IMX6 csi1 16 bit data capture

[chunxin]

hi all:

we use imx6 ipu/csi (no mipi) to capture 16bits yuv data with external hsync/vsync,

( IOMUX = D19~D12=Y, D11~D4=U/V,  PCLK+HSYNC+VSYNC)

but the image like this:

we have set csi as gade mode to capture 16 bit generic data,

hi chunxin

  do you fix the issue?

I also am trying to use ADV7180 on CSI1. In my case though I get a timeout. from what I see above from chun xin, his setup is:

( IOMUX = D19~D12=Y, D11~D4=U/V,  PCLK+HSYNC+VSYNC)

In my case, the HSYNC, VSYNC, PIXCLK pins are not used (we do not use external hsync nor vsync). Is PIXCLK critical too?

Also, we only have 8 data pins connected to our decoder. I see that in chun xin's case, he talks about 12 pins for csi data: 8 for Y and 4 for U/V. I am a little bit confused now, as I thought 8 are enough for CSI. Can somebody confirm that in fact 12 data pins are needed for CSI parallel communication?

Thanks.

Hi ( IOMUX = D19_{D12=Y, D11}D4=U/V, PCLKHSYNCVSYNC) is not for BT1120.

BT1120 mode, the 16bits CSI data lines should be CSI_D_19 ~ CSI_D_12, CSI_D9 ~ CSI_D_2).

You should check https://community.freescale.com/message/302798#302798

Thanks for your answer

Hi chunxin,

Unfortunately, current Freescale Linux BSP doesn't support 16-bit input through CSI (although the IC supports).

Hi Rogerio,

I am also trying to get video from an FPGA into the imx6 cpu using the CSI0, CSI1 capture ports

- the video I am sending is nominally 1080i, 10-bit, YUV, 4:2:2, with embedded EAV, SAV (no external Hsync, Vsync)

I modified the ov5640 driver to mimic the ov5640 device

I run the following command...

gst-launch -v mfw_v4lsrc ! mfw_v4lsink device=/dev/video16 &

Result is:

- gst-launch runs

- V4LSRC & V4LSINK plug-ins initialised

Message:

- 'Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...'

- 'ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.'

- 'Setting pipeline to NULL ...'

- 'Total rendered:0'

- Freeing pipeline ...

Is there a simpler way to test the CSI Inputs, and get feedback on what they are seeing?

Thanks,

Phil

As additional info, if I run the unit tests

- mxc_v4l2_overlay, mxc_v4l2_capture etc

- I get 'Unable to open /dev/video0'

So, I guess this means that the device is not installed & intialised correctly..

Hello, sorry for reviving such an old post, but we have a similar problem. Did you solved yours eventually, and if so, how?

Thanks

Most likely your device is not getting probed, the driver does not get executed, hence your missing /dev/video0
