TC358743 HDMI input only compatible for IMX devices on IMX6QP

[mayqueen]

OS: Android 6.0.1
Kernel: 4.1.15

Hello, I use TC358743 on IMX6QP platform, and I refer kernel driver from boundary devices, it works! But I also found a big problem - it works only for source from IMX devices ( I tested IMX6Q, IMX6SoloX and IMX6DL), but when I connecting the normal devices such as DVD, set up box or other SBC, it cannot show anything!

I think maybe the IMX6 CSI2 signal only accept the special format? Please someone can give me some directions, if it is IMX limitation, it's no problem, I don't want to spend to much time find the root cause.

Thank you so much!

Hello,shiguang liu

    I'm glad to see that you mentioned that you successed  porting  tc358749 module  on linux and  get correct image.

    Now I am  porting the tc358749 on imx8mq , with Linux (yocto) and Android 9, but none of them work, 

   This Linux version: Linux 4.14.78_1.0.0, The driver is modified according to kernel source /drivers/media/I2C/tc358743.c, but tc358749 not work

I cost many time ,but the tc358749 can not work

Can you give some suggestions on how portting tc358749 module on Linux or Android system;

Hi,

It worked on Nitrogen6_MAX with the TC358743 daugher board with many input devices (STB, BR player etc...).

However, Android doesn't support dynamically changing the resolution though, so it your source starts in one resolution and then changes it can bring some issues.

Regards,

Gary

HI Gary 

OS: Android 6.0.1_2.1.0

i try to porting tc358749  on android 6. but i meet some errors

 I refer framework & hardware setting from boundary devices, when i open the camera .

i face the no signal on screen. and the logcat show below.

Could you give me some directions ?

hi  warren jan

I have the same erros on porting tc358749.

os: android9.0

hardware: imx8mmevk

can you give me some advice.

thanks

[warrenjan]

HI Shiguang,

i didn't porting tc358749 on android 9.0 of imx8m , sorry .

but you can poritng the linux based to verify the tc358749 driver  first.

and check the ov5640 mipi csi android hal & framework source code.

hi warren

thanks for your replay.

i will try it on linux first.

Hi NXP

Android:6.0.1

kernel: 4.1.15

I have this issue as well, I using HiKey board as input souce(kernel detect 720P), but I found resolution of camera hal is wrong resolution, so that I can not show video at application. And I test the Udoo neo board(imx6 soloX), the kernel detect it 720p, and the camera hal gets the correct resolution, then the upper application can show video data. I refer the tc358743 datasheet frome this
http://html.alldatasheet.com/html-pdf/540488/TOSHIBA/TC358743/295/1/TC358743.html 


What it means about "some Application Processor have limitations is handling video data as an input source?"
Does this case of tc358743 driver from Boundary Device only support imx6 soc has relation with HDMI-RX-Interface support format??
