This doc show: on i.MX8QXP MEK board, configure ov5640 sensor(parallel interface) output 5MP(2592x1944) RAW(Bayer) data at 15fps, and Parallel Capture Subsystem and Image Sensor Interface capture RAW RGB data, and i.MX8QXP GPU debayer RAW data then display image. HW: i.MX8QXP MEK board, MEK base board (to place the parallel camera), ov5640 sensor. SW: Linux 4.14.98_2.0.0 BSP, and patches in this doc.   Configure at camera sensor side A Bayer filter is a color filter array (CFA) for arranging RGB color filters on a square grid of photosensors. The filter pattern is 50% green, 25% red and 25% blue, hence is also called BGGR, RGBG ,GRGB, or RGGB. The ov5640 has an image array capable of operating at up to 15 fps in 5 megapixel (2592x1944) resolution. OV5640 support output formats: RAW(Bayer), RGB565/555/444,CCIR656, YUV422/420, YCbCr422, and compression. To make ov5640 output 5MP RAW data at 15fps, check my kernel patch imx8-ov5640-raw-capture-driver-4.14.98_2.0.0.diff which apply on i.MX Linux 4.14.98_2.0.0 BSP kernel code. Parallel interface ov5640, use ov5640_raw_setting[] array of drivers/media/platform/imx8/ov5640_v3.c. This register setting is come from ov5640 software application note and data sheet. Configure at i.MX8QXP side The Parallel Capture Subsystem consists of the Parallel Capture Interface (BT 656) and associated peripherals. It interfaces to the Parallel CSI sensor. This allows for up to 24 RGB data bits in parallel or for RGB components on consecutive clocks (up to 10-bit color depth). The formats supported are RGB, RAW and YUV 422. Below is Parallel Capture Subsystem diagram: For RAW format data, CSI_CTRL_REG of Parallel Capture Subsystem need configured as my patch, otherwise found cannot get correct data.   The multiple input sources (MIPI CSI, Parallel Capture) captures the pixel data and feeds it to the ISI. The ISI is responsible for capturing and pre-processing the pixel data from multiple input sources and storing them into the memory. Below is ISI diagram: For RAW format data, it should be bypass any processing pipeline of ISI, just use ISI to save it to memory.   Capture test code To capture the RAW data and save it to file, check my patch imx8_ov5640_raw_captupre_test_4.14.98_2.0.0_ga.diff which apply on i.MX Linux 4.14.98_2.0.0 BSP unit test code. Note the usage is: ./imx8_cap.out -of -cam 1 -fr 15 -fmt BA81 -ow 2592 -oh 1944 -num 100   Display RAW data The RAW data cannot be displayed directly, debayer process is needed to get complete red, green, blue color for each pixel. The debayer process if run on CPU, will cost much CPU time. To save CPU time, debayer could done by GPU. The method is, captured RAW data upload to GPU as texture , then GPU will do the debayer, then full color of each pixel will be got, then display it. To upload RAW camera data to GPU with zero memory copy, i will use i.MX8QXP GPU extension GL_VIV_direct_texture. It create a texture with direct access support. API glTexDirectVIVMap,  which support mapping a user space memory or a physical address into the texture surface. The API glTexDirectVIVMap need logic and physical address of data buffer, so i will allocate data buffer from g2d lib, it is dma-buffer also get logic/physical address of buffer, then queue it as DMABUF to v4l2 capture driver, after dequeue got RAW camera data, pass it to GPU for debayer. GPU side, I will use OpenGL shader code from "Efficient, High-Quality Bayer Demosaic Filtering on GPUs". Check my patch imx8_debayer-gpusdk-5.3.0.diff which apply on i.MX GPU SDK 5.3.0 code. Note, here i only do is debayer, no extra process.   Known issue One thing is ov5640 output 5MP at 15fps, compare with output 5MP at 5fps, there are more noise of camera data at 15fps case. My debug found is, this noise seems come from ov5640 itself.   Reference: a>https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=IMX8DQXPRM b>https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=L4.14.98_2.0.0_MX8QXP&appType=license c>https://github.com/NXPmicro/gtec-demo-framework d>ov5640 data sheet e>ov5640 software application note f>Efficient, High-Quality Bayer Demosaic Filtering on GPUs https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Efficient%2C-High-Quality-Bayer-Demosaic-Filtering-on-McGuire/088a2f47b7ab99c78d41623bdfaf4acdb02358fb

In many cases (test certain modules, first boot-ups, DDR is not available), writing bare-metal (SDK) code with runs on iRAM (OCRAM) is the only possible scenario. The first (attached) patch creates a new linker file with proper sections and the second includes a tiny app (it should be tiny, by definition) using the previous file. These are the steps to have the setup ready: 1. Dowload latest i.MX6 SDK (v1.1.0 is the latest when writing this document). 2. Let GIT take the control (git init; git add .; git commit -m '1st commit') 3. Apply patches (git am < patch1; git am < patch2 ) 4.

