@veye_xumm Hi Xumm,

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

#!/bin/bash

SYNC_INIT="sync_init"
STREAM_MODE="streammode"

echo -e "connected cameras:"
ls -l /dev/video* 

echo -e "Set camera 0_1 to Master"
sh ./fpdlink3_i2c_jetson.sh -f $SYNC_INIT -p 0 -p1 0 -b 30
sh ./cs_mipi_i2c.sh -w -f $STREAM_MODE -p1 1 -p2 0 -b 30 -d 0x3b
echo -e "Set camera 0_2 to slave"
sh ./fpdlink3_i2c_jetson.sh -f $SYNC_INIT -p 1 -p1 1 -b 30
sh ./cs_mipi_i2c.sh -w -f $STREAM_MODE -p1 1 -p2 1 -b 30 -d 0x3c
echo -e "Set camera 1_1 to slave"
sh ./fpdlink3_i2c_jetson.sh -f $SYNC_INIT -p 0 -p1 1 -b 31
sh ./cs_mipi_i2c.sh -w -f $STREAM_MODE -p1 1 -p2 1 -b 31 -d 0x3b
echo -e "Set camera 1_2 to slave"
sh ./fpdlink3_i2c_jetson.sh -f $SYNC_INIT -p 1 -p1 1 -b 31
sh ./cs_mipi_i2c.sh -w -f $STREAM_MODE -p1 1 -p2 1 -b 31 -d 0x3c
echo -e "Set camera 2_1 to slave"
sh ./fpdlink3_i2c_jetson.sh -f $SYNC_INIT -p 0 -p1 1 -b 32
sh ./cs_mipi_i2c.sh -w -f $STREAM_MODE -p1 1 -p2 1 -b 32 -d 0x3b
echo -e "Set camera 2_2 to slave"
sh ./fpdlink3_i2c_jetson.sh -f $SYNC_INIT -p 1 -p1 1 -b 32
sh ./cs_mipi_i2c.sh -w -f $STREAM_MODE -p1 1 -p2 1 -b 32 -d 0x3c
echo -e "Set camera 3_1 to slave"
sh ./fpdlink3_i2c_jetson.sh -f $SYNC_INIT -p 0 -p1 1 -b 33
sh ./cs_mipi_i2c.sh -w -f $STREAM_MODE -p1 1 -p2 1 -b 33 -d 0x3b
echo -e "Set camera 3_2 to slave"
sh ./fpdlink3_i2c_jetson.sh -f $SYNC_INIT -p 1 -p1 1 -b 33
sh ./cs_mipi_i2c.sh -w -f $STREAM_MODE -p1 1 -p2 1 -b 33 -d 0x3c

This is the result:

====== Configure master/slave syncmode ======

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!


Do you need more informations? Or do you have any ideas whats wrong?

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.

[g-towboat]

@veye_xumm
Hi here is my drawing:

Red: the jumpers
Green: the two black delivered wires

Following cameras showing this kind of image:

Camera 1 /dev/video0 image ok
Camera 2 /dev/video1 blue image
Camera 3 /dev/video2 purple image
Camera 4 /dev/video3 image ok
Camera 5 /dev/video4 purple image
Camera 6 /dev/video5 blue image
Camera 7 /dev/video6 purple image
Camera 8 /dev/video7 blue image

@g-towboat
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.

[g-towboat]

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

[veye_xumm]

@g-towboat
Hi, I think this camera has no lens mounted. Is it true ?

[g-towboat]

@veye_xumm
A lens is connected on all camera. If i switch back the configuration to "free run" on each camera, all images look normal.

[veye_xumm]

@g-towboat
Have you checked the firmware version of each camera?
http://wiki.veye.cc/index.php/CS-MIPI-IMX307_version_log

Make sure firmware version is newer than 2.33.

[g-towboat]

@veye_xumm last week i installed version 2.36

[g-towboat]

@veye_xumm sorry i forgot to upload the blue image

[veye_xumm]

@g-towboat
I am REALLY REALLY sorry. I uploaded the wrong version fpdlink3_i2c_jetson.sh before.

Please download the newest version I upload to github.
https://github.com/veyeimaging/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp/tree/master/i2c_cmd/bin
It works fine here.
Sorry again.

[g-towboat]

@veye_xumm
i have installed the new version. it looks good for now. One question do i need to set the fpdlink-settings after each reboot?

[veye_xumm]

@g-towboat
It is really nice.

./fpdlink3_i2c_jetson.sh -f sync_init .....
This cmd need to set after each reboot.

./cs_mipi_i2c.sh -w -f streammode
The camera can save streammode.
