## Overlay vs Include by JetPack
26+
27+
| JetPack | Platform | Mechanism | File Type | How Applied |
28+
|---------|----------|-----------|-----------|-------------|
29+
| 4.6.1 | Xavier | `#include` into board DTS | `.dtsi` | Compiled into monolithic DTB |
30+
| 5.0.2, 5.1.2 | Xavier | `#include` into board DTS | `.dtsi` | Compiled into monolithic DTB |
31+
| 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.2.1 | Orin | DT overlay (`/plugin/`) | `.dts` → `.dtbo` | Applied at boot via extlinux.conf `OVERLAYS` |
32+
33+
**Xavier DTB output:** `tegra194-p2888-0001-p2822-0000.dtb` → deployed to `/boot/dtb/`
34+
**Orin DTB output:** `tegra234-p3737-0000+p3701-0000-nv.dtb` + `tegra234-camera-d4xx-overlay.dtbo` → DTB to `/boot/dtb/`, DTBO to `/boot/`

58+
**Note:** JP 4.6.1 uses direct address 0x10 without def-addr. JP 5.x/6.x use runtime addresses 0x1a/0x1b with def-addr 0x10.
59+
60+
## SerDes Configuration in DT
61+
62+
**Deserializer (MAX9296) @ 0x48:**
63+
- Compatible: `"nvidia,max9296"` (JP 4.6.1) / `"maxim,max9296"` (JP 5.x/6.x)
64+
- `csi-mode = "2x4"` — two 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 output ports
65+
- `max-src = <1>` (single) or `<2>` (dual)
66+
- `reset-gpios = <&gpio CAM0_RST_L GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>`
67+
68+
**Serializer (MAX9295):**
69+
- Compatible: `"nvidia,max9295"` (JP 4.6.1) / `"maxim,max9295"` (JP 5.x/6.x)
70+
- Primary @ 0x40: `is-prim-ser` property present
71+
- Camera A @ 0x42: linked via `maxim,gmsl-dser-device = <&dser>` (JP 5.x) or `nvidia,gmsl-dser-device = <&dser>` (JP 6.x)
72+
- Camera B @ 0x60: same link, dual-camera only
73+
74+
**GMSL Link Properties (JP 5.x/6.x only):**
75+
- `src-csi-port = "b"` — camera-side CSI port
76+
- `dst-csi-port = "a"` — Jetson-side CSI port
77+
- `serdes-csi-link = "a"` (cam 0) or `"b"` (cam 1)
78+
- `csi-mode = "1x4"` — one 4-lane CSI port per serializer
79+
80+
## MIPI CSI-2 Properties
81+
82+
| Property | Value | Notes |
83+
|----------|-------|-------|
84+
| `bus-width` | 2 | Lanes per sensor |
85+
| `pix_clk_hz` | 74250000 | 74.25 MHz pixel clock |
86+
| `mclk_khz` | 24000 | 24 MHz master clock |
87+
| `csi_pixel_bit_depth` | 16 | Bits per pixel |
88+
| `discontinuous_clk` | "no" | Continuous clock |
89+
| `embedded_metadata_height` | "1" (Depth/RGB) or "0" (IR/IMU) | Metadata lines |
90+
91+
**Pixel formats in DT:**
92+
- Depth: `pixel_t = "grey_y16"` (Z16)
93+
- RGB: `pixel_t = "grey_y16"` (placeholder — actual format is RGB888/UYVY)
94+
- IR: `pixel_t = "grey_y8"` or `"grey_y16"`
95+
- IMU: `pixel_t = "grey_y16"`
96+
97+
## Virtual Channel Mapping
98+
99+
**Single camera:**
100+
| VC | Sensor | cam-type | Resolution (DT) |
101+
|----|--------|----------|-----------------|
102+
| 0 | d4m0 | Depth | 1280x720 |
103+
| 1 | d4m1 | RGB | 1920x1080 |
104+
| 2 | d4m2 | Y8 (IR) | 1280x720 |
105+
| 3 | d4m3 | IMU | 640x480 |
106+
107+
**Dual camera (interleaved):**
108+
| VC | Camera 0 | Camera 1 |
109+
|----|----------|----------|
110+
| 0 | Depth | Y8 (IR) |
111+
| 1 | RGB | IMU |
112+
| 2 | Y8 (IR) | Depth |
113+
| 3 | IMU | RGB |
114+
115+
Camera 0: st-vc=0, vc-id 0,1,2,3. Camera 1: st-vc=0, vc-id 2,3,0,1.
116+
117+
## Single vs Dual Camera Differences
118+
119+
| Aspect | Single | Dual |
120+
|--------|--------|------|
121+
| VI channels | 4 | 8 |
122+
| CSI channels | 4 | 8 |
123+
| Serializers | 1 (ser_a @ 0x42) | 2 (ser_a @ 0x42, ser_b @ 0x60) |
124+
| MAX9296 max-src | `<1>` | `<2>` |
125+
| Camera I2C addrs | 0x1a | 0x1a and 0x1b |
126+
| GMSL links | `"a"` only | `"a"` and `"b"` |
127+

