c. With a "light"(no ddr, only 2 channels) x359.bit, configuration and switching work. There's an unclear moment with a need for soft reset in scripts. this needs testing a little.

TODO

a. Make "light" x359.bit for 3 channels, verify and test.

b. Make standard x359.bit with correct switching.

c. Make clear with scripts.

Conclusion

I think all that broken frames came from channel switching only. E.g., the 1st channel is configured and starts giving out a frame and I switch to configure the 2nd channel in the middle of the frame. But in most experiments I was lucky in this case. Frames were broken after back-switching to the 1st channel.

Are the frames become broken after: 

1) camera_demo.php
2) sensors_init.php
3) "get frame" 
4) "switch to channel 2"
5) "get frame"
6) "switch to channel 1"

If yes, does turning off the compressor help? I mean: 

change channel -> compressor start -> get frame -> compressor stop -> change channel

If you don't use sensors_init.php after camera_demo.php you can try to move function dcm_reset() from sensors_init.php to camera_demo.php before getting a frame.
