Hi,

Here is a series introducing the support for the A10 (and SoCs of the same
generation) CMOS Sensor Interface (called CSI, not to be confused with
MIPI-CSI, which isn't support by that IP).

That interface is pretty straightforward, but the driver has a few issues
that I wanted to bring up:

  * The only board I've been testing this with has an ov5640 sensor
    attached, which doesn't work with the upstream driver. Copying the
    Allwinner init sequence works though, and this is how it has been
    tested. Testing with a second sensor would allow to see if it's an
    issue on the CSI side or the sensor side.
  * When starting a capture, the last buffer to capture will fail due to
    double buffering being used, and we don't have a next buffer for the
    last frame. I'm not sure how to deal with that though. It seems like
    some drivers use a scratch buffer in such a case, some don't care, so
    I'm not sure which solution should be preferred.
  * We don't have support for the ISP at the moment, but this can be added
    eventually.

  * How to model the CSI module clock isn't really clear to me. It looks
    like it goes through the CSI controller and then is muxed to one of the
    CSI pin so that it can clock the sensor. I'm not quite sure how to
    model it, if it should be a clock, the CSI driver being a clock
    provider, or if the sensor should just use the module clock directly.

Here is the v4l2-compliance output:

Test v4l2-compliance with the -s option so you test streaming as well.
Even better is -f where it tests streaming with all available formats.

Hmm, I can't find this SHA. Was this built from the main v4l-utils repo?

I will, thanks for the tip!

It was, but using Buildroot. The version packaged in the latest stable
version I was using (2018.08) is 1.14.2.

Looking at the Makefile from v4l2-compliance, it looks like it just
invokes git to retrieve the git commit and uses that as the hash. In
Buildroot's case, since buildroot will download the tarball, this will
end up returning the SHA commit of the buildroot repo building the
sources, not the version of the sources themselves.

I'm not sure how to address that properly though. Thomas, how do you
usually deal with this?

Thanks!
Maxime

That's seriously out of date. That's why I show the SHA, to see if
someone is testing with a recent version of the utility, so it served
its purpose here :-)

Latest release is 1.16.2.

But when submitting new drivers you really need to build it yourself from
the master branch, that's the only way to be sure you have all the latest
compliance checks.

Note that cec-compliance and cec-follower do the same, for the same
reason.

Where does the tarball come from?

Ack, I'll update it and test again then.

This is the official tarball from linuxtv:

Weird, if I build directly from that tarball, then v4l2-compliance should say:

v4l2-compliance SHA: not available, 64 bits

So that's what I expect to see from buildroot as well.

Indeed, that's strange, I see that the v4l2-compliance Makefile does:

version.h:
        @if git -C $(srcdir) rev-parse HEAD >/dev/null 2>&1; then \
                echo -n "#define SHA " >$@ ; \
                git -C $(srcdir) rev-parse HEAD >>$@ ; \
        else \
                touch $@ ; \
        fi

which correctly uses $(srcdir), so it shouldn't go "up" the libv4l
build folder and pick up the latest Buildroot commit SHA1. I'll have a
quick look.

Best regards,

Thomas

I think it does, actually. If the tar archive is unpacked inside the
checked-out buildroot git tree, then it will pick up the buildroot SHA.

I fixed v4l-utils to be a bit smarter about this:

https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/patch/?id=98b4c9f276a18535b5691e5f350f59ffbf5a9aa5

Which clock are you talking about? MCLK? This seems to be fed directly from
the CCU, as there doesn't seem to be controls for it within the CSI hardware
block, and the diagram doesn't list it either. IMO you don't have to model it.
The camera sensor device node would just take a reference to it directly. You
would probably enable the (separate) pinmux setting in the CSI controller node.

Yeah, that what I went for, I guess we agree :)

I'll change that.