This document shows how to run the multicore communication examples from MCUXpresso SDK while running the Android BSP on Cortex-A7 on i.MX 7ULP-EVK. Though this document is focused on the multicore demos, similar procedures can be applied to run any other demo in the SDK. 1. Source code This document is based on the following releases: Board Android BSP MCUXpresso SDK imx7ulp-evk Android O8.1.0 for i.MX 7ULP GA SDK2.4 for i.MX 7ULP GA Download releases at i.MX Software. 2. Building the Cortex-M4 SDK There are at least two multicore demos in the SDK package, rpmsg_lite_pingpong_rtos and rpmsg_lite_str_echo_rtos. They are located at: <SDK_2.4.0_EVK-MCIMX7ULP_dir>/boards/evkmcimx7ulp/multicore_examples/ Build the rpmsg_lite_str_echo_rtos demo according to the SDK Getting Started Guide. Remember to also follow the Chapter 6, Step 4 of the document to generate the ram bootable image (sdk20-app.img). 3. Building the Android BSP 3.1. RPMsg kernel module Before building the BSP, add the following line to the BoardConfig.mk file (<android_build_dir>/device/fsl/evk_7ulp/BoardConfig.mk): BOARD_VENDOR_KERNEL_MODULES += \    $(KERNEL_OUT)/drivers/net/wireless/qcacld-2.0/wlan.ko \ + $(KERNEL_OUT)/drivers/rpmsg/imx_rpmsg_tty.ko 3.2. Cortex-M4 image Copy the SDK image file (sdk20-app.img) to the following directory in the Android source code: $ cp <SDK_2.4.0_EVK-MCIMX7ULP_dir>/tools/imgutil/evkmcimx7ulp/sdk20-app.img \   <android_build_dir>/vendor/nxp/fsl-proprietary/mcu-sdk/7ulp/sdk20-app.img Change the BoardConfig.mk file accordingly: # Copy prebuilt M4 demo image: PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \ - vendor/nxp/fsl-proprietary/mcu-sdk/7ulp/imx7ulp_m4_demo.img:imx7ulp_m4_demo.img + vendor/nxp/fsl-proprietary/mcu-sdk/7ulp/sdk20-app.img:imx7ulp_m4_demo.img After these changes, build and flash Android as described in the BSP User's Guide. 4. Enabling the multicore communication While booting, the SoC automatically loads the Cortex-M4 image. After complete booting, install the imx_rpmsg_tty.ko module to create the multicore communication channel: $ su $ insmod vendor/lib/modules/imx_rpmsg_tty.ko To send messages from Cortex-A7 to Cortex-M4, use the /dev/ttyRPMSG* channel: $ echo "MESSAGE" > /dev/ttyRPMSG* /dev/ttyRPMSG* refers to the RPMsg device created on the board, so change the number accordingly. Cortex-M4 will echo all messages received from Cortex-A7. This is a simple example on how to communicate different cores on i.MX using Android but it can be used as a starting point for Android multicore applications.