128+
| Device nodes | d4m0-d4m3 | d4m0-d4m7 |
129+
| File size | ~440 lines | ~810-820 lines |
130+
131+
JP 5.0.2 selects single/dual via `apply_patches.sh --one-cam` or `--dual-cam`. Other versions have separate files.
132+
133+
## Calibration (.calib.) Variants
134+
135+
- Structurally identical to non-calibration variants
136+
- Differ only in `overlay-name` (adds "Calibration" suffix)
137+
- Driver detects calibration mode from overlay name
138+
- Selected during `jetson-io.py` configuration at boot setup
139+
- 4 calibration files: single/dual for Xavier and Orin
140+
141+
## DT Platform Patches

158+
159+
**Orin (hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x/nv-public/):**
160+
161+
JP 6.x — 1 patch: `0001` — Adds D4XX overlay targets to `overlay/Makefile`
162+
163+
## DT Build and Deploy
164+
165+
**How DT sources are copied (apply_patches.sh):**
166+
```bash
167+
# JP 6.x: copy overlay .dts files
168+
cp hardware/realsense/tegra234-camera-d4xx-overlay*.dts \
169+
"sources_$VER/hardware/nvidia/t23x/nv-public/overlay/"
170+
171+
# JP 5.x: copy appropriate .dtsi (single or dual)
172+
cp "hardware/realsense/${JP5_D4XX_DTSI}" \
173+
"sources_$VER/hardware/nvidia/platform/t19x/galen/kernel-dts/common/tegra194-camera-d4xx.dtsi"
174+
```
175+
176+
**How DTBs are built (build_all.sh):**
177+
```bash
178+
# JP 4.6.1 / 5.x — DTBs built as part of kernel build:
179+
make ARCH=arm64 O=$TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT -j${NPROC}
180+
181+
# JP 6.x — explicit DTB/DTBO build:
182+
make ARCH=arm64 dtbs
183+
```
184+
185+
**Deployment:**
186+
```bash
187+
# Xavier: copy monolithic DTB
188+
scp tegra194-p2888-0001-p2822-0000.dtb jetson:/boot/dtb/
189+
190+
# Orin: copy base DTB + overlay
191+
scp tegra234-p3737-0000+p3701-0000-nv.dtb jetson:/boot/dtb/
192+
scp tegra234-camera-d4xx-overlay.dtbo jetson:/boot/
193+
194+
# Enable overlay in extlinux.conf:
195+
OVERLAYS /boot/tegra234-camera-d4xx-overlay.dtbo
196+
```
197+
198+
## GPIO Reference
199+
200+
- **Reset GPIO:** `CAM0_RST_L`
201+
- Xavier: `TEGRA194_MAIN_GPIO(H, 3)`, active high
202+
- Orin: `TEGRA234_MAIN_GPIO(H, 3)`, active high
203+
- Used by MAX9296 deserializer for hardware reset
204+
205+
## Troubleshooting Camera Detection
206+
207+
When a camera is not detected, check these in order:
208+
209+
### 1. Verify correct DT is loaded
210+
```bash
211+
# Orin: check active overlays
212+
cat /proc/device-tree/nvidia,dtbbuildtime # verify build time
213+
ls /proc/device-tree/bus@0/host1x@13e00000/nvcsi@15a00000/ # CSI nodes exist?
214+
ls /proc/device-tree/bus@0/i2c@3180000/tca9548@72/ # I2C mux present?
215+
216+
# Xavier:
217+
ls /proc/device-tree/host1x*/nvcsi*/
218+
ls /proc/device-tree/i2c@3180000/tca9548@72/
219+
```
220+
221+
### 2. Check I2C devices
222+
```bash
223+
# Scan I2C bus (bus 0 = 3180000)
224+
i2cdetect -y -r 0
225+
# Should see: 0x10 (camera), 0x40 (prim ser), 0x42 (ser_a), 0x48 (deser), 0x72 (mux)
226+
# Dual camera also: 0x60 (ser_b)
227+
```
228+
229+
### 3. Check kernel logs
230+
```bash
231+
dmesg | grep -i "d4xx\|max929\|tca954\|gmsl\|nvcsi\|tegra-vi"
232+
```
233+
234+
### 4. Verify overlay is applied (Orin JP 6.x)
235+
```bash
236+
cat /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf | grep OVERLAY
237+
# Should show: OVERLAYS /boot/tegra234-camera-d4xx-overlay.dtbo
238+
```
239+
240+
### 5. Common DT issues
241+
- **Wrong overlay:** Using single overlay with dual camera setup (or vice versa)
242+
- **Missing overlay in extlinux.conf:** DTBO exists but not referenced
243+
- **I2C address conflict:** Another device at 0x48, 0x40, or 0x72
244+
- **GPIO conflict:** CAM0_RST_L used by another driver
245+
- **Wrong JetPack DT:** Using Xavier DTSI on Orin or vice versa
246+
- **Stale DTB:** Built DTB not deployed after rebuild — always re-deploy after `build_all.sh`
247+
- **Calibration vs standard overlay:** Using `.calib.` variant unintentionally
248+
249+
### 6. Verify DT properties match hardware
250+
Read the DT node and confirm I2C addresses, GMSL link config, and CSI lanes match the physical wiring. Compare with the reference DT files in `hardware/realsense/`.
