I'm wondering if there is a way to use the 16-bit Pre-AGC output through the M0153 Boson MIPI interface - I imagine that would require at least a different '.bin' file on the VOXL2 side?

RE: VOXL2 Mini / AR0144 J7 Group 1 / voxl-fsync-mod
I can confirm that multi-camera triggering works with a very minor patch:

RE: VOXL2 Mini / AR0144 J7 Group 1 / voxl-fsync-mod
Thanks! I was able to grab and flash SDK 1.3.0 yesterday and it's been working well.
com.qti.sensormodule.ar0144_fsin_2.bin does seem to work - I'm able to configure gpio_num to 114 and control the ar0144 rate with voxl_fsync_mod.
The max frame rate I saw indoors was 43.5hz with sampling_period_ns set to 23000000, and outdoors was 52.6hz with sampling_period_ns set to 19000000. I suspect this is somehow related to exposure time (or an exposure cap) although I see a solid 60hz indoors and outdoors when I manually configure the frame rate. For reference, this is all measured with gstreamer qtiqmmfsrc into OpenCV and then ROS2, which could definitely impact performance and exposure control.
I'll try out a multi-gpio kernel module modification! Thanks again!

VOXL2 Mini / AR0144 J7 Group 1 / voxl-fsync-mod
I have been able to successfully compile and run voxl-fsync-mod on the VOXL2 Mini to generate trigger pulses on GPO 41 (on connector J10) for an external USB camera. Next, I would like to trigger our AR0144 (MSU-M0149-1) module, which is connected to J7 Group 1 (sensor3) through MDK-M0076-1-00. If I'm parsing this page correctly, I will want to trigger on pin 114. I think I will also need 'com.qti.sensormodule.ar0144_fsin_3.bin' from Modal to enable sync input for the image sensor.
Is this understanding correct? And would I be able to get that 'bin' file to support this configuration?
Other minor related questions:
- Is VOXL2 Mini 1.7.X still due to be released soon (so that we can have voxl-fsync-mod built in)?
- If we want to trigger multiple cameras on different GPIO, is our best bet to modify voxl-fsync-mod to toggle multiple pins within fsync_hrtimer_tick_cb?
