about 16bit YUV422 in i.MX 8QXP

[carolyn_zhang]

Hi,

My camera output is 16bit YUV422, the code stream format is UYVY. The parallel data is 8 bit, so I had to enable 2-clock/pixel. So, I set mxc_isi_src_formats as

{
  .name  = "YUV16 (X-Y-U-V)",
  .fourcc  = V4L2_PIX_FMT_UYVY,
  .depth  = { 8, 8 },
  .memplanes = 2,
  .colplanes = 2,
 }

However, it looks like the kernel did not support this kind of camera output. Now the picture I got is in green color. And it is useless to change the polarity of HSYNC and VSYNC. I used to change the value of PLM_CTRL, then I could not get display any more.

Could some one give me some advices about this? How could I get the memory address of camera data sent by ISI? I saw 'only support one plane' in function mxc_isi_channel_set_m2m_src_addr, should '2 plane support' be what I need?

Thanks.

Hi, Igor,

I am confused now. The imx8qxp RM ISI chapter said:

   The ISI includes the following features:

   • Stream Multiplexing

      • Writes YUV planar and semi-planar formats to Memory

   • Stream Manipulation Features

      • Supported Pixel Formats when storing image into memory
         • YUV444, YUV422, YUV420 (8-bit, 10-bit, 12-bit)

As we know, there are 2 formats for YUV, one is packed, the other is planar. So the YUC planar means there are 3 planes, Y, U, and V. If a driver support one plane only, does it mean that what the driver support is packed?

Thanks.

I had the same problem. Have you solved it?

Hi Carolyn

for testing one can look at camera unit test code

mx8_v4l2_cap_drm.c\mxc_v4l2_test\test - imx-test - i.MX Driver Test Application Software 

mx8_v4l2_cap_drm.c is the camera unit test code, one can capture ISI output image
into a file. Run command: mx8_v4l2_cap_drm -cam 1 -fmt 1 -of

Best regards
igor

Hi, Bert,

The ISI chapter say 'Writes YUV planar and semi-planar formats to Memory'. It looks like my camera output format is YUV semi-planar. My code stream is 8 8 UYVY. In my opinion, semi-planar meets the driver should support 2 planar, but the kernel is only support one planar now. I think that is why I received green image.

Could you please give me some advices? Thanks.

The imx8qxp image capture subsystem does not support 16bits per color component.
Please refer to the imx8qxp RM isi chapter.
