imx6: fingerprint as a Camera and ov5640 at the same board.

[fernando_mercad]

Hi,

I´m using an imx6q with android Oreo 8.0 and I want to get a sensor fingerprint works as a Camera and the camera ov5640 without problems.

I mean:

## On Linux I have v4l2_cap_0 mapping the fingerprint to video0 and i2c-2, for the v4l2_cap_1 is mapping ov564x_mipi to video1 and i2c-0:

v4l2_cap_0 -----> video0 fingerprint ---------> i2c-2 (video0)

         |
imx6q-v4l2-capture

v4l2_cap_1 -----> video1 ov564x_mipi -------> i2c-0 (video1)
         |
imx6q-v4l2-capture

## In the device tree I have this:

i2c3 ------> fingerprint (csi_id = 0)
i2c1 ------> ov564x_mipi (csi_id = 1)

fingerprint -----> v4l2_cap_0 ------> csi_id = 0
ov5640 -----> v4l2_cap_1 ------> csi_id = 1

But I can´t get it works.

This is my output through ADB shell:

We can see above, the two cameras are found, but when I start the default app for the camera I get; "Can´t connect to the camera". But the app for the fingerprint it works without problem.

Perhaps, with some "sepolicy" it could be resolve, however I'm not sure.

Can someone help me, or give some advice please?.

Regards,

Thanks.

Hi Igor, 

About the commands, I can't try with these, cause my board is custom then it don't have those commands.

But, thanks so much for your help.

Do you know, What could I try more?

Regards.
