Dear Sir,

I am working with

PSDK 08_02_00_05

Serializer: DS90UB913A-Q1 (ISX016)

Deserializer: DS90UB964-Q1EVM

Last Friday, we tested the application and it was working fine. But when we tested the same application on Monday the Camera was not working.

Observation:

When the application is started, the logs of the camera loads very slowly( each line takes 10-20sec)

We wait for the application to completely start(waiting for 4-5 minutes), and the display is empty with the Core utilization graphics.

I am sharing the logs for the same:

please let me know, what could be the possible reason for this behaviour.

For your reference please find the deserializer, we have modified the j30 jumper to make the 4-camera run with the deserializer

I'm suspecting HW issue here if this is the case. Have you tested the same on different set of HW and seeing the same issue?

Hello Sir,

I don't have another one to test.

I want a confirmation that the slow loading of logs is a sign of a hardware issue.

If it is, which component could be responsible for the same?

Note: I have an extension board, which can detect the reverse current, so when we used to connect the deserializer with the extension board we used to observe a reverse current signal in the extension board.

Could you please give a think on this scenario also?

Thanks and Regards,

Vyom Mishra

Hi Vyom,

Deserializer should not affect your log speed.

Do you also see the linux boot logs coming at the same speed?

Nikhil

Hello Nikhil,

Linux boot logs are displayed at normal speed.
The log speed drops once the app initiates camera configuration.

Thanks and regards.

TI__Guru 68336 points

Hi,

In that case, may I know where did you obtain the deserializer configuration? As the SDK only has UB960 DES configuration, did you obtain UB964 DES configuration from somewhere?

Also, if you have a DS960 fusion 1 board, can you check if you are seeing this issue there too?

Regards,

Nikhil

Hello Nikhil,

We received partial settings for UB964 from a third party, based on which we developed the working interface.

We cannot check immediately if the issue occurs for UB960, because we would have to first migrate the camera interface to UB960. And even if we somehow manage to get the interface working with UB960, it is not really helpful because our customer's environment is based on UB964.

Is it possible to tell whether all EVM switches and jumpers are set correctly from the given picture?

Thanks and regards.

Hi Sagar,

The image attached is of the UB964 board, to review the board switches and jumper, I shall loop in the FPD team here. Please expect a response from them here.

Nikhil

Hello,

Please see link to user guide for the 964.

ti.com/lit/ug/snlu177/snlu177.pdf?ts=1711485081575&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Ftool%252FDS90UB964-Q1EVM

I have extracted the step on how to set-up EVM.

Make sure to set S1 switch to the correct mode.

Hey Glen,

The deserializer configuration was done earlier as per the vendor's suggestion and the setup was working fine.

Suddenly the setup stopped working and this query was raised for the same.

We are looking for support to resolve the hardware issue suspected by Nikhil.

Kindly help us.

Thanks and Regards,

Vyom Mishra

Hi Vyom,

Can you give me more information on the actual setup? Do you have DS90UB913 in all 4 port? What kind of testing where you completing when it started to fail?

Do you have power to the EVM? Can you provide register dump from 964 for all ports?

Glenn
