Issue loading camera overlay

JamesZiegler — Fri, 04 Apr 2025 15:49:12 GMT

I'm trying to get the camera on my kits working, but am having issues loading the camera overlay. u-boot gives the following message:

Loading fdt <overlay-cam1-ap1302.dtb> from mmc 1:1
Failed to load 'overlay-cam1-ap1302.dtb'
Loading overlay-cam1-ap1302.dtb to 0x43100000 failed
WARN: Cannot load the DT

The LED on the camera board is on, I have tried 2 cables and camera boards (I have 2 kits). Any other suggestions that I can try?

Thanks,

Jaems

i.MX 8M+ Edge AI Kit 4M UART

ilanganor — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 04:30:22 GMT

I am testing UART /dev/ttymxc0

I can reach UART speeds of up to 1M

1. how can I readch 4M?

2. I think a specific IMX8 patch needs to be applied in order to support that, is that correcT? if so which?

building from source without scotty

ilanganor — Wed, 15 May 2024 04:03:09 GMT

Hello

build instructions here: www.avnet.com/.../i.MX_8M_Plus_Edge_AI_Kit-Linux-Yocto-Development_Guide-V1.1-EN.pdf

involves usage of "scotty"

this complicates the build for me

I want to build just using repo and standard build

such as:

repo init -u ssh://git@github.com/avnet-embedded/simplecore-manifest.git -b kirkstone

please providee full instructions

Access to Edge AI Kit BSP

andynic — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 01:06:01 GMT

Hello, I received my IMX8M Plus Edge AI Kit and would like access to the BSP used for Yocto. I will be attempting to first get Yocto functioning and perhaps OpenWRT also, so any data from Yocto BSP or support files may help my experiments.

Please advise. Proof of purchase should be in my account somewhere.

Thank you!

Access to i210 on SMARC SOM?

andynic — Fri, 08 Dec 2023 08:44:12 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if the IMX8M Plus Edge AI kit allows access to the Intel i210 which is, evidently on the SMARC SOM? Is the diagram below from AVNET correct -- it shows 2 PHYs connected to the same network box which seems wrong?

Highlighted box below.

Is the i210 on the Carrier board or on the IMX8M SOM?

Hi,

Where can i find a working out of the box firmware image for the AES-IMX8PLUS-A1-DEV-KIT-G?
I followed the links provided in the instructions and all i get is an empty sharepoint with no image available.

Details:
We received and assembled the AES-IMX8PLUS-A1-DEV-KIT-G kit and tried following the links provided on the website and in the instruction to dowload an Out-Of-The-Box Image. Link found on this page:
Avnet i.MX 8M Plus Edge AI Kit | Avnet Boards

Before registering with this forum I was presented with "no access".
After registering, the link shows an empty sharepoint page. Nothing to download?

Please advice on actions so that I can find the latest working image for this dev kit.

Best

Issues with Avnet i.MX 8M Plus Kit

mostapha.barizoui — Mon, 15 May 2023 13:21:18 GMT

Hello Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I'm writing to you concerning some technical issues I've been experiencing with my AP1302 camera driver and a GStreamer pipeline on my i.MX8M Plus system.

Firstly, upon testing the camera, I noticed an error in the dmesg logs that indicated a failure to read a register from the AP1302 during initialization. I've ensured that the correct device tree overlay is being used and that the hardware connections are properly set up, but the issue persists.

I have carefully verified that the correct overlays (overlay-cam1-ap1302-ar1335-dual.dtbo) are being used for the camera setup.

The relevant error message from the logs is as follows:

I have attempted to debug this issue, notably by checking the I2C bus using the i2cdetect command. The AP1302's address (0x3c) is not present on any of the I2C buses, which might indicate a communication problem with the camera.

Secondly, I have been trying to run a GStreamer pipeline that uses a TensorFlow Lite model for inference on the camera images (gstnninferencedemo-posenet-camera). The pipeline fails to run properly, and the error messages seem to suggest issues with memory allocation and data format negotiation between the pipeline elements. Here's an excerpt from the error message:

ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0: Failed to allocate required memory.

Additional debug info:

../git/sys/v4l2/gstv4l2src.c(659): gst_v4l2src_decide_allocation (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0:

Buffer pool activation failed

While I've been trying to debug these issues separately, it's possible that they might be related. For example, if the AP1302 driver issue is preventing the system from correctly obtaining camera images, it could potentially be the cause of the issues with the GStreamer pipeline as well.

I would appreciate your assistance in resolving these issues. Please let me know if you need any further information, or if there are any specific steps you recommend me to take in debugging these problems.

Best regards,

Are the sources for the i.MX 8M+ Edge AI Kit Yocto Build, and a developer's guide, posted at a public address somewhere?

maaxboard technical documents

sindhu — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 05:02:12 GMT

Hi,

We are having Maaxboard. We want to connect Jtag debugger to board. How can we connect? In board we have Jtag connections. But we are unable to connect Jtag. So we need technical documents like Schematic and layout of board.
