Hi!
I’ve been reading about Lidar Camera Synchronization in the forum but it’s not clear to me what can be done via software.
What we want to do is to trigger the cameras based on the angle at which the lidar scan is facing. I read in the documentation:
“SoC generates a PWM signal on a GPIO pin that is connected to all deserializers. This common PWM signal is then forwarded to all 16 GMSL cameras to achieve frame synchronization.”
I have seen these posts about the topic: Time sync across cameras + triggering other sensors e.g. lidar - #9 by SivaRamaKrishnaNV
Lidar Camera hardware trigger - #2 by v.hieplc
How to synchronize camera with lidar?
The conclusion is that “It is not possible to access GPIO which generates PWM signal connected to all deserializers.”
Is there anything that can be done via software to achieve this Camera-Lidar Synchronization?
Thanks,
S.