In case your Linux system was built using LTIB, in order to have the jpegdec element included on the gst-plugin-good, follow these steps: On the LTIB menuconfig, make sure the following packages are selected: gstreamer-plugins-good libjpeg libpng Remove the configure parameters '--disbale-libpng' and '--disable-jpeg' on the file './dist/lfs-5.1/gst-plugins-good/gst-plugins-good.spec' Rebuild and flash your board (or SD card) again. Image display VSALPHA=1 gst-launch filesrc location=sample.jpeg ! jpegdec ! imagefreeze ! mfw_isink Important: non 8 pixel aligned width and height is treated as not supported format in isink plugin.

Use the EPDC Unit Test to exercise your EPD panel 1.  Introduction The i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite and i.MX 6SoloLite processors contain an Electrophoretic Display Controller (EPDC) designed to drive E-INK(TM) EPD panels supporting a wide variety of TFT backplanes. Detailed information about the EPDC is available in the i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite and i.MX 6SoloLite Reference Manuals. Information about programming the EPDC and integrating support for a particular panel into the Linux BSP is provided in the Linux BSP Reference Manual. Now that you have your panel hardware and software integrated, how can you tell if it is all working? Or perhaps you're using a standard panel that doesn't seem to be working - how can you test it at the lowest level? The answer is the EDPC Unit Test. 2. Running the EPDC Unit Test Most i.MX processor hardware modules have an associated unit test in the unit_tests directory of the root file system image. The basics of running the EPDC unit test are simple. After logging in as root on the debug console, change to the unit tests directory and execute the test as follows: $ cd /unit_tests $ ./mxc_epdc_fb_test.out Without any arguments, the unit test runs thirteen individual tests and takes about 8 minutes to complete. You will get a lot of output on the panel and it may not be obvious that the images are displaying correctly. Running the unit test with no arguments is a nice automated way to make sure your panel is at least displaying something, and is not causing a crash or hang. But to really verify correctness each test should be run individually and the output carefully reviewed. This can be accomplished by passing a test number option as follows: $ ./mxc_epdc_fb_test.out -n 1 To show a list of all the available options, as well as a list of the individual test numbers, use the "-h" argument. The helpful output is shown below. $ ./mxc_epdc_fb_test.out -h EPDC framebuffer driver test program. Usage: mxc_epdc_fb_test [-h] [-a] [-p delay] [-u s/q/m] [-n ]         -h        Print this message         -a        Enabled animation waveforms for fast updates (tests 8-9)         -p        Provide a power down delay (in ms) for the EPDC driver                   0 - Immediate (default)                   -1 - Never                    ms - After ms milliseconds         -u        Select an update scheme                   s - Snapshot update scheme                   q - Queue update scheme                   m - Queue and merge update scheme (default)         -n        Execute the tests specified in expression                   Expression is a set of comma-separated numeric ranges                   If not specified, tests 1-13 are run Example: ./mxc_epdc_fb_test.out -n 1-3,5,7 EPDC tests: 1 - Basic Updates 2 - Rotation Updates 3 - Grayscale Framebuffer Updates 4 - Auto-waveform Selection Updates 5 - Panning Updates 6 - Overlay Updates 7 - Auto-Updates 8 - Animation Mode Updates 9 - Fast Updates 10 - Partial to Full Update Transitions 11 - Test Pixel Shifting Effect 12 - Colormap Updates 13 - Collision Test Mode 14 - Stress Test In addition to "-n" to run individual tests, the "-a" and "-u" options are provided to set animation mode and waveform used, respectively. These options make sense only for some of the individual tests, as noted in the next section. The "-u s" (snapshot) mode purposely does not allow pending updates, so some of the tests will cause the driver to issue the following warning in snapshot mode: imx_epdc_fb: No free intermediate buffers available. The "-p" (power down delay) option allows