imx8mp CSI camera

[robert_pasz]

Hi, my name is Robert Pasz. I am trying to bring up Basler camera daA3840-30mc with imx8mp SoC. I am successful when camera is connected to mipi_csi_0. But it looks that there is a serious problem with mipi_csi_1 interface. I have a custom board with both interfaces routed to the connector. Interface mipi_csi_0 is routed as 4 lane and mipi_csi_1 is in 2 lane configuration. I have tested these interfaces with another camera from Basler - daA4200-30mci. This camera worked without any issue with both interfaces.

This is not a case for daA3840-30mc. This camera needs ISP from the SoC. Configuration for mipi_csi_0 is ok but configuration for mipi_csi_1 failed.

My dtb config for daA3840 is (excerpt)

&i2c2 {
     status = "okay";

     /delete-node/ov5640_mipi@3c;

    basler_camera_vvcam@36 {
        compatible = "basler,basler-camera-vvcam", "basler-camera-vvcam";
        reg = <0x36>;
        csi_id = <0x01>;
        status = "okay";
        port {
             basler_ep_0: endpoint {
                 data-lanes = <1 2>;
                 clock-lanes = <0>;
                 link-frequencies = /bits/ 64 <248000000>;
                 remote-endpoint = <&mipi_csi1_ep>;
             };
        };
    };
};

&mipi_csi_1 {
    status = "okay";
    #address-cells = <1>;
    #size-cells = <0>;

    port@1 {
        reg = <1>;
        mipi_csi1_ep: endpoint {
            remote-endpoint = <&basler_ep_0>;
            data-lanes = <2>;
            csis-hs-settle = <26>;
        };
    };
};

&cameradev {
    status = "okay";
};

&isp_1 {
    status = "okay";
};

&dewarp_1 {
    status = "okay";
};

When I am look to media config using media-ctl I can see this configuration

And finally the status of imx8-isp.service:

Audit from the kernel says that service exited with signal 11 - SIGSEGV (segmentation fault)

Did anybody hit to the same issue?

Thanks

how about setting data lane to 4? did you try to set mipi csi 2 as mipi csi 1 in dts file?
