Abstract
A system may include a camera module having error generation circuitry, and processing circuitry that processes image data from the camera module. The processing circuitry may include error detection circuitry that monitors or otherwise processes the image data to verify correct operation of the camera module. To test for correct operation of the error detection circuitry, the processing circuitry may provide a control signal to the camera module that enables error generation and selects a type of fault for the error generation circuitry to emulate. In response to receiving the control signal, the error generation circuitry may emulate the fault at the camera module to produce faulty image data. The error generation circuitry may emulate the fault by modifying control signals at the camera module or modifying the digital image data stream produced by the camera module.
