iMX6Q - Capturing two MIPI-CSI camera streams

[martin_lovric]

Hello,

I'm trying to enable two MIPI-CSI video streams on iMX6Q. Diagram bellow shows the HW setup.

Since we're using newer BSP version (4.1.15), I've ported changes from patches included here:
https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors-Knowledge-Base/iMX6DQ-MAX9286-MIPI-CSI2-720P-camera-sur....

The stream from VC1 (/dev/video1) is visible with some artifacts appearing on screen, but the stream from VC0 (/dev/video0) is not.

Does anyone have an idea how to debug this issue to determine in which segment of the pipeline is the stream stuck and why? Is it the Camera hub, MIPI-CSI2 receiver, CSI2IPU gasket, IPU1 mux, etc...

Additional info:
Baseboard: Custom
SoM: Toradex Apalis iMX6Q
OS: Yocto based custom Linux
Kernel version: 4.14.117

BR!

I managed to get second stream working by avoiding IPU MUX elements, instead of VC0 I used VC2, the problem remains why VC0 doesn't work.

FYI: In driver I have enabled CSI input for IPU1 mux:

regmap_update_bits(gpr, IOMUXC_GPR1, 3 << 19, 0 << 19);

>is it your typo? do you mean change VC1 to VC2, not VC0, right? pls check the debug document for imx6 mipi camera

No. I've attached the pictures which explain the situation

thank you for the doc, I'll take a look at it