you to specify how soon the device driver automatically powers down the controller after all pending updates have completed. The default is 0 (zero), meaning power down immediately. Use "-1" to disable power down (i.e. never power down). Sidebar: You can use another unit test, "dump-clocks.sh", to view the state of the EPDC clocks (i.e. the power state of the module). In the example below, a "1" in the third column indicates that the clock is running; a "0" indicates the clock is gated: $ ./dump-clocks.sh | grep epdc epdc_pix_clk             pll5_video_main_clk       1   26666667 epdc_axi_clk             pll2_pfd2_400M             1  198000000 3.  Individual Test Details Important! The notes below assume you are running the version of the unit test binary in the tar file attached to this How-to. Please extract the file mxc_epdc_fb_tests.out from the tar file into your rootfs unit_tests directory before running the test. Most tests begin with a screen blank operation (all white pixels). Each test works with all three update schemes (snapshot, queue, queue and merge) unless otherwise noted. 3.1 Test 1: Basic Updates Draws the following patterns: Crosshatch Squares Text Ginger image Colorbar 3.2 Test 2: Rotation Updates Draws text, squares, crosshatch, and square outlines in all rotation modes: No rotation Clockwise (90 degrees) Upside down (180 degrees) Counterclockwise (270 degrees) The square outlines are drawn first in RGB format and then in Y8 format. 3.3 Test 3: Grayscale Framebuffer Updates Draws a top half black screen and then a colorbar, rotated clockwise. First draws in normal Y8 format and then in inverted Y8 format. 3.4 Test 4: Auto-waveform Selection Updates Draws several small squares using auto-waveform selection. Note: unlike the i.MX508 EPDC driver, the i.MX 6 driver does not report the final waveform selection to user-level applications. This test also verifies that squares at non-8-bit aligned pixels can be drawn. 3.5 Test 5: Panning Updates Draws a colorbar to an off-screen region. Draws the Ginger image to the frame buffer. Sets the focus (pan) to the colorbar, then updates portions of the screen. You should see the colorbar poke through. Slowly pans from Ginger to the entire colorbar. Use pan to flip between black and white buttons. Flashes buttons using pixel inversion. Flashes buttons using panning. 3.6 Test 6: Overlay Updates Switches between the frame buffer (FB) and the alternate (overlay) frame buffer as follows: Draws Ginger to the FB. Draws the colorbar to the alternate frame buffer. Shows the FB (Ginger). Shows the alternate FB (colorbar). Shows FB again (Ginger). Shows half FB, half alternate FB. Shows cutout region of alternate FB. Shows cutout in upper corner. Shows black screen. Shows clockwise-rotated text overlay in center. 3.7 Test 7: Auto-Updates Important! The auto-update mechanism must be enabled in the kernel configuration for this test to work. Enable it using the LTIB Kernel configuration menu item "Device Drivers->Graphics support->E-Ink Auto-update Mode Support." Also, please check the Linux BSP Release Notes for any issues with this feature. 3.8 Test 8: Animation Mode Updates Shows how normal (gray level) and monochrome (black and white) updates compare in appearance and performance. Quickly flashes back and forth between black and white screens. Draws normal squares. Draws black and white squares. Draws Ginger in gray scale and monochrome. Draws colorbar in gray scale and monochrome. Draws normal Y8 colorbar and monochrome colorbar. Draws inverted normal Y8 colorbar and inverted monochrome colorbar. You can run this test in animation mode using the "-a" command line option. Animation mode only updates monochrome pixels, so you will notice a drawing speed improvement. Also, you will see the implementation of one of the "rules" of using this mode: The screen must be blanked (all white or all black) when switching in and out of animation mode. 3.9 Test 9: Fast Updates Animates a square across the screen and down one side. This test can also be run in animation mode using "-a". See the animation mode notes in the Test 8 description above. 