We use the FPGA for HDMI video to MIPI CSI, video format YUV422, resolution 3840x2160xP30.
HDMI video 3840x2160xP30 → FPGA → MIPI CSI 4 Lanes / YUV420 Normal
The FPGA convert the HDMI video into MIPI CSI format and is connected to MIPI CSI interface 4 Lanes(CSI A, CSI B) of Xavier
As below block diagram:

Accoding to Jetson L4T Camera BringUp

I Boost the clock for debug.

sudo su
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/bpmp/debug/clk/vi/mrq_rate_locked
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/bpmp/debug/clk/isp/mrq_rate_locked
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/bpmp/debug/clk/nvcsi/mrq_rate_locked
cat /sys/kernel/debug/bpmp/debug/clk/vi/max_rate |tee /sys/kernel/debug/bpmp/debug/clk/vi/rate

cat /sys/kernel/debug/bpmp/debug/clk/nvcsi/max_rate | tee /sys/kernel/debug/bpmp/debug/clk/nvcsi/rate

and enable the csi debug message from below command, and use v4l2-ctl to verify the driver first.

But I get CHANSEL_NOMATCH=0x00000309 in trace log (see trace_log_3840x2160xP30_20210923_01.txt)

CHANSEL_NOMATCH channel:0x01 frame:0 vi_tstamp:2906933321 data:0x00000309
bit 0 no_match= 1
bit 1-4 CTYPE= 0x4 = LS
bit 5-10 DTYPE= 24 = NvCsiDataType_YUV420_8

May I to konw how to analyze the CHANSEL_NOMATCH root cause?

hello SammyChenTw,

you may try to configure it as 10-bits for testing,
for example, csi_pixel_bit_depth= "10"

BTW,
there’re some dynamic_debug are not used by Xavier’s drivers,
you may simply enable vi-5 and csi-5 to gather the necessary debug logs.

If I configure the csi_pixel_bit_depth= "10" in device tree,
What’s action I need to do in FPGA driver?

hello SammyChenTw,

csi_pixel_bit_depth in the device tree define the bits of the stream. so you’ll need to configure FPGA to output 10-bits.
