DS90UB954-Q1EVM: No output data at deserializer output

Dusan Vojinovic
Prodigy 180 points
Part Number: DS90UB954-Q1EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS90UB954-Q1, ALP

Hello TI-team,

I'm using the DS90UB954-Q1 EVM connected to self designed PCB with DS90UB953. The serializer is connected to 2 lane MIPI camera module OV2311 via flat cable.
The deserializer can be controlled by ALP or a connected Raspberry PI. I am able to set the sreaming mode of the the camera using I2C. The MIPI signals
are enabled and can be measured with an oscizlisope as input data for the serializer. Unfortuantely I cann't receive the signals at the deserializer output.

DS90UB953 has an 10k pull-down at the MODE pin --> CSI-2 synchronous mode

DS90UB954 has an voltage divider 78k7 / 97k6 --> CSI-2 synchronous back channel

DS90UB954: Device PASS and LOCK status bit are set (register 0x04=DF)

DS90UB953: LINK_DET, HS_PLL_LOCK and RX_LOCK_DETECT set to 1 (CRC_ERR too)  0x52=47

Jumper on the DS90UB954Q1-EVM to set CSI-2 mode.

BIST srcipt '953_054_BIST' runs succesfully.

Do you have an idea why no output signals are available at the deserializer output?

Kind regards,
Dusan

    Hello Dusan,

    Thank you for sharing information on the issue you are experiencing. I would like to get some information on the following conditions: 

    1. How many units is this issue occurring on? Are you only testing with one unit of the 954 and 953? If more than one 953 is connected to the 954, what is the forwarding mode selected on the 954? 
    2. During test, are any errors reported in 0x4D on the DS90UB954? Are there any changes in lock status reported? 
    3. What is the output CSI-2 timing for the system? 
    4. Running the BIST script, are any errors reported in BIST? What are the results? 

    Best,

    Zoe

    Hello Zoe,

    thanks for your quick replay. Please find below my answers to your questions:

    1. I have only one 954 EVM board but I tested it with three 953 boards. Onle one 953 device is connected to the EVM 954 via coax cable.

    Forwarding mode:

    2. The register 0x4D=0x03.  No lock status changed.

    3. I measured the frequency of one data signal CSI_D0_P. The frequncy is constant 88 kHz. But there is no clock signal CSI_CLK_P/N.

    Only on the two data lanes a signal can be measured.

    4. Please see the BIST report. There is no lock status change. From my point of view the BIST test was succesfull.

    I'm wondering that there is no CSI clock signal output of the imager. So there is no CSI clk input for the 953.

    I have connected the camera directly to a raspberry pi and it was possible to stream a picture/video without CSI clk. Only on the CSI data lanes signals can be measured. On the CSI clk lanes there were no trafic. 

    Regards,

    Dusan

    Hello Dusan, 

    Thank you again for the clarification on what behavior is being observed. From your response, I see you listed that no CSI clock signal is being output from the imager to the 953. This is a required signal for the 953 to collect the data and output to the 954. Referring to the OV2311 product brief available online, this signal should be available on the OV2311 (MCP/MCN). The CSI clock signal would need to be input to the 953, as generated by the imager. 

    Would you be able to change this set up and verify the CSI clock signal is routed to the 953? Requirements related to the CSI-2 interface are listed on page 11 of the DS90UB953 datasheet, section 6.5 Electrical Characteristics. 

    Best,

    Zoe

    Hallo Zoe,

    thank you for your feedback. In the meantime, i have taken a more detailed look at the signals. I have measured the CSI_D0N, CSI_D0P and CSI_CLK_P provided by the imager with a single ended probe. Please see the following two pictures:  

    The voltage level of the data signal is approx 1V and the clk signal drop down to 200mV when starting the streaming mode of the imager.

    I measured the clock signal with a diff probe and get the following plot:

    This clk signal is routed to the 953. The 953 should be able to collect the input data and send it to 954.

    Regards,

    Dusan

    Hello Dusan, 

    Understood. Would you be able to share a complete register dump of the 954 and 953 while the issue is being experienced? This will provide further understanding of how the devices are being configured. 

    Best,

    Zoe

    Hi Dusan,

    On the DS90UB954, 0x7A has value 0xF denoting length error, checksum error, 2-bit ECC error, 1-bit ECC error. The deserializer also reports CSI synchronization error from the serializer. Referring to the DS90UB953 register dump CSI errors are reported in register 0x5E. This error is on lanes 0 and 1, with Lane 1: Multi-bit Error in SYNC Sequence - Uncorrectable and Lane 0: Single-bit Error in SYNC Sequence - Correctable. 

