vi2 channel error while streaming MT9M021

EV1 · June 28, 2017, 4:05pm

I have a MT9M021 based camera with a MIPI bridge connected to a TXI through an ConnectTech Elroy carrier board. I am able to detect the sensor but when I attempt to stream from camera, I obtain challel error:

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080 --set-ctrl bypass_mode=0 --set-ctrl gain=10 --set-ctrl exposure=100025 --set-ctrl sensor_mode=254 --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 --stream-to=f0.raw

Error is :

hello EV,

according to your v4l2-ctl -V information.
you had request image resolution larger than sensor capability.
could you please try to access camera with default v4l2-ctl settings.
for example:

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 --stream-to=test.raw

It doesn’t really help. I am getting the same error.

hello EV,

may i have more information about your environment?

which JetPack version you’re using
is vi-bypass mode workable? (for example. nvgstcapture-1.0 or gst-launch-1.0)

EV1 · June 30, 2017, 9:02pm

Hi Jerry,

I am using Jetpack v24.2.1
I tried nvgstcapture-1.0 (without any argument. This is the output I receive:

ubuntu@tegra-ubuntu:~$ nvgstcapture
nvgstcapture      nvgstcapture-1.0

I see that we have the same channel error in the dmesg log. Let me know if you have any suggestions for debug codes, etc.

I tried to log the function entries in csi.c and csi_fops.c. Also tried to force dev_dbg prints from these files. Here is the log during an attempt to stream using v4l2-ctl.
Command:

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 --stream-to=test.raw

hello EV,

according to your logs, seems you always got 0x4022 failure comes from csi side.
please double check the sensor driver, confirm you had correct settings of pixel parser and CIL configuration.

BTW, you could also refer to the csi2_error() function at kernel/drivers/media/platform/tegra/csi/csi2_fops.c to have more information. thanks

EV1 · July 5, 2017, 7:47am

In the meanwhile when I verify the configuration, can you please let me know what channel error 0x22 means. We observe this in one of our other setups. Is it the same as 0x4022? How is it different?

Thanks
EV

JerryChang · July 6, 2017, 8:45am

hello EV,

you could refer to the Tegra X1 (SoC) Technical Reference Manual
http://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/dlc/tegra-x1-technical-reference-manual

share the CSI error reporting code snippet as below,
you could search the register name to understand the bit description.
thanks

val = csi2_pp_read(port, TEGRA_CSI_PIXEL_PARSER_STATUS);
        err |= val & 0x4000;
        csi2_pp_write(port, TEGRA_CSI_PIXEL_PARSER_STATUS, val);

        val = csi2_cil_read(port, TEGRA_CSI_CIL_STATUS);
        err |= val & 0x02;
        csi2_cil_write(port, TEGRA_CSI_CIL_STATUS, val);

        val = csi2_cil_read(port, TEGRA_CSI_CILX_STATUS);
        err |= val & 0x00020020;
        csi2_cil_write(port, TEGRA_CSI_CILX_STATUS, val);

EV1 · July 6, 2017, 9:43am

Hi Jerry,
I will look into the manual to get more insight into what’s happening.

Anyhow, I tried changing some register writes to the MIPI bridge chip and changing the Pixel array dimension from 1280x720 to 1280x960 after which I observe that the error 0x4022 changed to 0x20022.
It seems like I fixed the pixel parser error, but still have CIL errors. I am not sure what parameters define the CIL configurations. It would be great if you could give me some guidance as to what kind of parameters I should be looking into.

While runnning v4l2 based streaming, I observe couple of syncpt timeouts as well, with a bit in pixel parser error set. Detailed logs below:

Hi Jerry,

Do you have any suggestions as to how we can fix this issue. I couldn’t get rid of this error yet.

JerryChang · July 10, 2017, 9:50am

hello EV,

this should be my guessing, which CSI port you had connected to?
had you try to enable the corresponding dpd I/O pads ?
thanks

EV1 · July 10, 2017, 9:57am

Hi Jerry,

Thank you for the prompt response.
I am currently using CSI port A. The buffer chip is configured to communicate using 2-lanes.
I haven’t tried enabling the dpd I/O pads. Do you have any reference on how I can check whether they are already enabled/or about how I can enable them?

Thanks for the support!

JerryChang · July 10, 2017, 10:10am

hello EV,

sorry, the information was not correct. only TK1 need to enable dpd i/o pads manually.
BTW, since you’re developing the MIPI bridge driver.
i would suggest you refer to Toshiba UH2C/D HDMI-CSI bridge driver as below path. thanks

Hi Jerry,

I had actually gone through their implementation while trying to debug this issue.
The sequence to configure the MIPI bridge is already available with me, which I program into the chip before enabling the stream.
The setup is similar to the one discussed here https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/993852/mt9m021-streaming/ except that he has a buffer chip between the TX1 and MIPI bridge. The interesting thing is he was able to stream using his code, while on out setup we couldn’t reproduce this result(well, the buffer chip isn’t present in ours).

I am not sure how having a buffer chip makes the difference. In addition, I would like to know whether there is a method which allows to dump whatever comes into the CSI port so that we can debug.

JerryChang · July 10, 2017, 11:44am

hello EV,

is it possible for you to generate the test pattern from the bridge?
also, could you help to measure the hardware signal to confirm the status?
thanks

EV1 · July 11, 2017, 8:44am

The bridge chip doesn’t have any inbuilt test pattern generation capability as far as I know. We measured the hardware signals and see signal on the MIPI lanes while running yavta. Is there any specific streaming command which you like to suggest?

JerryChang · July 12, 2017, 6:32am

hello EV,

both yavta and v4l2-ctl would be useful tools to confirm the raw dump.
could you help check the CSI_PHY_CIL_COMMAND_0 register value while running this tools. please refer to the attachment.
you should able to use 3rdparty tool (devmem2) to read the register value.
thanks

EV1 · July 12, 2017, 9:39am

I tried to read the CSI_PHY_CIL_COMMAND_0 register while running v4l2-ctl and here is the output.
Please check whether I am reading the right register. I found the CSI base address to be 0x54080000 and used the word offset 0x908 to read the register.

ubuntu@tegra-ubuntu:~/debug/devmem2$ sudo ./devmem2 0x54080908
/dev/mem opened.
Memory mapped at address 0x7f97840000.
Value at address 0x1409812744 (0x7f97840908): 0x1

JerryChang · July 12, 2017, 9:52am

hello EV,

seems your CSI_A_PHY_CIL was enabled correctly.
next step, could you please check the register value of CSI_CSI_CILA_STATUS_0.
attach the register description for your reference. thanks