3.10 Test 10: Partial to Full Update Transitions Draws small gray squares using separate updates in partial update mode (only pixels that change are updated). Then re-draws the entire screen in one update using full update mode. In full update mode, you will notice the entire screen transition from black to the final grey value. 3.11 Test 11: Test Pixel Shifting Effect Draws a short, two pixel line and then sends two updates one pixel apart in distance and 5 seconds apart in time. Nothing much to see here; just verifies that a one pixel update shift works. 3.12 Test 12: Colormap Updates Creates a colormap and uses it to draw full screen blanks and to draw a color bar. In this test, you should follow along with the text printed in the debug console and verify each state: Screen should be black. Screen should be white now. Screen should still be white. Should be inverted color bar (white to black, left to right). Colorbar again, with no CMAP (black to white, left to right). Posterized colorbar. In the above output, "CMAP" means colormap and "Posterized colorbar" is a colorbar drawn from only black and white components. 3.13 Test 13: Collision Test Mode Draws two overlapping rectangles. Tests for collision on the first rectangle, which should result in the message: Collision test result = 0 Then draws the same overlapping rectangles, this time testing for collision on the second rectangle. The result should be: Collision test result = 1 Note: This test cannot be run using the snapshot scheme. If you try to use "-u s" it will print a message and return. 3.14 Test 14: Stress Test Draws thousands of random rectangles on the screen in different rotations. Runs for about 8 minutes. This test must be explicitly specified on the command line; it does not run by default. For example: $ ./mxc_epdc_fb_test.out -n 14 Note: This test cannot be run using the snapshot scheme. If you try to use "-u s" it will print a message and return. 4. Customizing A great way to know what's really going on in each test is to look at the source code. You may want to customize the source as well - say to add a new test that exercises some cool feature of your panel. Fortunately, the source is included in the BSP distribution so you can extract, customize, and rebuild it as needed. The magic of LTIB is beyond the scope of this article, but here are some hints: # Extract the unit test source from the imx-test package: $ ./ltib -m prep -p imx-test # Source is now in rpm/BUILD/imx-test-12.08.00/test/mxc_fb_test/mxc_epdc_fb_test.c (your package version number my be different). # Build from source: $ ./ltib -m scbuild -p imx-test # Deploy all unit test binaries to ltib rootfs directory: $ ./ltib -m scdeploy -p imx-test # Alternatively you can copy just the epdc unit test binary as follows: $ sudo cp rpm/BUILD/imx-test-12.08.00/platform/IMX6S/mxc_epdc_fb_test.out rootfs/unit_tests/ As noted in the Individual Test Details section, you should replace the file mxc_epdc_fb_test.c referenced above with the one found in the tar file attached to this How-to. 5. Something is wrong! Of course there are many things that can go wrong that are beyond the scope of this article, but assuming your hardware is working and the panel options are correctly configured in the BSP (again, beyond our scope), here are some things to check: Is the kernel configured correctly for EPDC support? Check that the following item is enabled in the LTIB Kernel configuration menu: "Device Drivers->Graphics support->E-Ink Panel Framebuffer." Are the U-boot kernel command line arguments set correctly for EPDC? For example, "video=mxcepdcfb:E060SCM consoleblank=0". The "consoleblank=0" command is useful to prevent entering low power suspend mode while you are testing. Does the "Tux" image display correctly on your panel after system boot? If so, the EPDC driver was a least able to perform the initial framebuffer update to your panel. Note: for Tux to display at boot, you need to disable LCDIF support at "Device Drivers->Graphics support->Support MXC ELCDIF framebuffer." Are there any EPDC-related error messages in the kernel log after boot? You can check with "dmesg | grep epdc".

i.MX8/i.MX8X/i.MX8DXL has ddr stress test tool. It is a window UI program. In some cases, i.MX devices is security closed. Need signed image to run. Such as unit fail field return analyze, switch new ddr part on existing board.  

