I2C detection

MINISASTOCSI camera chip is connected via I2C3. The most important address for correct detection is 0x3c.

root@imx8mq-voipac:~# i2cdetect -y 2
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
00:          -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: UU UU UU UU -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- UU -- -- --

50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

MINISASTOCSI camera can be also connected to I2C2 interface by moving 0R resistors. However second camera connected on CSI-2 interface have same address 0x3c as MINISASTOCSI camera connected on CSI-1 interface.

GPIO control

GPIO pins are controlled by the camera driver and access to these pins is blocked. Power on signal is recognised as GPIO 198, LED GPIO has number 199.

LED located on camera module can be tested by temporarily disabling mipi kernel module and toggling corresponding GPIO pin:

root@imx6s-openrex:~# modprobe -r ov5647_camera_mipi
root@imx6s-openrex:~# echo 199 > /sys/class/gpio/export
root@imx6s-openrex:~# echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio199/direction
root@imx6s-openrex:~# echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio199/value
root@imx6s-openrex:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio199/value
root@imx6s-openrex:~# echo 199 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
root@imx6s-openrex:~# modprobe ov5647_camera_mipi
