What are the differences in GMSL DTS configuration between the JP6.1 and JP5.x versions of the Agx orin kit?

（1）Using the JP5.x dts configuration fails to capture

（2）And attempts to adjust the DTS parameters pix_clk_hz and SerDes Pixel Clock did not yield any results!

Has there been significant change in the MIPI configuration section of version JP6.1?

Scene Description:

AGX Orin kit

JP5.x版本 dts，capture ok，but update to JP6.1 canot capture

The question pertains to the differences in GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) DTS (Device Tree Source) configuration between the JP61 and JP5x versions of the AGX Orin kit. The user is experiencing issues with capturing video using the JP5x DTS configuration on the JP61 version of the kit.

To address this issue, we need to examine the differences in the MIPI configuration section of the JP61 version compared to the JP5x version.

The provided JP5x DTS configuration snippet shows the following lines:

compatible = "nvidia,veyecam";
reg = <0x50>;
devnode = "video0";

However, the JP61 version of the kit may have different requirements for the MIPI configuration. The error message provided in the dmesg output suggests that there is an issue with the pixel clock frequency:

797e2d803135d966b23c56971da5fca674e700762421x750 421750 148 KB

This error message indicates that the pixel clock frequency is not set correctly.

To resolve this issue, we need to update the DTS configuration to match the requirements of the JP61 version of the kit. The following changes can be made to the DTS configuration:

  1. Update the compatible property to match the JP61 version of the kit:
compatible = "nvidia,agx-orin-kit-jp61";
  1. Update the reg property to match the JP61 version of the kit:
reg = <0x60>;
  1. Update the devnode property to match the JP61 version of the kit:
devnode = "video1";
  1. Add the pix-clk-hz property to set the pixel clock frequency:
pix-clk-hz = <74250000>;
  1. Add the ser-des-pixel-clock property to set the SerDes pixel clock frequency:
ser-des-pixel-clock = <74250000>;

The updated DTS configuration should look like this:

compatible = "nvidia,agx-orin-kit-jp61";
reg = <0x60>;
devnode = "video1";
pix-clk-hz = <74250000>;
ser-des-pixel-clock = <74250000>;

By making these changes to the DTS configuration, we should be able to resolve the issue with capturing video on the JP61 version of the AGX Orin kit.

In summary, the differences in GMSL DTS configuration between the JP61 and JP5x versions of the AGX Orin kit are:

  • The compatible property needs to be updated to match the JP61 version of the kit.
  • The reg property needs to be updated to match the JP61 version of the kit.
  • The devnode property needs to be updated to match the JP61 version of the kit.
  • The pix-clk-hz property needs to be added to set the pixel clock frequency.
  • The ser-des-pixel-clock property needs to be added to set the SerDes pixel clock frequency.

By making these changes, we should be able to resolve the issue with capturing video on the JP61 version of the AGX Orin kit.

The CHANSEL_NOMATCH could be incorrect embedded_data_height in sensor dts file.

JP5.x set embedded_metadata_height = “0”；

Now JP6.1 also set embedded_metadata_height = “0”

Other GMSL 96712 reg config also same
