v4l2 timestamp issure

Hi, Team:
In vi5_fops.c, I modifyed line 422 like this:

/* Read SOF from capture descriptor */
	ts = ns_to_timespec((s64)descr->status.sof_timestamp);
	get_monotonic_boottime(&tsa);
	printk("sec: %ld,nsec: %ld\n camerta sec: %ld,nsec: %ld\n", tsa.tv_sec, tsa.tv_nsec, ts.tv_sec, ts.tv_nsec);

And then ts is 6 seconds longer than tsa. And i checked the cboot booting time in serial console just 6s,
So how can we make the timestamp synchronization?
Help.guys.it’s important for sensor fusion!

hello xuhui1.wang,

may I know which JetPack release you’re working with.
BTW, please also refer to similar discussion thread, such as Topic 1058122, and Topic 1056202 for reference.
thanks

Hi,JerryChang,
I am using jetpack42.2.2.So we need use the delta time right,/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/offset_ns .

thanks

hello xuhui1.wang,

please refer to below to demonstrate how to check the timestamp.
offset_ns is used to calculate the capture timestamp from system time.
you might also check below example for offset_ns to compensate the capture timestamp.

root@tegra-ubuntu:~# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/offset_ns
9045955168

to add debug prints to gather kernel time.

diff --git a/drivers/media/platform/tegra/camera/vi/vi5_fops.c b/drivers/media/platform/tegra/camera/vi/vi5_fops.c

you’ll see kernel log as following

[  128.924693] Jerry vi5_capture_dequeue timestamp= 137.483546848

which means, you’ll need to compensate the timestamp as below, it should be pretty close.
128.924693 + 9045955168(ns) ~= 137.483546848

Thanks very much!
