I’m working on our Xavier carrier for GMSL2 camera support. The camera sensor is
IMX390 and Jetpack is 32.1.0. MAX9295 and MAX9295 are the serializer and deserializer.
We’re using virtual channel support of deserializer.
I’ve gotten 6 camera working simultaneously
using gstreamer. I see see video from
same camera even though sensor-id is different. This happens for sensor-id 0 and 7 and
sensor-id 3 and 4. We’re using a I2C expander and we have the follwoing CSI mapping with I2C
I2C:30 CSI:6-7
I2C:31 CSI:4-5
I2C:32 CSI:2-3
I2C:33 CSI:0-1
I can get raw image using v4l2-ctl from /dev/video0 to /dev/video5
but not from /dev/video6 and /dev/video7. The follwing is crash excerpt
[ 1177.449660] tegra194-vi5 15c10000.vi: no reply from camera processor
[ 1177.449823] tegra194-vi5 15c10000.vi: uncorr_err: request timed out after 2500 ms

[ 1223.138972] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
However, the same sensor works for gstreamer.
Using the combination of gstremer and v4l2-ctl I can ensure that all 8
cameras are functional and I’ve added printk in the driver to print various ID
specific values from device tree and I see all driver instances work
properly. However, I don’t get all of them work simultaneously.
When I use gstreamer I find that the video is coming from the same camera
for sensor-id=0 and sensor-id=7 and gstremaer invoke the same driver instance.
The same happens for sensor-id=3 and sensor-id=4.
I feel like either argus camera daemon does not support eight camera position
for Jepack 32.1.0, can you confirm? Else I’ve incorrect device tree.
I’m attaching the device tree that I think is causing the issue
