Question about modified camera v4l2 driver for deserialize MAX9286

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TX1
#1

Hi. Sorry to bother you.
We are all beginner of camera v4l2 driver in TX1.Code modified from ov5693_v4l2.c.
We have connected camera path like as "Sony IMX224 --> (MIPI/bayer)–>Sony 5700 ISP -->(Parallel/YUV422 8 bits)–>MAX96705(serializer)–>MAX9286 (deserializer MIPI)->TX1(MIPI)；

when the configuration of MAX9286 corresponds to what you put in the config file of the tegra as follow:
static struct tegra_camera_platform_data
t210ref_max9286_solo_camera_platform_data = {
.flip_v = 0,
.flip_h = 0,
.port = TEGRA_CAMERA_PORT_CSI_E,
.lanes = 4,
.continuous_clk = 1,
};
we can capture one picture correctly, but there some errors, and the system si hang, such as:

we can’t capture nothing, and there some errors, such as:

Please help to analyze the reasons for the above errors, and put forward some help and suggestions.Thank you.

The CSI/VI report some error status, that means your sensor output signal may have problem to capture frame.
You can reference to below topic to measure the MIPI signal to make it working.

Thank you,friends! The max9286 works well,now! I can see the right image!But the image is 5120720.I want to change it to 25601440!

Hi @haijun,

Are you using TX1? Have you tried using the same driver and setup in the TX2?

When you capture from the MAX9286 using 4 cameras and a resolution of 5120*720, what is the framerate you are getting and configuring in the driver?

Thanks,
