1 Overview

The MV series cameras are cameras introduced for AI applications in the industrial field. It uses the MIPI CSI-2 interface, which is especially suitable for embedded computing platforms.

It features rich data formats and trigger characteristics, extremely low latency, extremely high bandwidth and reliable stability.

This article describes how to use the MV series camera on the NVIDIA Jetson platform.

3 Upgrade Jetson system

This section describes how to upgrade the Jetson system to support MV camera module. For OS update method, please refer to Update Jetson OS.

Specially, for MV series camera, besides adding the camera driver in Linux system, we also add a kernel patch - veye_mv_l4t_<version>.patch. We provide compiled Image files.

This patch has two features:

  1. Added support for both Y10 and Y12 data formats for Mono cameras.
  2. Added support for trigger mode.

3.1 Description of raw data image format

On TX2 and XAVIER, 10 bit depth and 12 bit depth raw data is stored in memory in a format that is not compliant with the V4L2 standard. We have extended the definition in the linux kernel to support this case.

TY10, TY12, XY10 and XY12 are the new types we have added.

3.1.1 Nano
Depth Bit order FourCC Enumerator
8 B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 GREY V4L2_PIX_FMT_GREY
10 0 0 0 0 0 0 B9 B8 B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 'Y10 ' V4L2_PIX_FMT_Y10
12 0 0 0 0 B11 B10 B9 B8 B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 'Y12 ' V4L2_PIX_FMT_Y12

12 0 0 B11 B10 B9 B8 B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 X X TY12 V4L2_PIX_FMT_TX2_Y12
3.1.3 XAVIER

8 B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 GREY V4L2_PIX_FMT_GREY
10 0 B9 B8 B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 X X X X X XY10 V4L2_PIX_FMT_XAVIER_Y10
12 0 B11 B10 B9 B8 B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 X X X XY12 V4L2_PIX_FMT_XAVIER_Y12

Also, we provide tool software in order to convert these special data formats to standard formats: https://github.com/veyeimaging/pixel_layer_convert.

We recommend using vooya as the player.

3.1.4 Support for trigger mode

The default driver for Jetson systems only supports video streaming mode. In its VI driver, the data reception function has a timeout mechanism. We have added a settable vi_time_out_disable option to dynamically turn this timeout mechanism on and off.

Refer to the following application example for specific applications.

4 Check system status

After system update, reboot the Jetson board.

During the Jetson system boot process, it detects the presence of cameras on all i2c buses and generates the /dev/videoX device node if it exists.

Execute the following command on the Jetson board to check if the camera is properly connected.

dmesg | grep mvcam

You can see the camera model and the camera version number probed.

A prompt as below indicates that the MV-MIPI-IMX178M camera is detected on the i2c-10 bus.

mvcam 10-003b: camera is: MV-MIPI-IMX178M

mvcam 10-003b: firmware version: 0x1080103

4.1 /dev/videoX node

The camera module is mapped as /dev/videoX device node in the Jetson system.

During the OS boot process, the cameras are detected in the order of the i2c bus. The X value is incremented from 0 according to the logical order of detection.

For instance, if only one camera is connected, X is 0 regardless of the location to which the hardware is connected. If 5 cameras are connected, X is [0-4] according to i2c bus from smallest to largest.

The v4l2-ctl command uses -d /dev/videoX to access different cameras.

In gstreamer, v4l2src can access different cameras by specifying device=/dev/videoX.

5 Configuring  global variables

For the convenience of later descriptions, global variables are configured here according to the sensor size.

Camera Controls

               preferred_stride 0x009a206e (int)    : min=0 max=65535 step=1 default=0 value=0

            vi_time_out_disable 0x009a2078 (bool)   : default=0 value=0

Parameters can be set and get using the following methods.

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl [ctrl_type]=[val]

v4l2-ctl --get-ctrl [ctrl_type]

All the above functions can be implemented using mv_mipi_i2c.sh.

