FAQs
  • FAQ

    Can I check CSI data is outputted?

    Read bitfield s phyX_pkt_cnt, where X can be 0,1,2, or 3. These registers will appear to output random values while CSI data is being output. Note: Due to the random output, there will be a 1 in 256 chance…
  • FAQ

    Can I generate embedded data in the device?

    The MAX96724 family of parts can output ERRB and error register as embedded data on CSI port.
  • FAQ

    Customer has PCLK and Video Lock but still no video output, what should I check to get the data output?

    Check the packet counter register on the deserializer for the data output. For example, check register 0x40 for the selected type Link A in the MAX96724 camera devices. Ensure that number of lanes…
  • FAQ

    How is a script written for the parts?

    Refer to the User's Manual, available through the GMSL GUI, page 10:
  • FAQ

    How to check if the MIPI error is persisting or not without forwarding the video to the link?     

    Set VID_TX_EN = 0 for all pipes. In this condition, MIPI input can be enabled and MIPI error can be re-detected if it is there. Then when the module is allowed to transmit video, VID_TX_EN can be enabled…
  • FAQ

    Is it an issue if MIPI_ERR FLAG is asserted?

    Yes, the triggering mechanism should be identified and eradicated during the design time. There are cases that there is a good stream received by the video sink even though MIPI_ERR FLAG is asserted on…
  • FAQ

    Is it possible to change the Deserializer's output spread spectrum setting on the fly?

    Changing settings on many interfaces (CSI, eDP) will cause an interruption in the transmission of the video data (the device immediately halts). Most connected SoCs at a minimum will report this as a transmission…
  • FAQ

    Is it possible to tell which line in the video had the LCRC error during LCRC error detection?

    There is not a definitive way to tell which line had the error. The interrupt is asynchronous with respect to the video output because it is generated at the video pipes, in the middle of the datapath…
  • FAQ

    There is no output from the MIPI port of DES even though there is no error indicator asserted. What can be the cause? What to check?

    Ensure that the serializer and deserializer are programmed correctly, check lane map, polarity, number of lanes, datatypes etc. Make sure you have PCLKDET on serializer and video_lock on deserializer.…
  • FAQ

    What are the conditions of valid VIDEO_LOCK or VID_LOCK?

    For a video pipe’s GMSL2 VID_LOCK signal to be asserted, the video pipe must continuously receive at least 16 valid video packets within a moving time window. A video pipe’s video packet detector counts…
