Hi all,

Environment :

Board : Jetson AGX Xavier
JetPack : 4.3

We’ve developed a driver for our MIPI-CSI GMSL2 custom camera using an AR0820 as an image sensor, this latter has a resolution of 8 Mpx (3848x2168), we’re able to capture properly with this resolution, but when we set the resolution to 2 Mpx (1920x1080), we have too many glitches during the capture with nvarguscamerasrc

The description below use 8 Mpx (3848x2168) as a resolution

mode0 {/*mode AR0820_MODE_3848X2168_CROP_30FPS*/
					mclk_khz = "24000";
					num_lanes = "4";
					tegra_sinterface = "serial_e";
					discontinuous_clk = "no";
					dpcm_enable = "false";
					cil_settletime = "0";

					dynamic_pixel_bit_depth = "12";
					csi_pixel_bit_depth = "12";
					mode_type = "bayer";
					pixel_phase = "grbg";

					active_w = "3848";
					active_h = "2168";
					readout_orientation = "0";
					line_length = "4440";
					inherent_gain = "1";
					mclk_multiplier = "14.58";
					pix_clk_hz = "296236800";
					serdes_pix_clk_hz = "833333333";

					gain_factor = "1";
					min_gain_val = "1";
					max_gain_val = "15";
					step_gain_val = "1";
					default_gain = "1";
					min_hdr_ratio = "1";
					max_hdr_ratio = "1";
					framerate_factor = "1000000";
					min_framerate = "30000000";
					max_framerate = "30000000";
					step_framerate = "1";
					default_framerate ="30000000";
					exposure_factor ="1000000";
					min_exp_time = "15";
					max_exp_time = "33333";
					step_exp_time = "1";
					default_exp_time = "5454";

					embedded_metadata_height = "0";
				};

I set the new resolution 1920x1080 to be able to capture 2 Mpx as the following

mode0 {/*mode AR0820_MODE_1920X1080_CROP_30FPS*/
					mclk_khz = "24000";
					num_lanes = "4";
					tegra_sinterface = "serial_e";
					discontinuous_clk = "no";
					dpcm_enable = "false";
					cil_settletime = "0";

					dynamic_pixel_bit_depth = "12";
					csi_pixel_bit_depth = "12";
					mode_type = "bayer";
					pixel_phase = "grbg";

					active_w = "1920";
					active_h = "1080";
					readout_orientation = "0";
					line_length = "4440";
					inherent_gain = "1";
					mclk_multiplier = "14.58";
					pix_clk_hz = "296236800";
					serdes_pix_clk_hz = "833333333";

					gain_factor = "1";
					min_gain_val = "1";
					max_gain_val = "15";
					step_gain_val = "1";
					default_gain = "1";
					min_hdr_ratio = "1";
					max_hdr_ratio = "1";
					framerate_factor = "1000000";
					min_framerate = "30000000";
					max_framerate = "30000000";
					step_framerate = "1";
					default_framerate ="30000000";
					exposure_factor ="1000000";
					min_exp_time = "15";
					max_exp_time = "33333";
					step_exp_time = "1";
					default_exp_time = "5454";

					embedded_metadata_height = "0";
				};

Is there other paramters that must be edited to get the 2 Mpx without glitches ?

Thanks.

Did you add corresponding sensor mode(1080p) in sensor driver?

4

@ShaneCCC Can you give an example in another sensor driver where to add the sensor model please ?

5

You can reference to …/kernel/nvidia/drivers/media/i2c/ov5693.c ov5693_mode_tbls.h

HI @ShaneCCC,

Thank you for the support, i’ve seen that there is different sensor modes (resolution) according to the register values in the tables, i have the datasheet of the AR0820, but i’ve only the register table for 3840x2160, can you please suggest documentation in where can i find the register value for AR0820 1920x1080 resolution ?

7

Sorry, can’t help on it.
Please get the datasheet from sensor vendor.

Thanks

Hi @ShaneCCC

I find the register in where to use the wanted resolution, so i implemented a the sensor mode 1920x1080, but it does a croping of an image (It takes only 1920x1080 of 3840x2160), i want only to capture a resized image from 3840x2160, is that theoretically possible ? Is there any way to have a resized image ?

Thanks

Not sure if using nvvidconv to crop to 1080p match your request?

10

@ShaneCCC I want to capture 3848x2168 and resize to 1920x1080 and avoid doing a crop because i need the whole image

11

OK, the aspect ratio of your request is the same then nvvidconv do the downscale to 1080P

@ShaneCCC I want to do a binning to 1080p like it shown in the picture below despite of the cropping

For the binning configuration you need consult with sensor vendor to get the REG configuration to implement new sensor mode.

Thanks
