  Hi,

I am trying to capture from a parallel OV5640 on a imx6ull-evk board.

Here are the device tree changes:

First, I got the following warning:

That's not right, csi->is_csi2 is a flag that indicates if the current
input to the CSI comes from the CSI-2 receiver.

It looks like the i.MX6ULL is missing the MIPI CSI-2 receiver and thus
also the corresponding video mux. The WARN_ON() should thus indeed by
bypassed, but only for devices that don't have the video mux. I wouldn't
be surprised if other adaptations would be needed in the code.

On a side note, the driver is a bit hard to read, mixing i.MX6 and i.MX7
support leads to quite a bit of spaghetti code (and i.MX6 is a misnommer
to start with, as shown by the i.MX6ULL that has a CSI, not an IPUv3).
We should split the driver in two, rename i.MX7 support to CSI and i.MX6
to IPUv3, but that will be a large effort.

Unlike i.MX7, i.MX6UL/i.MX6ULL do not have a MIPI CSI-2 IP block.

They only have a parallel CSI interface, and no video mux is present.

So the csi->is_csi2 check I did seems correct, right?

Yes, I found other paths that miss the csi->is_csi2 check too.

Thanks,

Fabio Estevam

I don't think so. csi->is_csi2 tells if the currently selected input of
the video mux is the CSI-2 receiver, not if there's a CSI-2 receiver
present in the device. csi->is_csi2 should of course always be false
when there's no CSI-2 receiver, but it can be false when a CSI-2
receiver is present and the currently selected input is the parallel
input.

Laurent is correct here. That flag indicates if CSI-2 is the selected
input for the video mux.

I really only had the warp7 board which only had the csi2 as video mux
input, never got the chance to test it with a parallel input. And the
driver expects that we always have a mux. I was not even aware that an
imx6 would have the same csi ip.

but from the error outputs looks issues getting the format around the
imx7_csi_{try, get}_fmt.

Do you still have the hardware, would you be able to test a patch series
?

Yeah, I have it somewhere... it could take a couple of days to
restore the setup, but possible for sure.

Please check the following commit:

commit 0486a18ce82bd00d69ddc0fab8faa4b80df2117b
Author: Sébastien Szymanski <sebastien.szymanski@armadeus.com>

    media: imx7-media-csi: add i.MX6UL support

    i.MX7 and i.MX6UL/L have the same CSI controller. So add i.MX6UL/L support
    to imx7-media-csi driver.

yeah, of course I am aware of this patch, when I said I was not aware
any imx6 had the same csi ip was at the time of creating the initial
imx7 driver, not now.

Now I know it, but I never test in a parallel input scenario, the
changes from Sebastien in that patch were very small and specific to
setup csi for a parallel input and I think they worked fro him and did
not break the mipi-csi input type.

Don't you need

Thanks for your suggestion, but I still get the warning and csi does not probe.

The modified dts is:
https://pastebin.com/raw/xENc5M5q

Could you please share your imx6ul board dts file that you used to
test camera capture?

Were you able to capture via Gstreamer? If so, please also share the
media-ctl and gst pipelines that you used.

Thanks,

Fabio Estevam

I am trying to capture via Gstreamer now. If you managed to get it
working, please share your media-ctl setup and Gst pipeline.

Thanks for your help!

I just tried it with kernel 5.4.84 with the following device tree (from
mainline kernel):
https://pastebin.com/w00EWZa5

I configured the pipelines with:
media-ctl -l "'ov5640 1-003c':0 -> 'csi':0[1]"
media-ctl -l "'csi':1 -> 'csi capture':0[1]"
media-ctl -v -V "'ov5640 1-003c':0 [fmt:UYVY8_2X8/640x480 field:none]"

The topology is then:

Device topology
- entity 1: csi (2 pads, 2 links)
            type V4L2 subdev subtype Unknown flags 0
            device node name /dev/v4l-subdev0

I used the following gstreamer pipeline to stream on the framebuffer:

Thanks, this helps and now the pipeline starts and I do see the camera
image on the LCD.

I switched to the same 5.4 you used just to make sure we are in the
same codebase.

I am getting the wrong colors though. The captured image is too pinky.

Do you get the correct colors on your test?

Also, I had to describe like the polarities like this:

hsync-active = <0>;
vsync-active = <1>;
pclk-sample = <0>;

because if I used the same polarities from your patch, then the
pipeline does not start.

Thanks for your help!

Just tested against next-20210105 and the original warning happens and
csi is no longer probed.

I am using the same dtb that worked on 5.4.84.

It looks like we have a regression.

And here is a fix that allows csi to probe:
https://pastebin.com/raw/g6ijDf2N

Makes sense?

There is another error though: I do not see the message below as seen
on 5.4 kernel:
[   10.690711] imx-media: ov5640 1-003c:0 -> csi:0

And the same pipeline that worked with 5.4 does not work with linux-next:

media-ctl -l "'csi':1 -> 'csi capture':0[1]"

Since we do not have many changes in there can you bisect?

maybe?

Yes, with your patch and mine I can capture the same way as with the
5.4 kernel :-)

The pink color issue is still present but it is orthogonal to this problem.

Could you please submit your patch formally to the list? Please
include my attached patch as 1/2 and yours as 2/2.

Also, please add the following tag to your patch:

will do, thanks and sorry about your issue, I really thought that all
