PROCESSOR-SDK-AM68A: Issue with AM69A and V3Link Camera Kit

Hi,

Is this issue consistent or does it flicker around as you move the sensor? Could you try swapping the FPDLink cable for the imx219 sensor that has the issue with one of the working ones to determine whether this is a cable or sensor problem?

For your convenience, I recommend using this configuration file to see all 4 streams at once:

Hi Fabiana,

Thank you for your response.

I ran the program using the configuration file you provided, and the video from all four cameras displayed correctly. However, when I reduce the number of flows in the configuration file, the video from the 0th camera becomes distorted. This issue can be reproduced when only flow0 is enabled. I also tried swapping the cameras and cables, but the issue persisted.

Thank you,

Shotaro

Hi Shotaro,

Could you provide more details about your testing? When you are swapping the cameras and cables around, are the inputs in your flows remaining the same? Does the issue seem to be coming from a single sensor? If so, I suggest you get in contact with Arducam about this issue as it appears that this may be a hardware issue.

Thank you,

Fabiana

Hi Fabiana,

Thank you for your response.

We are keeping the inputs in the flows the same, only enabling flow0 while swapping the sensor devices and cables. This suggests that the issue is not related to the sensor or cable hardware. Additionally, when the video output is abnormal, the frame rate shows as 60, although it should be set to 30, which indicates a peculiar phenomenon.

Best regards,

Shotaro

Hi Shotaro,

Thank you for the additional information. Please allow me some time to run some tests on my end and discuss the issue with our dev team.

Best Regards,

Fabiana

Fabiana,

Thank you for investigating this issue. I will wait for the resolution.

Best regards,

Shotaro

Hi Shotaro,

I will come back and update once changes are made. Closing this thread for now.

Thank you,

Fabiana
