IMX477 recognized but cannot capture

womer · November 13, 2022, 9:44am

Hello,

i’m facing a problem with my Xavier NX connected with camarray 4 cameras
after successfully driver installation with replacing cboot file, the device is recognised /dev/video0
and also I2Cdetect is fine.

i tried to replace the same setup with Jetson Nano and it works, so i’m pretty sure there is no problem with my setup.

the errors i get are attached. i tried using:

Any help would be appreciate.

hello womer,

may I also know which JetPack release you’re working on?
please also check Applications Using V4L2 IOCTL Directly to use standard v4l2 IOCTL to verify basic camera functionality.
thanks

womer · November 14, 2022, 6:49am

Hi JerryChang,

I’m working on JetPack 4.6.2
i’ll check this link also
thank you

womer · November 15, 2022, 5:59pm

Hello JerryChang.

I tried to verify basic functionality using :

$ v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=RG10 --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 -d /dev/video0 --stream-to=ov5693.raw

but i get nothing as output. it stucks on the command until i break it.

is there any chance i have to change I2C rate in dtb? i found it somewhere but not sure how and if it is relevant for Jetpack 4.6.2

i also found this bug report:

It looks like i have the same problem but i’m working on IMX477 instead of IMX219
Do you think it could be a firmware issue?

Thank you very much for reply.

JerryChang · November 16, 2022, 3:36am

hello womer,

had you update device tree?
you may check reference driver, which by default used i2cmux for sharing 0x1a, $public_sources/kernel_src/hardware/nvidia/platform/t19x/jakku/kernel-dts/common/tegra194-camera-rbpcv3-imx477.dtsi

womer · November 16, 2022, 5:26am

Hi,

Not sure how i can check the driver for sharing i2cmux
should i flash the jetson again after doing the process of converting dtb to dts and changing the value of i2cmux?

thank you for your help :)

JerryChang · November 17, 2022, 3:13am

hello womer,

it’s your customize camera board with 4-cam, right?
please check reference driver for using i2c_mux. for example, dual IMX219 or dual IMX477.

womer · November 17, 2022, 1:45pm

Hey JerryChang,

Unfortunately Same issue occurs

May you have a look on my dts file. i guess something is wrong or missing. same error after changing IMX477 to 0x1a on both fragment@2 & fragment@5

another question plz :
when converting dts → dtb , should i change the output dtb file name to .dtbo and then replace the file in my host pc directory at : /home/nvidia/…/kernel/dtb and flash it?

hello womer,

this looks incorrect.
for example,
that Lens definition should differ with sensor, please delete thev4l2_lens node if you don’t have that definition.
it looks all your video nodes use the same sysfs path, is this a typo?

	tegra-camera-platform {
		modules {
			module0 {
				badge = "jakku_front_RBP194";

				drivernode0 {
					pcl_id = "v4l2_sensor";
					devname = "imx477 9-0010";
					proc-device-tree = "/proc/device-tree/cam_i2cmux/i2c@1/rbpcv3_imx477_c@1a";

				drivernode1 {
					pcl_id = "v4l2_lens";
					proc-device-tree = "/proc/device-tree/cam_i2cmux/i2c@1/rbpcv3_imx477_c@1a";


			module1 {
				badge = "jakku_rear_RBP194";

				drivernode0 {
					pcl_id = "v4l2_sensor";
					devname = "imx477 10-0010";
					proc-device-tree = "/proc/device-tree/cam_i2cmux/i2c@1/rbpcv3_imx477_c@1a";

				drivernode1 {
					pcl_id = "v4l2_lens";
					proc-device-tree = "/proc/device-tree/cam_i2cmux/i2c@1/rbpcv3_imx477_c@1a";
