iMX8M Plus GMSL2 camera support

[sudarkb]

We are trying to bring up GMSL2 in IMX8MP board.

We have written the driver for this, and the platform is able detect the video node while the driver is loaded.

While checking the camera preview with the below command, I am not seeing any preview in the display. But there are no error messages.

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=YUYV ! videoconvert ! autovideosink

Also tried checking the frames with the command,

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 --stream-mmap and no frames are seen.

I have already validated the mipi data from sensor,serializer and deserializer and it is as expected.

Below is the output of media-ctl command (video1 is the camera),
root@imx8mp-var-dart:/unit_tests/V4L2# media-ctl -p

Media controller API version 5.10.52

Kindly, advice on this.

Hi @sudarkb, 

Thank you for contacting NXP Support.

Since you are implementing your own driver and using a different board instead of our EVK. It is difficult for us to try to replicate the problem and give you feedback about the issue.
Could you please provide more information about your hardware setup and your camera model?

Have a great day!

Thanks @brian14  for the reply.

We were able to fix this issue. But we are facing corruption in the preview for which another query has been raised,

Can you let us know how proceed with the corruption?
