      @veye_xumm
      Thanks for your answer.

      Did I understand that correctly. The connections should look like this:
      One wire from - to
      J6 pin 2 - J8 pin 2
      J6 pin 4 - J8 pin 4
      J6 pin 6 - J8 pin 6

      I think you just need to connect 2 4 6 8 pins of J6 and J8 together.
      And all 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 pins of J6 and J8 together will work too.

        i'm sorry, but i still haven't got it. Can you describe it in a table e.g.:
        J6 Pin X - J8 Pin Y

        Thank you

          It's not some pairs of connection. It's a group of connection.

          For example:
          J6-2 is the source of XVS, and J6-4 J6-6 J6-8 J8-2 J8-4 J8-6 J8-8 are all sink of XVS.
          So what you need to do is connect all these pins together.

          J6-1 J6-3 J6-5 J6-7 are already connected together on the board.
          J8-1 J8-3 J8-5 J8-7 are already connected together on the board.
          You can use them if you want.

              e.g my post here:
              http://forum.veye.cc/topic/21/camera-i2c-configuaration-for-sync-mode

              I just have blue images like the post here:
              http://forum.veye.cc/topic/22/i-want-to-synchronize-the-two-cameras-in-sync-mode
              But i have 8 cameras connected.

              Do I also connect the boards: FPD-LINK3-2RX?
              or is it the i2c configuration?

                Since you use CS-FPD-XAVIER-nCAM-IMX307, FPD-LINK3-2RX is a part of this module.

                  You can post your hardware connection here, I'll check it for you.

                    I think it's worked now, i have made an Firmware update of each camera. What is the best way to check synchronization?

                        Can you please check what i am doing wrong or post a detailed photo of the right configuration.

                          I think you pick out the wrong wire.

                            SYNC signal connect:
                            J7-3 (GPIO0) to J1-3 (GPIO0),
                            J7-2 (GND) to J1-2 (GND)

                            Do i need to do the wireing on each camera? or just master camera.
                            Any other wiring to do?

                                    I use this script to set sync_mode and master slave config:

                                    Looks good for me.

                                    If i ask the i2c bus which mode is configured, i get this:

                                    Camera 0_1
                                    r streammode 0x 1 slave mode is 0
                                    Camera 0_2
                                    r streammode 0x 1 slave mode is 1
                                    Camera 1_1
                                    r streammode 0x 1 slave mode is 1
                                    Camera 1_2
                                    r streammode 0x 1 slave mode is 1
                                    Camera 2_1
                                    r streammode 0x 1 slave mode is 1
                                    Camera 2_2
                                    r streammode 0x 1 slave mode is 1
                                    Camera 3_1
                                    r streammode 0x 1 slave mode is 1
                                    Camera 3_2
                                    r streammode 0x 1 slave mode is 1
                                    

                                    To grab images i use my v4l2-ctl script:

                                    #!/bin/bash
                                    
                                    cameras=7
                                    counter=0
                                    while [ $counter -le $cameras ]
                                    do
                                    	echo -e "Camera_"$counter
                                    	v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video$counter --stream-mmap --stream-to=frame_$counter.raw --stream-count=1
                                    	convert -size 1920x1080 -depth 16 uyvy:frame_$counter.raw frame_$counter.png
                                    	((counter++))
                                    done
                                    

                                    Camera 1 images looks good.
                                    some cameras a purple some are blue!

                                      which one is purple,which one is blue?
                                      I think the script is good. It might be wire connection problem.

                                      Could you draw a sketch of this part? let me have a look.

                                          I think your wire connection is ok. Do you install a lens on your camera?
                                          I don't understand the purple image.
                                          Please post a purple image and a blue image. let me look at it.

                                            No special lens on the cameras - just the standard from veye
                                            Here is an image