Low power demo on i.MX8MM.   9/28/2020: Attachments updated. 1. Fix a bug in 5.4.24 kernel that system can only wakeup once. 2. Remove 0x104 from atf patch. On 5.4.24, tested OK without PLL2.   9/8/2020: Attachments updated. Add patches for 5.4.24 kernel.   We use it to test power consumption on i.MX8MM EVK.   Usage: 1. Kernel: echo "mem" > /sys/power/state   2. M4: Select a power mode from menu and wait for wakeup. Default wakeup method is GPT.   Add more patches, which will add functions for the case: 1. M core RUN and A core in suspend with DDR OFF. 2. M core wakeup A core without DDR support.   Descriptions: freertos_lowpower.zip. A simple freertos example for M4 RUN when A core in DSM. Generally, we use MU_TriggerInterrupts(MUB, kMU_GenInt0InterruptTrigger); to do wakeup. low_power_demo.zip A simple baremetal example for M4 RUN when A core in DSM. Generally, we use MU_TriggerInterrupts(MUB, kMU_GenInt0InterruptTrigger); to do wakeup. Note that the freertos version will have more options in menu. atf patch: Allow A53 to enter fast-wakeup stop when M4 RUN. Also avoid bypass of some plls, which is important to make M4 RUN when A53 enters suspend. 0001-iMX8MM-GIR-wakeup.patch: GIR wakeup patch for kernel. Need kernel to use fsl-imx8mm-evk-m4.dtb. 0002-Don-t-keep-root-clks-when-M4-is-ON.patch. Don't keep root clocks when M4 is ON. 0001-plat-imx8mm-keep-the-necessary-clock-enabled-for-rdc.patch. There's a design issue that when wakeup from DSM, described in patch: "if NOC power down is enabled in DSM mode, when system resume back, RDC need to reload the memory regions config into the MRCs, so PCIE, DDR, GPU bus related clock must on to make sure RDC MRCs can be successfully reloaded." Note that this patch will keep PCIE, DDR and GPU clock on, which will increase the power. An optimization will be decrease PCIE, DDR and GPU clock before entering DSM.   Power measurement: Supply Domain Voltage(V) I(mA) P(mW) peak avg peak avg peak avg VDD_ARM(L6) 1.010029 1.009513 1.109 1.030 1.120 1.039 VDD_SOC(L5) 0.855199 0.854857 190.110 189.973 162.582 162.400 VDD_GPU_VPU_DRAM(L10) 0.977240 0.977050 19.865 19.800 19.413 19.346 NVCC_DRAM(L15) 1.094407 1.094168 2.059 1.984 2.253 2.171 Total         185.367 184.956   Notes: This power measurements is got by putting Cortex-A in DSM and Cortex-M in RUNNING. In other tests, if M core can be put to STOP mode, additional power can be saved (5 - 20mA in VDD_SOC). From the table, we can see that by putting DDR to retain, a lot of power can be saved in VDD_SOC and NVCC_DRAM.

