CSI pixel parser issue

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TK1

Hello,

We can receive and display Toshiba TC358746XBG 720p YUV422 8-bit color bar image correctly.

We started to use OV10633 via Toshiba TC358746XBG to transfer real camera 720p YUV422 8-bit image.
But we faced CSI_A syncpt timeout issue as follow,

After TK1 received 2~4 frames then CSI_CSI_PIXEL_PARSER_A_STATUS and VI_CSI_0_ERROR_STATUS display error. According to TK1 TRM, it looks loke image size issue. But we confirmed with OV and Toshiba, the OV10633 and TC358746XBG output 720p image size correctly. I’m getting confuse, why color bar OK but ov10633 NG. Is this dunny pixel or blanking issue? Do we need to adjust MIPI-CSI parameters? Do I miss something? How to overcome the issue? Thanks.

Did nVConan’s response at https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/939520/jetson-tk1/jetsontk1-soc_camera-driver-problem/post/4904868/#4904868 resolve this issue for you?

Hello, ctichenor,
Thanks for your reply.

Yes. We are still adjusting Toshiba TC358746XBG register table to meet TK1 MIPI-CSI input.
Recently, the TK1 didn’t responsed any error message but the image is wrong. Maybe I miss something.

BTW, until yesterday my Jetson TK1 was working fine. Today when the power is plugged in it but the fan couldn’t spinning and nothing working. Nothing on the serial port or the HDMI port. I checked the power supply, it’s still giving 12V, but TK1 won’t power on.
Is there any hardware issue or power manager broken ?

Near the top of this link is the RMA procedure…it sounds like hardware failure:
