ERROR: v4l2 capture: mxc_v4l_read timeout counter 0 - IMX6Q - parallel CSI

[Selea]

DEar,

I'm using a custom board with a custom sensor, with kernel 3.10.17_ga

I modified the DTS files to adapt to our hardware, and starting from the ov5640.c driver  i wrote the driver for our sensor.

the probe is workink, the video dev is registered (ipu =1 csi =1 -> /dev/video2)... everything seems to be fine,

but when i try to cat /dev/video2 i have the error

ERROR: v4l2 capture: mxc_v4l_read timeout counter 0

imx-ipuv3 2800000.ipu: Not A CSI channel

cat: read error: Timer expired

I tried just to make an experiment to use a different ipu csi (0,0) , of course it will not work due to wrong pin but i have a timeout on read error and not the "not a CSI channel error"...

so i think i miss something in the dts file to connect ipu1,1 to vpu....

what coudl be wrong?

Thanks

Omar

I think i made some kind of error in IPU/CSI configuration:

I'm using ipu=1 CSI =1 in the dts

[Selea]

Now i tried t use the OV5640 (i'm using the OV5640 mipi board from boundary).

And I have the same error.... SO it should be not a problem of driver (already included and tested) or hardware (the probe is working...

but still I have the timeout error on mxc_v4l_read ("timeout counter 0")

ok the ov5640_mipi now is working... was a mistake in the ipucsi config in dts file... but still digging on my Ar0134 (parallel) sensor capture

in my hardware should be captured on IPU2...

HI，Omar Pighi

       I‘m using  imx6q and  ov5640 too，can you tell  me  how did you  slove the poblem。

thanks

I am having the same issue with the ov5640_mipi module on sabresd Quad board. Relevant DTS entries are shown below. I am building as-per L5.0.0_1.0.0 BSP instructions and I am seeing:

root@sabresd_6dq:/ # cat /dev/video1

ERROR: v4l2 capture: mxc_v4l_read timeout counter 0

imx-ipuv3 2400000.ipu: Not a CSI channel

Omar: What was your solution?

Cheers,

Don

I have  question on a couple of register:

IOMUXC_GPR1 in this bit i configure if mipi or parallel goes to CSI in my hardware bit20 =1 because i'm using the parallel CSI1 to IPU2 (see Sasamy answer above)

but I have also IPU2_CONF register where some bits confuse me (bit 29 and bit 31) seem to be a duplicate.... where , when and what I have to configure (if I had to this second register IPU specific?)

thanks

Omar

[Selea]

where are defined the register of IPU (IPU2_CONF etc..)...

i think ihave to configure the input of IPU2 from CSI1 doing something like that:

	if(sensor->csi==1)
	{
	val= (1<<20) ;
	ipur = syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdevname("ipu2");
	if (!IS_ERR(ipur))
	{
	regmap_update_bits(ipur, IPU2_CONF, 0xA0000000, 0x80000000);
	}
	else
	{
	pr_err("%s: ipu2 not found\n", __func__);
	}
	}

I'm not able to find the definition of IPU2_CONF ..... I made the name so probably is different.. but somewhere should be defined the registers to configure the IPU...

[Selea]

what do you think to add something like that:

	ipur = ipu_get_soc(sensor->ipu_id);
	ipu_enable_csi(ipur, sensor->csi);

[Sasamy]

Hi Selea,

I think you need to configure the interface and channel for your board, for example

linux-2.6-imx.git - Freescale i.MX Linux Tree

Alexander

[Selea]

in my driver (took from OV5640) I did:

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

gpr = syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible("fsl,imx6q-iomuxc-gpr");

    if (!IS_ERR(gpr)) {

	if (of_machine_is_compatible("fsl,imx6q")) {
		int mask = sensor->csi ? (1 << 20) : (1 << 19);

		if (sensor->csi != sensor->ipu_id) {
			pr_warning("%s: csi_id != ipu_id\n", __func__);
			return -ENODEV;
		}
		regmap_update_bits(gpr, IOMUXC_GPR1, mask, mask);
	} else if (of_machine_is_compatible("fsl,imx6dl")) {
		int mask = sensor->csi ? (7 << 3) : (7 << 0);
		int val =  sensor->csi ? (4 << 3) : (4 << 0);

		regmap_update_bits(gpr, IOMUXC_GPR13, mask, val);
	}

    } else {

	pr_err("%s: failed to find fsl,imx6q-iomux-gpr regmap\n",
		__func__);

    }

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Is the ERROR here probably... what do you think?

Omar

[Sasamy]

Omar, sorry,

I was wrong  -  I have not noticed that CSI is configured in the sensor driver and I see no error here.

csi_id = <1>;

int mask = sensor->csi ? (1 << 20) : (1 << 19);

IOMUXC_GPR1 --> 20 MIPI sensor to IPU-2 mux control --> 1 Enable parallel interface to IPU2 CSI1

I was wondering if the code portion you showed me is called anyway other then driver... so maybe it is overriding my settings....

Omar

[Selea]

maybe i understood what you mean... I will try to add for my board... thanks
