hi

I connected my eCAM50IMX6 to Nitrogen6x board but I cant see its frames on the screen...

I get the following errors:

***************

mxc_v4l_open: Mxc Camera no sensor ipu0/csi0

mxc_v4l_open: Mxc Camera no sensor ipu0/csi1

mxc_v4l_open: Mxc Camera no sensor ipu1/csi1

DISP3 BG ():mxc_v4l_open: Mxc Camera no sensor ipu0/csi0

        /dev/video16

        /dev/video17

Failed to open /dev/video0: Resource temporarily unavailable

*****************

during the boot it also written that the ov5640 is not found

but I also get the following lines during boot:

mxc_mipi_csi2 21dc000.mipi_csi: i.MX MIPI CSI2 driver probed

mxc_mipi_csi2 21dc000.mipi_csi: i.MX MIPI CSI2 dphy version is 0x3130302a

MIPI CSI2 driver module loaded

MIPI DSI driver module loaded

can anyone please explain me what is the problem.. I mean I have the hardware plugged in and also the kernel loaded the driver so what else I need?

I have same issue for my ov5645 camera and additional timings in ov5645_mipi.c doesn't help :smileysad:

hi Omar & Yuri

first thank you guys for the help!!

I will not be next to my board for few days but I promise to follow up your steps and update you...
BTW  Omar, I do using this kernel version and  I am quiet sure that my i2c is disabled. if this is indeed the case, how do I make i2c work?

Regards

Hi,

There is a function called ov5640_read_reg in ov5640_mipi.c file.

Due to some timing issues, this function returns an error when it tries to read some registers in the camera. The problem that you are facing is similar to the one that we had and we changed the function to do the following (by replacing the existing loop):

retval = i2c_master_send(ov5640_data.i2c_client, au8RegBuf, 2);

    while (2 != retval) {

        // pr_err("%s:write reg error:reg=%x **********************************************\n", __func__, reg);

        // pr_err("Retrying...\n");

        msleep(200);

        retval = i2c_master_send(ov5640_data.i2c_client, au8RegBuf, 2);

        //return -1;

    }

    retval = i2c_master_recv(ov5640_data.i2c_client, &u8RdVal, 1);

    while (1 != retval) {

        // pr_err("%s:read reg error:reg=%x,val=%x **********************************************\n", __func__, reg, u8RdVal);

        // pr_err("Retrying...\n");

        msleep(200);

        retval = i2c_master_recv(ov5640_data.i2c_client, &u8RdVal, 1);

        //return -1;

    }

The main change as compared to the existing loop is the introduction of msleep and putting this read/write into a while loop till it is successful.

You may try the same change and see if it is useful for you to overcome the error.

Best Wishes

if it says OV5640 not found, this is the first item to solve.

please check the coherence of the connector.

1) power supply: about that check if your ov5640 board has the core supply regulator or if you nedd to modify the driver to activate the internal one.

2) clk: check if your boad nedd an extetrnal oscillator (so check if the clk from pwm is routed to the correct pin )

3) I2C address, OV5640 has 2 possible I2C address, pelase check how you r board is configured and check if it is coherent with the DTS file.

Hi,

which kernel are you using?

if you ar using the 3.10.17 please check the DTS,

can you please post the DTS where you enable an load video capture device and sensor.

and also the dmesg. about V4L2 capture device and sensor.

Thanks

Omar