None of the above parameters can be modified in the state when the image acquisition is started.

Each of them is described below:

6.2.3 horizontal and vertical flip
  • horizontal flip

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl horizontal_flip=1

  • vertical flip

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl vertical_flip=1

6.2.4 Trigger Mode

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl trigger_mode=[0-2]

0:Video streaming mode

1:Normal trigger mode.

2:High-speed continuous trigger mode.

6.2.5 Trigger Source

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl trigger_src=[0-1]

0: Software trigger mode.

1: Hardware trigger mode.

6.2.6 Software trigger command

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl soft_trgone=1

6.2.7 Set frame rate

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl frame_rate=[1-max]

The maximum frame rate is automatically updated as the resolution changed.

6.2.8 Set ROI and pixel format

For example:

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl roi_x=0

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl roi_y=0

v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=$WIDTH,height=$HEIGHT,pixelformat=GREY

The maximum frame rate will be adjusted automatically after setting ROI. Please note that the camera ROI parameters need to comply with the requirements in the camera manual.

6.2.9 preferred_stride

The preferred_stride refers to the memory size required for one line of image data. Image data for the Jetson platform is stored unpacked, i.e., one pixel occupies two bytes in the 10-bit depth and 12-bit depth data formats.

  • In the normal case, the buffer needs to be 64 bytes aligned.

preferred_stride= ALIGN_UP(width*bytes_per_pixel,64)

For instance, if the width is 3088:

8bit depth,preferred_stride=3136;

10bit depth,preferred_stride=6208;

12bit depth,preferred_stride=6208;

  • If VIC buffer is used, 256 bytes alignment is required.

preferred_stride= ALIGN_UP(width*bytes_per_pixel,256)

6.3 Video Streaming mode

6.3.1 Set ROI and format

Take set ROI to sensor size as an example.

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl roi_x=0

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl roi_y=0

v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=$WIDTH,height=$HEIGHT,pixelformat=GREY

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl frame_rate=$FPS

6.3.2 Frame rate statistics

In streaming mode, the following commands can be used for frame rate statistics.

v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=$WIDTH,height=$HEIGHT,pixelformat=GREY --stream-mmap --stream-count=-1 --stream-to=/dev/null

6.4.2.3 Perform soft trigger operation

In other shell terminals, you can execute the following command multiple times for multiple triggers.

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl soft_trgone=1

6.4.2.4 Stop triggering and capturing

Since the kernel driver is waiting for new images, you need to cancel vi_time_out_disable before exiting the acquisition operation.

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl vi_time_out_disable=0

In the terminal of the acquisition command, press Ctrl+C to exit the acquisition operation.

6.4.3 Hardware trigger mode

To use jetson-gpio for trigger operation, please install and configure jetson-gpio first.

The following is an example of using jetson GPIO40 (Board number) as the trigger source and rising edge triggering.

You can use the mv_mipi_i2c.sh script to set other trigger parameters.

6.4.3.1 Hardware Connection
  • Using ADP-MV1
    MV camera hardware trigger connection
  • Using ADP-N4

If a common trigger source connection is used, J7 is first shorted in pairs, and then connect the jetson GPIO40 to J19-1.

ADP-N4 common trigger source


If the independent trigger source connection is used, the GPIO40 is directly connected to J7-1 ---- J7-11.

6.4.3.2 Set mode

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl trigger_mode=1

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl trigger_src=1

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl vi_time_out_disable=1

6.4.3.3 Start acquisition

6.4.3.4 Perform hardware trigger operation

python gpio_trigger_jetson.py

Note: script link.

6.4.3.5 Stop triggering and capturing

Since the kernel driver is waiting for new images, you need to cancel vi_time_out_disable before exiting the acquisition operation.

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl vi_time_out_disable=0

In the terminal of the acquisition command, press Ctrl+C to exit the acquisition operation.
