tx2 - Camera mipi timing and PXL_SOF

Shane, this is another issue not the previous one, the previous one is fixed by modify dtsi file , this is PXL_SOF
issue . Can you help to identify some direction ? I 've tried all comibination of ths-settle or clk-settle .

set discontinous_clk have the same result .

Does v4l2-ctl working well?

Nope , this is the v4l2-ctl result.

On tx1 it works well , but on tx2 it is not. I searched through the forum on PIX_SOF issue , and tried all methods mentioned in post.

CRC issue is a common issue, it can be caused by:
• Sensor TX side send bad pixe/crc value.
• SI quality of the CSI channel.

Below patch to disable payload CRC error check. And this sensor need modify embedded_metadata_height = “4”;
After this the v4l2-ctl should be able capture well.

Still no luck, the result is full of

[ 34.746302] tegra-vi4 15700000.vi: PXL_SOF syncpt timeout! err = -11.

We tried different embedded_metadata_height = 0 , 1,2,4 . Actually , from the sensor data sheet, the default
value will be 2 lines in the head and 2 lines in the tail . But if we disable or enable it , and with all
combinations of embedded_metadata_height . The result all have syncpt timeout.

The same code and config behaves well in tx1.

Does the trace still show CSIMUX_FRAME?

Still report the crc error looks like the crc mask didn’t set.
Have a read and print out those message to check.

Just ensure the crc mask work and device tree ok.
Now there is no syncpt timeout error , following is the trace

However, the raw captured only have a few lines in the top , and others all black. Possible cause ? The values in devices tree like pix_clk_hz, mclk_multiplier is the same that worked in tx1.

Could you try the color pattern.

I mean the raw data , not pass ISP pipe line, is whole black, it shall not related to the color pattern.

Yes, I know not pass to ISP however still please set the sensor output color pattern to verify.

We changed the color pattern values, there is no difference on the result.
The weird thing we found is that we can only set embedded_metadata_height = “1”, we could have
output image instead of all black, and on this case , there is still timeout log. And from the
sensor datasheet, current we shall have embedded_metadata_height = “2”, is correct.

My config is embedded_metadata_height = “4” there’s no problem for me.
Did you build this sensor by yourself or buy it from vendor?

Can you share me your mode table for the sensor ?
What is value for register 0x3064 , Set it or leave it as default. We build the sensor board ourself.

And can you share me your device tree settings ?

Changed to the device tree and mode table, we could get raw image data. However, Seems some artifact in the
center, not quite sure if it is data corruption. Does your image correct under this configuration ?

A weird thing is that from the sensor data sheet R0x3064 -1802 does not mean 4 lines embeded data,but excluded embeddd data. We will confirm with sensor, and does your sensor mode table comes from them directly. It is quite different of yours and ours.
