hi,we used ov5640 with cx3,  we didn't use hard reset to reset  ov5640 sensor  ,so used soft reset  to reset sensor ,but some times the graph is green.

we add the soft rest in the Cx3UvcOV5640  demo:

here is we add the code:

void

CyCx3AppInit (

        void)

{

    ......

status =  CyU3PMipicsiInit();

    if (status != CY_U3P_SUCCESS)

    {

    LOG ("AppInit:MipicsiInit Err = 0x%x", status);

        CyCx3AppErrorHandler(status);

    }

  status = CyU3PMipicsiSetIntfParams(&cfgUvcVgaNoMclk, CyFalse);

if (status != CY_U3P_SUCCESS) {

    LOG("AppInit:MipicsiSetIntfParams Err = 0x%x", status);

    CyCx3AppErrorHandler(status);

}

status = CyU3PMipicsiSetSensorControl(CY_U3P_CSI_IO_XRES, CyTrue);  //soft rest

.....

}

how can we solve  this problems? is the soft reset should be used on other palce ?   the same code runs on development board  as well.

Hello,

As the default firmware steams YUY2 format, the greenish color in the video is because the chrominance component of YUY2 format is all 1's. This can be due to noise as you said the board is not stable. Please confirm that the color format is same in your firmware

Please refer to this KBA CX3 Hardware: Frequently Asked Questions - KBA91295 which mentions the hardware guidelines to be followed while designing board with CX3 and confirm that all of the guidelines are followed.

Hello,

Please let me know is the default firmware OV5640 works fine with the same board.

Also, are you using the Denebola kit or some custom board for testing this firmware? What are the results while testing on both boards?

Please let me know where is CyCx3_ImageSensor_Init(); called in the firmware. Meanwhile I will try reproducing the same problem at my end.

Rashi

hi.

the default firmware OV5640 works run on the same board then on graph can show out ,becase the board has no hard rest to image sensor,so we need software reset to make image sensor to show image.

we used our customer board test the framework,also we run the same framework on development board but it runs well and our custom board is unstable.

customer board is designed according to the principle of development board,the only different is customer has no hardware rest function.

and here is the appInit code:

Hello,

I observed that sensor rest is done twice in the code snippet that you have shared. Please try calling sensor rest before initializing the sensor.

snip_reset.PNG

I have tested the modified firmware with Denebola Kit and it works fine. (results attached). Please call the sensor reset API only once and try.

As you mentioned the custom board is unstable. Please confirm the greenish video is seen when testing on custom board.

Hi,

my code didn't rest twice , the last reset code has been commented out ,and our code can run well on Denebola Kit .

Hello,

Thanks for the update.

Then it seems that the problem is not because of calling reset API. There can be a problem with the custom board and not from the firmware side. It seems some kind of noise is added to the video data.

Please refer to this thread FX3 with AN75779 source code and MT9M114, color modification with a similar problem but with FX3 and not CX3.

Please test default OV5640 firmware with the custom board and share the results. Is 1.png (from your previous response) results when tested on the custom board?

Rashi

Hi:

There is nothing can be showed if the default OV5640 firmware run on customer board,all the uvc app video and graph always black ,so that's why we must need software reset api to resolve this problem.

As the default firmware steams YUY2 format, the greenish color in the video is because the chrominance component of YUY2 format is all 1's. This can be due to noise as you said the board is not stable. Please confirm that the color format is same in your firmware
