We have a system with 4 simultaneous video streams ( 2 YUYV + 2 GREY) flowing via MIPI from our FPGA to the i.mx6q (linux 3.14.38+). On the two YUYV channels (which are captured to NV12) we occasionally observe torn imaging in the lower half of the image, as though a cache line is bad, or a DMA operation is in progress. When we insert a delay after capture, the problem disappears. It looks to me like ipu_csi_enc is simply getting a callback before the entire IDMAC conversion (YUYV -> NV21) is complete, but I don't have deep enough knowledge of the IPU to know what to look at. I did try forcing cache invalidates after capture and that did nothing.
Can anyone suggest a theory as to what could be going wrong and how to correct it (a sleep after frame capture is not acceptable). What I am looking for is how to verify whether the IPU's interrupt logic is set up to fire at the correct time.
Here is a sample showing the kind of vsync/hsync jumping that I am calling tearing:
Thanks!
