      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?

                        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?

                                  @veye_xumm Hi Xumm,

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

                                  Set camera 3_1 to slave
                                  usage: p1, role,0 is master,1 is slave
                                  init fpdlink sync mode port 0 role as SLAVE! 
                                  w stream mode slave 
                                  w streammode 0x 1 slave mode 0x 1 and save param
                                  w paramsave,all param will write to flash
                                  Set camera 3_2 to slave
                                  usage: p1, role,0 is master,1 is slave
                                  init fpdlink sync mode port 1 role as SLAVE! 
                                  w stream mode slave 
                                  w streammode 0x 1 slave mode 0x 1 and save param
                                  w paramsave,all param will write to flash
                                  

                                  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.

                                      Green: the two black delivered wires

                                      Following cameras showing this kind of image:

                                        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

                                            Hi, I think this camera has no lens mounted. Is it true ?
