IMX6Q IPU2 seems to be slower

[guna007]

I am able to capture image through second Parallel port with IPU2. But the image capture seems to be very slower. With the same image sensor with parallel 1 and IPU1, we are able to getting 50 - 60 fps but with parallel 2 and IPU2 we are achieving only 4 - 5 fps.

Is there any clock setting has to be done for IPU2?

FYI, I am using HDMI display as well which uses IPU2.

Igor,

The value of GPR7(for IPU2) is 0x007F007F which is set through u-boot configuration. What should be the value for this register if priority has to be set high for IPU2 (QoS).

And, I tried disabling the HDMI and it's of no use.

Thank you,

Guna

Hi Gunasekaran

one can set GPR7 for IPU2 the same as for IPU1.

Also one can check bus load using memory profile tool

mmdc2 which included in imx-test package (../test/mmdc).

Igor,

I have tried setting the same value for GPR7 but it's of no use.

And the output of the mmdc profiling tool when the capture is running is as follows,

i.MX6Q detected.

Hi Gunasekaran

this may be caused by high load on IPU2 buses so for test one

can try to disable hdmi. Also one can check IPU QoS settings

in IOMUXC_GPR6.

Hi Sir,

          The value of GPR6 and GPR7 all setting are 0x007F007F .

Uboot have comment  "/* set IPU AXI-id0 Qos=0xf(bypass) AXI-id1 Qos=0x7 */" . 

Why should this register only set ID00 to bypass? Why ID1 is 0x7 ?

Thanks!
