DS90UB953-Q1: Initial file request

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ALP, USB2ANY

Hi. 

I designed Automotive E-Mirror Camera. (OX03C10 + TI953)

And I'll bring up camera via TI 954 DES Board.

Can you offer me the initial file to initialize SERDES IC (TI953 +954).

I attached the brief information in PPT file.

If you need any other data, please let me know.

Thank you.

  • Hi Kipyo, 

    Since you are using the 954 EVM to bring up your design, you can use the ALP software for initialization. Please refer to the 954 EVM design guide and 953/954 ALP training video for instructions on installing, configuration, and register set up. 

    For the 954, you should only need to configure the RX port configuration checkboxes on the Information tab as well as the CSI configuration on the Forwarding tab to match the parameters of your system.

  • Hi Logan. 

    Actually I don't use 954 EVM board. I made 954 DES board myself.

    So I need basic register information to initialize SERDES. 

    Doesn't TI provide the default source ? 

  • Hi Kipyo, 

    I see, thanks for the clarification. 

    If you have a USB2ANY or AARDVARK I2C controller available, then the ALP software can still be used by attaching it to the I2C bus on your 954 board. 

    If you are programming via MCU/processor or another I2C programmer, then there are only a few registers that should need written for basic operation (though more registers might need written depending on your exact system and parameters; such as slave addresses, GPIO mapping, and more advanced features). Most of the prominent settings are set via HW strapping and can be modified via registers.

    Some that will need to be written to are:

    Register Address Register Fields Value (as shown) Comments
    0x0C  0x01 Enable RX ports
     0x20  0x20 Enable port forwarding port 0/1
    0x33  0x01 Enable CSI (also set non-default CSI settings such as lane count, continuous clock, etc)
    0x58  0x5E I2C pass-through is enabled with bit 6/7. 


    If you have any specific features in mind that you need help with, let us know and we can help with them specifically.

  • Hi Logan.

    Thanks for your help.

    I succeeded in bring up camera module via MCU.
