This series adds support for video capture from external camera sensor to
Tegra video driver.

Jetson TX1 has camera expansion connector and supports custom camera module
designed as per TX1 design specification.

This series also enables camera capture support for Jetson Nano which has
Raspberry PI camera header.

This series is tested with IMX219 camera sensor.

This series include,

VI I2C related fixes
- Camera sensor programming happens through VI I2C which is on host1x bus.
- These patches includes device tree and I2C driver fixes for VI I2C.

Tegra video driver updates
- TPG Vs Non-TPG based on Kconfig
- Support for external sensor video capture based on device graph from DT.
- Support for selection ioctl operations
- Tegra MIPI CSI pads calibration
- CSI T-CLK and T-HS settle time computation based on clock rates.

Host1x driver updates
- Adds API to allow creating mipi device for specific device node.
- Splits MIPI pads calibrate start and waiting for calibration to be done.

Device tree updates
- Adds camera connector 2V8, 1V8, 1V2 regulator supplies to Jetson TX1 DT.
- Enabled VI and CSI support in Jetson Nano DT.
I'm doing a bit of stress testing with:

while true; do v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=1; done

and I see that the imx274 has often streaming failures:

where v4l2-ctl returns:

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ VIDIOC_STREAMON returned -1 (Remote I/O error)

I don't see this with the imx219.

I also see this occasionally:

[Fri Jul 17 12:51:42 2020] video4linux video1: failed to run capture start kthread: -4

Something is not stable here.

Hi Hans,

Running the same single frame continuous loop for more than 2 hours now
and I don't see any failure.

Above failure shows i2c bulk writes to IMX274 failure due to which
s_stream also failed.

Not sure if its due to i2c mux in the path to sensor on your module
causing some issue when there is more i2c write traffic as we are doing
single stream in continuous loop. Also IMX219 does not show on your side
so something specific to IMX274 setup probably.
I'll take a closer look next week. Good to know that it works fine for you.


Regarding kthread_run failure where kthread_run() returned -EINTR during
capture start thread, I always see this happen at the point of stopping
the continuous single stream while loop by pressing ctrl+c after few
loops of execution.
Hmm, if this is normal behavior, then should this message be a debug message
only? Or perhaps only show the message if the error code != EINTR.

I believe its good to still show this as its reported by kthread_run -> kthread_create_on_node.

But not sure in real usecase we will ever use while true like this and we should use script to also break while loop along with v4l2-ctl termination when ctrl-c terminate request happens.

Hi Hans, As this happens only during this type of case, I can update to show message only when error code != EINTR.

Thanks

Sowjanya


Sorry, Was thinking to not mask debug message for -EINTR in case if it happens in any other valid scenarios. If you still want to mask, will update in next version.

As we are running application that uses threads depending on when ctrl-c gets hit I see sigkill happens during kthread run even with break causing this.

Good way I see it working all the time is to use crtl-z and then kill application as below

Command to run

while true; do ./v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=1; done

To stop ,

press ctrl-z and then execute kill %%





Regards,

ÂÂÂÂHans

while true; do v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=1; done

when we stop loop with ctrl+c, v4l2-ctl terminates but loop does not
terminate immediately and probably SIGKILLed is seen prior to complete.

Using below can help to terminate loop as well when we stop ctrl-c and
with this I don't see any repro of EINTR error from kthread_run when run
in infinite loop.

while true; do ./v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 || break; done



Delta between patch versions:

[v3]:ÂÂÂ Includes v2 feedback
ÂÂÂÂ- Uses separate helper function for retrieving remote csi subdevice
ÂÂÂÂÂ and source subdevice.
ÂÂÂÂ- Added check for presence of subdevice ops set/get_selection
ÂÂÂÂ- dropped vb2_queue_release from driver and using
ÂÂÂÂÂ vb2_video_unregister_device instead of video_unregister_device.
ÂÂÂÂ- video device register should happen in the last after all video
ÂÂÂÂÂ device related setup is done in the driver. This is being addressed
ÂÂÂÂÂ in below RFC patch. Once proper implementation of this is available
ÂÂÂÂÂ will update Tegra video driver to use split APIs and do all setup
ÂÂÂÂÂ prior to device register. Added this as TODO in the driver.

ÂÂÂÂNote:
ÂÂÂÂPatch-0012 has compilation dependency on
ÂÂÂÂhttps://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11659521/


[v2]:ÂÂÂ Includes below changes based on v1 feedback
ÂÂÂÂ- dt-binding document and the driver update for device graph to use
ÂÂÂÂÂ separate ports for sink endpoint and source endpoint for csi.
ÂÂÂÂ- Use data-lanes endpoint property for csi.
ÂÂÂÂ- Update tegra_mipi_request() to take device node pointer argument
ÂÂÂÂÂ rather than adding extra API.
ÂÂÂÂ- Remove checking for clk pointer before clk_disable.
