Hi,
This is a question regarding the DMA SMFC Channels. I'm using a SabreSD Quad Platform with Android Pie.
Typically (as shown in the picture below) the sensor connected to CSI0 sends the data through the dma_smfc_ch0.
I would like to know if it's possible to configure the data path for CSI1 to make the flow go through dma_smfc_ch0 as well, instead of any other channel, since my understanding is that dma_smfc_ch0 is the only channel that is able to use the whole FIFO, while the other channels will use a reduced FIFO.
To provide more context, currently, our application is running intensive operations in memory, so we need to have a FIFO as big as possible to queue data so that the camera pixels are not lost while the memory is busy, so I appreciate it if anyone can provide more input on this and/or there are other ideas.
@Bio_TICFSL Thanks for the timely reply!
Moreover, from table IPUx_SMFC_MAP field descriptions I see (for instance):
My understanding is that one can map CSI1 data to DMASMFC channel 0. This way the data would be mapped to the FIFO base address 0 which is what we need.
Is there anything else I'm missing that won't enable us to make this configuration?
