OV5640 on i.mx7 can't capture high resolution picture/video

[richard_hu]

Hello, guys:

When I test the OV5640 camera on i.mx7, it always hangs when it captures the picture with the resolution higher than 640x480.

The test image is based on Yocto Jethro that NXP provides. The kernel is linux imx  4.1.15_2.0.0_ga which is also from NXP.

The test command to capture 1920x1080 picture is as below:

# GST_DEBUG=2,*imx*:9 gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2src device=/dev/video1 num_buffers=1 ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1
 ! jpegenc quality=100 idct-method=2 ! filesink location=test.jpg

The log of gst-lauch is as below, and it hangs on the last line of log:

I'm not sure if this issue results from gstreamer plugin "imxv4l2src" or camera capture driver "mx6s_capture.c", "ov5640_mipi.c".   (I suspect more on "mx6s_capture.c".)

I have tried to capture 1920x1080 picture on i.mx6, and it works fine.
As I know the capture driver for i.mx6 and i.mx7 is different.(Because i.mx6 is with IPU, and i.mx7 only has PXP)

Do you have any ideas or suggestions how i fix this problem?

BR,

Richard

Hi Richard..

I also same problem. 1920_1080 

Did you solve problem?

If u have a time.. reply, how to solve that .

[igorpadykov]

Hi Richard

one can try ov5647 driver: linux/drivers/media/platform/mxc/subdev/ov5647_mipi.c

for usage of such driver may be useful to check similar case