Q: How to get the CSI BT656 without HSYNC/VSYNC working. The problem, is that all implemented driver in the BSP are using the external HSYNC/VSYNC synchronization signal. The SW designer is actually struggling to find the right way to generate the end of field active interrupt (end of frame). > mxc_v4l2_still.out I get an: > ERROR: v4l2 capture: mxc_v4l_read timeout counter 0 > > When using mxc_v4l2_capture.out or mxc_v4l2_tvin.out I get an: > ERROR: v4l2 capture: mxc_v4l_dqueue timeout enc_counter 0 > To help him implementing the driver, I need to get some insight on the IPUx_CSIn_CCIR_CODE_1/2/3 as it seems that the bit description 21 to 19 (CSI_STRT_FLD0_ACTV) is not described (same for all the multiple bit field in this register. Maybe it should match the ITU656, but here as well the driver examples does not match the bit description of the ITU standard. So my questions: IS it really possible to implement the BT656 with SAV / EAV and without external HSYNC/VSYNC? If yes, is it possible to review the IPUx_CSIn_CCIR_CODE_1/2/3 fields and communicate which parameter should be provided here? i.MX6Q A:      For no VSYNC and HSYNC case, in the sensor driver such as "linux-3.0.35\drivers\media\video\mxc\capture\adv7180.c", function ioctl_g_ifparm(), you should set p->u.bt656.bt_sync_correct to 0;      p->u.bt656.bt_sync_correct = 1; // It means external VSYNC and HSYNC will be used for SYNC.      p->u.bt656.bt_sync_correct = 0; // No external VSYNC and HSYNC, embedded EAV and SAV will be used for SYNC.      In iMX6 BSP, the CCIR related code is ready in "linux-3.0.35\drivers\mxc\ipu3\ipu_capture.c", function ipu_csi_init_interface(), no code modification was needed, that code was verified work.      For BT656 mode, your sensor driver such as adv7180, should also report correct parameters in function function ioctl_g_ifparm().      p->u.bt656.clock_curr = 0;  // This will tell linux-3.0.35\drivers\media\video\mxc\capture\mxc_v4l2_capture.c to use "IPU_CSI_CLK_MODE_CCIR656_INTERLACED" in function mxc_v4l2_s_param().      The current iMX6 BSP mxc_v4l2_capture.c driver doesn't support BT656 progressive mode, it only supports BT656 interlace mode. To support BT656 progressive mode, the customer should modify the code in mxc_v4l2_s_param(), let csi_param.clk_mode = IPU_CSI_CLK_MODE_CCIR656_PROGRESSIVE. This is exactly what they are doing, but still it doesn’t work. Actually, they see the code being executed following the right steps in the ipu_csi_init_interface() going through PAL 720x625 configuration. But still, they get the timeout! else if (cfg_param.clk_mode == IPU_CSI_CLK_MODE_CCIR656_INTERLACED) {       if (width == 720 && height == 625) {         /* PAL case */         /*         Field0BlankEnd = 0x6, Field0BlankStart = 0x2,         Field0ActiveEnd = 0x4, Field0ActiveStart = 0           */         ipu_csi_write(ipu, csi, 0x40596, CSI_CCIR_CODE_1);         /*         Field1BlankEnd = 0x7, Field1BlankStart = 0x3,         Field1ActiveEnd = 0x5, Field1ActiveStart = 0x1           */         ipu_csi_write(ipu, csi, 0xD07DF, CSI_CCIR_CODE_2);         ipu_csi_write(ipu, csi, 0xFF0000, CSI_CCIR_CODE_3); So, I believe the parameters are wrong. What could be missing. Can you review the driver? For me it looks like the adv example, except the bt_sync_correct=0, which is what we want. You can suggest the customer to capture the CSI data bus to check if there is correct output from sensor, such as EAV/SAV. For the "timeout" error, it always means there is no correct data on CSI data bus. This document was generated from the following discussion: CSI BT656

Using a RAW NAND is more difficult compared to eMMC, but for lower capacity it is still cheaper. Even with the ONFI (Open NAND Flash Interface) you can face initialization issue you can find by measure performance. I will take example of a non-well supported flash, I have installed on my evaluation board (SABRE AI). I wanted to do a simple performance test, to check roughly the MB/s I can expected with this NAND. One of a simplest test is to use the dd command: root@imx6qdlsolo:~# time dd if=/dev/mtd4 of=/dev/null 851968+0 records in 851968+0 records out 436207616 bytes (436 MB, 416 MiB) copied, 131.8884 s, 3.3 MB/s ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ As my RAW was supposed to work in EDO Mode 5, I could expect more than 20MB/s. To check what was wrong, read you kernel startup log: Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0 Linux version 4.1.15-2.0.0+gb63f3f5 (bamboo@yb6) (gcc version 5.3.0 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 16 15:02:15 CDT 2016 CPU: ARMv7 Processor [412fc09a] revision 10 (ARMv7), cr=10c53c7d CPU: PIPT / VIPT nonaliasing data cache, VIPT aliasing instruction cache Machine model: Freescale i.MX6 DualLite/Solo SABRE Automotive Board [...] Amd/Fujitsu Extended Query Table at 0x0040 Amd/Fujitsu Extended Query version 1.3. number of CFI chips: 1 nand: device found, Manufacturer ID: 0xc2, Chip ID: 0xdc nand: Macronix MX30LF4G18AC nand: 512 MiB, SLC, erase size: 128 KiB, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64 gpmi-nand 112000.gpmi-nand: mode:5 ,failed in set feature.

To redo the test: rmmod /lib/modules/4.1.29-fslc+g59b38c3/kernel/drivers/mtd/tests/mtd_speedtest.ko insmod /lib/modules/4.1.29-fslc+g59b38c3/kernel/drivers/mtd/tests/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 To check your NAND is in EDO mode 5, you can check your clock tree: /unit_tests/dump-clocks.sh clock          parent   flags    en_cnt pre_cnt      rate [...] gpmi_bch_apb   ---      00000005   0       0       198000000 gpmi_bch       ---      00000005   0       0       198000000 gpmi_io        ---      00000005   0       0        99000000 gpmi_apb       ---      00000005   0       0       198000000‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ The IO are clocked now at 99MHz, thus you can read at 49.5MHz (20ns in EDO mode 5 definition).

Tool: VMware Workstation Player Linux Distribution : Ubuntu 16.04 1. Create the VM in VMware Workstation. 2. Select the .iso file to install the Ubuntu 16.04 in the VM. 3. In "Specify Disk Capacity", I recommend the disk size is 200GB. 4. Then click "Finish" to create the VM. 5. If you have local mirror sources, change the source in /etc/apt/source.list. This will speed up a lot when you download the Linux packages and software. 6. Type these two commands to update the Ubuntu system. - sudo apt-get update - sudo apt-get upgrade 7. Install Yocto Project host packages $ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat libsdl1.2-dev $ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev xterm sed cvs subversion coreutils texi2html docbook-utils python-pysqlite2 help2man make gcc g++ desktop-file-utils libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev mercurial autoconf automake groff curl lzop asciidoc u-boot-tools 8.Install the repo a. Create a bin folder in the home directory. $ mkdir ~/bin (this step may not be needed if the bin folder already exists) $ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo $ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo b. Add the following line to the .bashrc file to ensure that the ~/bin folder is in your PATH variable. export PATH=~/bin:$PATH If you cannot download the repo from google, please try this one: Git Repo | 镜像站使用帮助 | 清华大学开源软件镜像站 | Tsinghua Open Source Mirror  9. Yocto project setup $ mkdir imx-yocto-bsp $ cd imx-yocto-bsp $ repo init -u https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-sumo -m imx-4.14.98-2.0.0_ga.xml $ repo sync 10. Building an image The syntax for the fsl-setup-release.sh script is shown below. $ DISTRO=<distro name> MACHINE=<machine name> source fsl-setup-release.sh -b <build dir> $ DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland MACHINE=imx8qxpmek source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-xwayland $ bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx or $ bitbake core-image-full-cmdline (smaller size of rootfs) (for more examples, please refer to the i.MX_Yocto_Project_User's_Guide.pdf) 11. U-boot and Kernel Source code in Yocto u-boot : imx-yocto-bsp/build-xwayland/tmp/work/<board_name>/u-boot-imx kernel : imx-yocto-bsp/build-xwayland/tmp/work/<board_name>/linux-imx 12. Deploy folder of the images imx-yocto-bsp/build-xwayland/tmp/deploy/images/<board_name> Some useful commands for your information: 1. Kernel Menuconfig $ bitbake linux-imx -c menuconfig 2. Rebuild the u-boot and kernel source code $ bitbake u-boot-imx -c compile -f $ bitbake linux-imx -c compile -f 3. Rebuild the whole project to generate the images to deploy folder again for example, if you build the fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx before , then type this: $ bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx -f Reference: (1) Download the BSP and the Documentation   :  i.MX Software | NXP
