GMSL1 decoding error (2) on touching Sekonix camera

I tried using Sekonix camera(./nvsipl_camera -c SF3325_CPHY_x2 --showfps --enableRawOutput --runfor 600 --link-enable-masks "0x0000 0x0000 0x0000 0x0001") and then touched it in the middle of the process. This causes this error:
nvmedia: ERROR: MAX96712: Link 0: GMSL1 decoding error (2)
libnvsipl.so: CNvMCamera.cpp: 309: OnLinkError: DeviceBlock 0 encountered link errors. Link Mask:1
nvsipl_camera: ERROR: Pipeline: 12, NOTIF_ERROR_DESER_LINK_FAILURE

Any idea on why this happens and how we can avoid it? Because I face this GMSL decoding error sometimes without touching the camera(this time imx390 sensor) and I want to have a better understanding of what happens:
nvmedia: ERROR: MAX96712: Link 0: GMSL2 decoding error (1)
libnvsipl.so: CNvMCamera.cpp: 309: OnLinkError: DeviceBlock 0 encountered link errors. Link Mask:1

Dear @ebrahim4o8qh,
Is there any loose connection to the board. I am wondering why touching a camera would cause an error?

3

There’s no loose connection. It is always reproducible on all boards.

4

Dear @ebrahim4o8qh ,
Could you confirm the used camera module and connection details for reproducing on our end? Also, please share complete logs

Hi @ebrahim4o8qh ,

Could you try to use the devkit on which driveworks camera samples worked well in the topic as a reference to clarify if the issue is specific to specific Sekonix AR0231 GMSL Camera, Fakra Coax Cable and Quad Camera Breakout Cable, port or devkit? Thanks.

Dear @ebrahim4o8qh
Can you provide any update?

7

Have this system ever been used in a vehicle? Thanks.

8

Sorry for late response. I faced different result in the afternoon of that day. Maybe it is static electricity’s effect? Did anyone else have similar experience?

9

Is there any best practice manual on using the hardware? for instance what type of power regulator to use? how to prevent static electricity’s effect?..
