TMDSCM572X: Camera Module (TMDSCM572X) not working with my AM5728 Evaluation Board

Not sure why the post is only showing the image of the device, I wrote a lot of information on the problem. 

Basically, new module, and a new AM5728, connected the hardware with the screws. 

Using the original OS that comes with the unit on an SD CARD, cannot find a "camera app" to show what the camera can do, 

There is a "Multimedia" icon at the bottom of the first page, when I click it, I get the message above, as-if the camera isn't connected or detected.

I don't know how to check if the camera is faulty or if it is actually working

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks

I would appreciate if anyone could please share any info to go in the right direction, I need any CCS or built-in apps, or built-in SDCARD / Linux or RTOS to just power up the camera module and find out if it's working.

Thanks

Hi Heider,

Can you please share which SDK version you are using?

Good morning Parth

Thank you for responding to my query. 

I am using:

1) The latest CCS (112.0) (well the DIR is ccs1120) all upgraded to the latest version

2) TI-RTOS with all item version below (taken from a DIR command):

I am not using anything else, all re-installed lately. 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

One more thing, with the original SDCARD that comes with the unit, is there any way to use that to power the camera up? or do I have to develop something to get this to work? 

The reason is that I am new to the camera module and have no code/example to help me seeing this, I thought it's easier to use anything that is shipped by TI initially.

Kind Regards

Hi Heider,

RTOS SDK does not have any camera application.

In Linux SDK we do have a dual camera application, but looks like that broke in SDK 8.2. I guess it should be working with SDK 6.3. I am checking this internally with the team.

I am not sure which SDK version is shipped with the SD Card, can you please check the Linux version once?

Parth

Thank you Parth

Would appreciate any way of seeing the camera working in action, I don't mind installing any SDK (provided you could kindly share the URL for it). 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards
Heider

Thank you VERY much Parth

I am checking the URL you sent and will get back to you as soon as possible.

Kind Regards
Heider

Thank you VERY much Parth

I tried this and everything now works fine, this confirms that the camera is not dead at least and that there is something I can develop.

Before we close the ticket, the link you sent me contains CCS v9.3, since I am on v11.2, does that mean I should downgrade my 11.2 into 9.3 to develop on the camera? I am asking as there is no separate SDK folder and all seems to be embedded into CCS instead.

Please let me know

Kind Regards,

Heider

Thank you Parth, 

You've been brilliant. 

Best Regards
Heider
