Support RG16 pixel format

Hi,
I’m using JP 4.5.1. My image sensor supports 16bits RGGB bayer format.
In device tree mode, I defined:

					dynamic_pixel_bit_depth = "16";
					csi_pixel_bit_depth = "16";
					mode_type = "bayer";
					pixel_phase = "rggb";

I also added some code in tegra camera

But v4l2-ctl only recognizes RG12 format, which is one mode of the 5 modes I have.

Can you please guide me how to make the video device recognizes both RG12 and RG16 pixel format?
Based on this format, I can choose relevant mode.

Thank you.

hello HnilND,

Raw16 is not support by Nano series. it’s Xavier or later Jetson series support Raw16.

Thank you @JerryChang . How about TX2NX? Does it support RAW16?

I don’t know the reason, but I think RAW16 is more light weight (in term of processing power) compare to RAW12? RAW12 need to unpack, extend to 16bit per pixel, but it looks like RAW16 can be used directly?

hello HnilND,

TX2NX also not support Raw16.
actually, you should check TRM for the memory allocation types, it uses T_R16_I as Raw memory formats.
as you can see in the [27.10.6 RAW Memory Formats] session, it supports up-to Raw14.

Thank you for the clarification.
