Get the full greenscreen preview image when I use my dts file for imx219

system info :linux kernel 3.10.96 ,tx1 devkit.
1)I am porting the camera imx219 to tx1.Using my own dts. I attach my dts named tegra210-imx219-1cam.dts
And now I can see /dev/video and /dev/media0 after tx1 boot up ; I attach the boot dmesg named dmesg_6_0010_boot.log.in line 922-936 there are:

When I run the command

I get the full greenscreen preview image, and then the terminal shows:

I attach the dmesg_6_0010_preview_fail.log. at the end area , there is "cdma_timeout_handler:timeout ".
when I see then greenscreen, I see the nvcamera-daemon message:

2)I also try v4l2-ctl

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=RG10 --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 --stream-to=imx219.raw

dmesg shows:

I attach the dmesg as dmesg_6_0010_v4l2_error_mipi_cal_timeout.log

  1. when I run media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -p ,I get:
Failed to enumerate /dev/media0 (-13)

that’s all. sorry for having so much messages .Because I don’t know which message is useful ,I write them all.
I search the forum for the problem similar to mine,and use the methord ,but I still haven’t solve my problem.

The camera daemon does not handle timeouts gracefully. If it doesn’t get an image it will crash, which is what you’re seeing. The green screen is just the default color being shown before it gets filled with actual image data (which doesn’t come).

Looks like the specific error is:

Sensor_LoadModeModeType: mode 0: Failed to load pixeltype

But your dts has the pixel type defined as “bayer_rggb” which should work.

Can you check to see if your s_stream function is being called? Just put a print at the top of it. The ISP is probably failing before it even calls it (which would cause the timeout). Is the source for your driver public? I could take a look.

As for that failure in the v4l2-compliance test it’s most likely because you haven’t implemented V4L2_CID_HDR_EN. Nvidia say’s it’s optional, but if you don’t have it then camera_common_try_fmt fails.

Here’s the repository for my working camera driver at r24.2, it can help to have multiple examples to look at.

https://github.com/DaxBot/daxc02/tree/r24.2

Hello Atrer,

thanks for your suggestion ,that is helpful.
As you suggested, I put a print on the top of the s_stream function. When I see the green screen , I find the program get in the s_stream function.
I connect the tx1 CVM to j106 without any extra modifications, and I can see the preview image on csi-c port.Then I check my camera board ,I find an hardware error. I will design a new camera board to see if I could get the preview successfully.
Even I can preview, using nacamera-daemon I still see the info “Failed to load pixeltype”.so i think that’s not the main reason that causes the green screen.
another quesion. I read your camera example.
I find there are 7 i2c busses in tx1, which are i2c0~i2c6. in your example they are :

i2c0 = "/i2c@7000c000";
i2c1 = "/i2c@7000c400";
i2c2 = "/i2c@7000c500";
i2c3 = "/i2c@7000c700";
i2c4 = "/i2c@7000d000";
i2c5 = "/i2c@7000d100";
i2c6 = "/host1x/i2c@546c0000";

I wanna use i2c to control six cameras which have the same i2c address 0x10,and design the camera board connecting to the 120pin port (camera connector) on tx1 devkit board. I intend to use one i2c bus control one camera.that is:
CSI-A → i2c1 → camera0
CSI-B → i2c2 → camera1
CSI-C → i2c3 → camera2
CSI-D → i2c4 → camera3
CSI-E → i2c5 → camera4
CSI-F → i2c6 → camera5
Do you think if my idea could work?
Thank you very much.

@BradleyY
Due to not all i2c pin were lay to expansion header. It’s better to use a i2c mux for multi sensor design. You can reference to E3333 to know it.

@ShaneCCC

Thanks for your reply,I find that the 120pin on tx devkit board only has i2c0 ,2 and 6.
I wonder why i2c6 is the subnode of /host1x, but the others are subnode of /.

Regards.

@ShaneCCC

I find the dts file for e3333. Doesn’t e3333 need extra c source code for making zImage ?
E3333 use tca9548 (i2c switch), we don’t need c file for tca9548?

Regards.

A side note, not really part of your current issue: zImage isn’t used with the 64-bit Tegras. Just the Image (uncompressed). You will probably have problems if you actually try to boot a zImage (not sure if it is predictable what would happen).

You may want to get a 6 camera kit from Leopard Imaging and they can provide you with schematics and drivers:
https://leopardimaging.com/product-category/nvidia-jetson-camera/nvidia_tx1tx2_camera_kit/

This only for your reference. If your design 100% the same with this board you don’t need any extra c source code. And tca95xx can enable by the kernel config.
