Camera IPU6 (OVTI01AF) Not Working: Black Screen and Errors in Logs (intel nuc m15 lapbc710)

[deznod]

Description:

After installing and configuring all necessary drivers and libraries for the IPU6 camera, the camera does not work. When attempting to use the camera via GStreamer (gst-launch-1.0) or other applications, a black screen is displayed. Logs indicate several errors, particularly related to aiqb files and media format issues. My sensor INT3480 (OVTI01AF).

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Installed akmod-intel-ipu6 from RPM Fusion.
2. Install intel/ipu6-camera-bins
3. Installed required dependencies for ipu6-camera-hal:

    sudo dnf install expat-devel automake libtool libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libdrm-dev

3. Cloned the ipu6-camera-hal repository and built the project:

   git clone https://github.com/intel/ipu6-camera-hal.git
   cd ipu6-camera-hal
   mkdir build && cd build
   cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
         -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
         -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib \
         -DBUILD_CAMHAL_ADAPTOR=ON \
         -DBUILD_CAMHAL_PLUGIN=ON \
         -DIPU_VERSIONS="ipu6;ipu6ep;ipu6epmtl" \
         -DUSE_PG_LITE_PIPE=ON \
         ..
   make -j$(nproc)
   sudo make install

4. Attempted to run the camera using GStreamer:

   sudo -E gst-launch-1.0 icamerasrc buffer-count=7 ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2,width=1280,height=720 ! videoconvert ! ximagesink

5. Observed a black screen in applications like guvcview.

2. GStreamer Logs:

When running the GStreamer pipeline, the following errors occur:

3. Kernel Configuration:

The kernel configuration file shows that all necessary options for IPU6 are enabled:

CONFIG_VIDEO_INTEL_IPU6=m
CONFIG_IPU_ISYS_BRIDGE=y
CONFIG_IPU_BRIDGE=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_OV01A1S=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_OV01A10=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_HM11B1=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_OV02C10=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_OV02E10=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_HM2170=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_HM2172=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_HI556=m

---

Expected Behavior:

The camera should be operational and display video feed in applications like guvcview or gst-launch-1.0. There should be no errors in the logs, and the camera should be properly configured with the correct media format.

---

Actual Behavior:

• The camera displays a black screen in applications.
• Multiple errors related to aiqb files and media format issues are present in the logs.

Environment:

• Operating System: Fedora 41
• Kernel Version: 6.12.10-200.fc41.x86_64
• GStreamer Version: 1.22.11
• IPU6 Driver Version: master branch
