development board, and we must use the logic chip PTN5110. For software, refer to the above code modification.
