2 Setup
2.1 Enable OV5647 in Linux Kernel Configuration
1 Enter the kernel configuration by running the following command in the top directory of project.
make kconfig
2 Selects sub-menus: Device Drivers>Multimedia support>Media ancillary drivers>Camera sensor devices
3 Select “OmniVision OV5647 sensor support” and press <Y>. Then save and exit.
2.2 Modify Device-tree Source
Device-tree source files of SP7350 are located in linux/kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/sunplus/.
Here lists all files for SP7350 boards:
Boards | Device-tree source files |
C3V-W EVB | sp7350-ev.dts |
Modify device tree source file to define OV5647 source for driver
2.2.1 Using SP7350 MIPI/CSI-RX4
Open OV5647_INT macro to add OV5647 node and link mipicsirx4.
2.2.2 Using SP7350 Other MIPI/CSI-RX
Define OV5647 node in i2c node:
i2c {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
ov5647: ov5647@36 {
compatible = "ovti,ov5647";
reg = <0x36>;
clocks = <&ov5647_clk>;
avdd-supply = <&ov5647_avdd_2v8>;
dovdd-supply = <&ov5647_dovdd_1v8>;
dvdd-supply = <&ov5647_dvdd_1v5>;
port {
ov5647_out: endpoint {
remote-endpoint = <&csi1_ep1>;
data-lanes = <1 2>;
clock-noncontinuous;
link-frequencies = /bits/ 64 <297000000>;
};
};
};
};
port: Should contain one endpoint sub-node used to model connection to the video receiver according to the specification defined in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt.
Video receiver endpoint sub-node should defined in mipicsirx node. For example:
mipicsirx: csirx@f8005480 {
port@0 {
reg = <0>;
/* MIPI CSI-2 bus endpoint */
csi1_ep1: endpoint {
remote-endpoint = <&ov5647_out>;
bus-type = <4>;
clock-lanes = <0>;
data-lanes = <1 2>;
};
};
2.3 Compile and Burn
2.4 Connect Sensor Module
Using C3V-W board MIPI/CSI-RX4, as follows：
2.5 Check
After the burning is completed, start the board. The system should print the following information through the serial port.
[ 1.944413] sp-csi2 f8005480.csirx: 2 lanes found [ 1.944819] sp-vin f8005980.video: assigned reserved memory node mipicsirx@4f600000 [ 1.948929] ov5647 0-0036: Consider updating driver ov5647 to match on endpoints [ 1.956573] sp-vin f8005980.video: Device VIN8 registered as video0 [ 1.962544] sp-vin f8005980.video: SP VIN driver probed
After the system startup is completed, the video device can be viewed.
root@dbv3:~# ls /dev/video0 /dev/video0

3.1 v4l2-ctl Command
This command is used to control V4L2 devices from the command line. It allows you to query device capabilities, set device parameters, and capture video and still image.
Use v4l2-ctl --all --device /dev/video0 command getting device all information.
root@dbv3:~# v4l2-ctl --all --device /dev/video0

3.2 Capture Image
3.2.1 Config Video Device
Use v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-ctrl params=value setting device controls.
Enable auto_exposure:
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-ctrl auto_exposure=1
Enable gain_automatic
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-ctrl gain_automatic=1
Enable white_balance_automatic
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-ctrl white_balance_automatic=1
3.2.2 Capture
Use v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext --device /dev/video0 querying device video format.
root@dbv3:~# v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext --device /dev/video0 ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT Type: Video Capture [0]: 'GBRG' (8-bit Bayer GBGB/RGRG) Size: Discrete 640x480 [1]: 'GB10' (10-bit Bayer GBGB/RGRG) Size: Discrete 2592x1944 Size: Discrete 1920x1080 Size: Discrete 1296x972 Size: Discrete 640x480 [2]: 'pGAA' (10-bit Bayer GBGB/RGRG Packed) Size: Discrete 2592x1944 Size: Discrete 1920x1080 Size: Discrete 1296x972 Size: Discrete 640x480
Use v4l2-ctl --stream capture image.
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=pGAA --stream-mmap=3 --stream-to=/home/root/ov5647.raw --stream-skip=9 --stream-count=1
--set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=pGAA set image format
--stream-count <count> stream <count> buffers. The default is to keep streaming forever. This count does not include the number of initial skipped buffers as is passed by --stream-skip.
--stream-skip <count> skip the first <count> buffers. The default is 0.
--stream-to <file> stream to this file. The default is to discard the data. If <file> is '-', then the data is written to stdout and the --silent option is turned on automatically.
--stream-mmap <count> capture video using mmap() [VIDIOC_(D)QBUF] count: the number of buffers to allocate. The default is 3.
After executing the capture command, the stream data is written to /home/root/ov5647.raw.
3.3 Display Image Raw Data
3.3.1 Download and Install Raw Image Viewer
Download raw image viewer from PixelViewer | Carina Studio. And PixelViewer is an open source project based cross-platform image which viewer supports reading raw Luminance/YUV/RGB/ARGB/Bayer pixels data from file and rendering it.
3.3.2 Use PixelViewer to Open Image
