| 4 | +**PR:** https://github.com/espressif/esp-video-components/pull/46 |
| 5 | +**Status:** ✅ Cleaned up and ready for review |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +--- |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## What Was Done |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +### 1. Removed Experimental VTS Changes |
| 12 | +**Before:** |
| 13 | +- Commit 1: `dddc26e` - feat(esp_cam_sensor): Add OV02C10 MIPI camera sensor driver ✅ |
| 14 | +- Commit 2: `d333ee3` - JC4880P443-19 WIP - Fix OV02C10 2-lane register 0x4837 ❌ (REMOVED) |
| 15 | +- Commit 3: `28df8c3` - JC4880P443-19 WIP - Test VTS=900 ❌ (REMOVED) |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +**After:** |
| 18 | +- Commit 1: `dddc26e` - feat(esp_cam_sensor): Add OV02C10 MIPI camera sensor driver ✅ |
| 19 | +- **Clean single-commit PR ready for Espressif review** |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +### 2. Why Experimental Commits Were Removed |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +**Finding:** VTS changes (1164 → 1500) were **unnecessary** |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +**Root Cause Identified:** |
| 26 | +- Frame rate issues were caused by **ISP bandwidth limitations** on ESP32-P4 |
| 27 | +- ISP @ 80MHz cannot process 1920x1080 @ 30fps (2.07M pixels) |
| 28 | +- ISP @ 80MHz CAN process 1288x728 @ 30fps (937K pixels, 45% reduction) |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +**Original VTS Values Are Correct:** |
| 31 | +```c |
| 32 | +#define OV02C10_1LANE_10BIT_1288x728_30FPS_VTS 0x048c // 1164 decimal - CORRECT |
| 33 | +#define OV02C10_1LANE_10BIT_1920x1080_30FPS_VTS 0x048c // 1164 decimal - CORRECT |
| 34 | +#define OV02C10_2LANE_10BIT_1920x1080_30FPS_VTS 0x048c // 1164 decimal - CORRECT |
| 35 | +``` |
| 36 | +
|
| 37 | +**Register 0x4837 Must Remain 0x15:** |
| 38 | +- This is manufacturer-calibrated MIPI PCLK period |
| 39 | +- **CRITICAL:** Changing this breaks frame acquisition completely |
| 40 | +- Confirmed through extensive testing |
| 41 | +
|
| 42 | +--- |
| 43 | +
|
| 44 | +## Test Results Summary |
| 45 | +
|
| 46 | +### ✅ Working Configuration (Verified on ESP32-P4) |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | +Resolution: 1288x728 |
| 49 | +MIPI Lanes: 1-lane |
| 50 | +Format: RAW10 |
| 51 | +Frame Rate: 30.1 FPS stable |
| 52 | +ISP Clock: 80MHz |
| 53 | +VTS: 1164 (0x048c) - original value |
| 54 | +Register 0x4837: 0x15 - manufacturer value |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +**Performance:** |
| 58 | +- Frame intervals: 33,175-33,181 µs (30.1 fps) |
| 59 | +- No errors or warnings |
| 60 | +- Real camera data streaming: 0x18a3, 0x20c4, 0x51eb, 0x59ca |
| 61 | +- ISP RAW10 → RGB565 conversion working perfectly |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +### ⚠️ Untested Configuration |
| 64 | +``` |
| 65 | +Resolution: 1920x1080 |
| 66 | +MIPI Lanes: 2-lane |
| 67 | +Format: RAW10 |
| 68 | +Frame Rate: Unknown (not tested with higher ISP clock) |
| 69 | +``` |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +**Note:** 1920x1080 @ 2-lane may work with: |
| 72 | +- Higher ISP clock (>80MHz) |
| 73 | +- Different hardware (not ESP32-P4) |
| 74 | +- But was not tested in this PR |
| 75 | + |

| 130 | +## Update: Cleaned Up PR |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +I've force-pushed to remove experimental VTS timing commits. After extensive testing with ESP32-P4, I determined: |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +### Key Findings |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +1. **Original VTS values (1164/0x048c) are correct** - No changes needed |
| 137 | +2. **Frame rate issues were ISP bandwidth related**, not sensor timing |
| 138 | +3. **Register 0x4837=0x15 is critical** - Manufacturer calibrated, must not change |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +### Verified Configuration |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +✅ **1288x728 @ 1-lane RAW10 @ 30fps** - Tested and working perfectly |
| 143 | +- Frame rate: 30.1 FPS stable (33,176 µs intervals) |
| 144 | +- ISP @ 80MHz on ESP32-P4 |
| 145 | +- Real camera data confirmed |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +⚠️ **1920x1080 @ 2-lane RAW10 @ 30fps** - Not tested |
| 148 | +- May require ISP clock >80MHz |
| 149 | +- Register values from manufacturer datasheet |
| 150 | +- Should work on appropriate hardware |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +### PR Now Contains |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +- Single clean commit with OV02C10 driver |
| 155 | +- 3 format register arrays (1-lane 728p, 1-lane 1080p, 2-lane 1080p) |
| 156 | +- Manufacturer-calibrated timing registers |
| 157 | +- Tested on ESP32-P4 with ISP integration |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +Ready for review! 🚀 |

| 180 | +## Lessons Learned |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +1. **Always test with baseline first** before making changes |
| 183 | +2. **ISP bandwidth is a bottleneck** - resolution matters more than sensor timing |
| 184 | +3. **Manufacturer registers are usually correct** - only change if proven necessary |
| 185 | +4. **Clean git history is important** for open-source contributions |
| 186 | +5. **Document findings clearly** for reviewers and future maintainers |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +--- |

| 199 | + |
| 200 | +--- |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +## Conclusion |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +✅ **PR is now clean and ready for Espressif review!** |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +The OV02C10 driver contains: |
| 207 | +- Proper register configuration from manufacturer |
