I think I had it set up to build for tda3xx_rvp_bios_all, but in addition to the build for tda3xx_rvp I also built an AppImage for tda3xx_evm on accident so maybe I got them confused and put the evm one on my SD card. Would running the AppImage generated from the wrong MAKECONFIG produce the error I keep seeing?

I'm trying to run Single Camera Usecases --> 1CH VIP capture + Display.
The camera is connected, but its an ov10640 sensor not an ov10635.

Hi Adam,

You can try the clean build in order to make sure that you are using the correct AppImage. But OV10640 will not work for OV10635 use case.
Can you try with OV10635.

Hi Adam,

Assuming the following
A. Camera module is connected to RVP via FPD Link III (Refer VisionSDK_UserGuide_TDA3xx_RVP.pdf Section "ISS Multiple Channel (SRV) Use-case Hardware Setup") Note that casing for RVP is removed in this picture.
B. Camera module is IMI (i.e. OV10640 with UB913 Serializer)

Please check on the following
0. Connect the camera module to one of connector on the edge (i.e. connector on the boundary)
1. Ensure it's built as described in section "Building the application" of VisionSDK_UserGuide_TDA3xx_RVP.pdf
2. Choose OV10640 as described in section "Run the demo" of VisionSDK_UserGuide_TDA3xx_RVP.pdf
3. Choose "5: ISS Usecases, (TDA3x ONLY)""
4. Choose "1: 1CH ISS capture + ISS ISP + ISS LDC+VTNF + Display"

If you still see failure, connect the camera to
0. Connect the camera to other edge connector and repeat above steps (1 to 4)

I tried the steps you provided and the TDA threw the following error when the camera was plugged in to both edge connectors:

[IPU1-0] 18.715945 s: I2C0: Error timeout 1 ms!!!
[IPU1-0] 18.716006 s: Assertion @ Line: 384 in /srv/jenkins/workspace/Vision_SDK/D3_Platform/Vision_SDK_3.02.00.00/sdk_manager/staging/vision_sdk/apps/src/rtos/iss/src/common/app_util_iss.c: 0 == status : failed !!!

The initial configuration goes through. It seems like the tda3 is timing out when it tries to connect to i2c devices during start up.

Also here are some pictures of the camera module:

The Camera module seems okay, let me check with others.
