DS90UB947-Q1: source code or script when the link is unstable

Part Number: DS90UB947-Q1

Hello TI experts,

my customer is designing cluster using DS90UB947.

they asked about the source code or script when the FPD-Link is unstable or disconnected, to prevent or fix this situation

(they saw E2E link about it, but I cannot find it.)

Please check this issue. Thanks.

Best regards,

Chase

  • Chase,

    I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but attached is our recommended initialization code for 947:

  • Dear Casey,

    Thank you for your support.

    I mean that there is any possibility that FPD-Link is disconnected during operation due to any reason.

    In case of it, is there any source code or script to check the status and fix it?

    or source code to prevent disconnection.

    Please check this issue. Thanks.

    Best regards,

    Chase

  • Hello, 

    Since today is a US public holiday, we will continue support on your request on Monday. Thank you for your patience. 

    Regards, 

    Logan

  • Chase,

    There is no pre-made code example to run diagnostics on the link. Link status can be monitored in 0x0C[0] or by reading the remote deserializer LOCK status (depending on which deserializer you are connected to). 

    If there is a disruption of the link, the FPD-Link devices will automatically recover the link and recover the video without any user intervention. 

    Best Regards,

    Casey