    Register 0x18, FS_CTL is set to 0x00 where Internally Generated Frame Sync is selected however, frame sync generator is disabled. Would you be able to set register 0x18 to 0x1 to enable the frame sync signal from the deserializer to the camera? More details on the configuration are shared in Section 7.4.27.2 Internally Generated FrameSync of the DS90UB954 Datasheet.

    Please let me know if the issue continues following this change.

    Best,

    Zoe

    Hi Zoe,

    I have changed the regiser 0x18 to 0x1 as you suggested. The 953 register 0x5E reported 0x44 as you can see the the register dump. 0x5C has the entry 0XFF. The issue is still existing. 

    Regards,

    Dusan

    Hi Dusan, 

    Since the error is occurring due to the input data to the DS90UB953 serializer, would you be able to provide the layout and schematic for the custom PCB to review? Additionally, when the camera was connected directly to the Raspberry Pi, was the camera located on the same PCB as the 953 or was this a separate PCB? 

    Best,

    Zoe

    Hi Zoe,

    yes, please find attached the schematic. Please consider that the resistor R1008 is placed. 

    Can you provide me your e-mail? I'll send you the PCB data via cryptshare. 

    The cameras is located seperatly, not on the PCB as the 953. Please see attached picture.

    Regards,

    Dusan

    Hello Dusan, 

    Thank you for your patience so far. I will review the schematics and register dumps once and provide feedback by 8/29 at the latest on this.

    At this time, I would like to focus on the CSI errors on the 953. To confirm, does the camera stream appear normal when connected to the Raspberry Pi? Were any errors reported? 

    My email is z-bison@ti.com 

    Best,

    Zoe

    Hello Zoe,

    yes, the camera stream appear normal when connected to Rasp, no error were reported.

    In the meantime I measured the MIPI CSI signals transmitted by the imager. I connected the probes on the connector pins between imager and 953.

    I used 500MHz diff probes and a 1GHz oszilloscope so the waveforms are not ideal.

    I wanted know if the D0_N/P and D1_N/P signals started at the same time without delay. They do it.

    Regards,

    Dusan

    Hi Dusan,

    Please allow until 8/30 to let me review the materials you have provided so far. 

    Kindly,

    Zoe

    Hello Zoe,

    I have changed the config of the imager. After this action I was able to measure a signal at the 954 output.

    The register 0x5E and 0x5F are 0x0. Please have a look on the register dump. I'm looking forward to your feedback.

    Best,

    Dusan

    Hi Dusan, 

    I'm glad you were able to solve the issue regarding the CSI errors input to the 935 and see the signal outputting to the 954.

    In the register dump, 0x4E is returning a value of 0x1D, denoting buffer error, line count change, and CSI-2 error.

    The CSI-2 errors are due to length error and checksum error, as seen in register 0x7A however, the number of errors are low. During initialization, if the CSI-2 errors are cleared, are they reoccurring? CSI-2 errors may be seen on startup due to the power up of the deserializer with respect to the serializer. However, these do not reflect CSI-2 errors during initialization. To see if these errors are reoccurring, I suggest reading 0x4E and 0x7A during initialization and seeing if there is a change in value. 

    Regarding the buffer error, this typically occurs when the input bandwidth is greater than the output bandwidth. Would you be able to share the video data parameters (resolution, bits per pixel, frame rate)?

    Hi Zoe,

    the CSI-2 errors were not reoccuring after initalization.

    The video data parameters are:

    size: 166x1300

    bit width: 8

    frame rate: 60fps

    Hi Dusan, 

    These video parameters are within the bandwidths limitations of the 954 and shouldn't be flagging an error. If this happens only after start up then the error can be cleared by reading the register once to clear.

    The buffer overflows when the data cannot be transmitted into the CSI output port faster than it is being received. The DS90UB954-Q1 has a 16kb line buffer (FIFO) per port, and would be able to support the format as long as the average rate of video lines coming in is slow enough to ensure that the line buffer won't overfill on the DES. Potential overflow of the DES depends on the configured CSI-2 output rate (FIFO drain rate) and the CSI-2 lane rate/line timing on the CSI-2 input side (FIFO fill rate).

    If the buffer error persists after initialization, I recommend increasing the output CSI-2 to 1.6 Gbps 0x1F=0x00 as this will increase the output bandwidth.

    Best,

    Zoe
