RPi driver configuration for 1800 C-030 VSWIR camera

[sergio-grovety]

Could you please provide correct way of the initialization and frame acquisition of 1800 C-030 VSWIR camera?
I've tried following:

media-ctl -d1 --set-v4l2 '16:0 [fmt:Y8_1X8/656x520 field:none colorspace:raw ycbcr:default quantization:default]'
media-ctl -d1 --set-v4l2 '1:0 [fmt:Y8_1X8/656x520 field:none colorspace:raw ycbcr:default quantization:default]'

v4l2-ctl --device=/dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=656,height=520,pixelformat=GREY

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ v4l2-ctl --device=/dev/video0 --stream-mmap=1 --stream-count=1 --stream-to=frame.raw
VIDIOC_STREAMON returned -1 (Invalid argument)
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ dmesg
[28069.669455] rp1-cfe 1f00128000.csi: csi2_ch0 node link is not enabled.

I've tried to enable the link, but without any result:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ media-ctl -d /dev/media1 --link '1:4' '18:0' 1
Unable to parse link: Invalid argument (22)

output of media-ctl -p is here media-ctl.txt

Hi All,

I'm getting the same error with Alvium 1800 C-240 and RPi 5. @dlangenkamp-avt could you please help?

Cheers,
Taras

Hi,

the readme is missing one step. The link between the csi subdevice and video device needs to be enabled.
You can do this by running the following command: media-ctl -d<X> -l '1:4 -> 18:0 [1]'.
I have updated the readme with the missing instructions.

Best regards
Dennis

Edit: Fixed typo in media-ctl command. The media device id of the csi subdevice is 1 and not 0.

Hi Dennis, thanks for the updates. It works now with RPi5 and your latest changes.
