Questions about RT1160's camera interface and software supports status

Frank_Jianpeng_Zhao — Wed, 12 Jan 2022 01:38:48 GMT

Hi，

I have two general questions about RT1160.

1. Can the Parallel Camera Sensor Interface(CSI) and MIPI Camera Interface (MIPI CSI) be used at same time? In other words, can the RT1160 support two cameras at once?

2. Regarding software support, what operating systems are already to run on the RT1160, Linux, FreeRTOS...?

BR,

Frank

Hi @Frank_Jianpeng_Zhao

Thanks for your question, just as we talked in the internal TEAMS:

1. Can the Parallel Camera Sensor Interface(CSI) and MIPI Camera Interface (MIPI CSI) be used at same time? In other words, can the RT1160 support two cameras at once?

Answer: MIPI-CSI and parallel CSI can't work at the same time, as the MIPI CSI and parallel CSI at last connect together to the CSI module, so if the customer needs two Camera work at the same time, we suggest one connect MIPI-CSI or parallel CSI, another connect to the flexIO, use the FlexIO simulate it.

This is the flexIO camera application note:

2. Regarding software support, what operating systems are already to run on the RT1160, Linux, FreeRTOS...?

Answer: Now, RT1160 SDK support the freertos, you can let the customer check the SDK code directly:

Wish it helps you!
