MIPI Gasket, IPU, CSI and Device tree

davider — Fri, 10 Oct 2014 12:52:50 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to write a DTS (Linux 3.10.17) for our custom designed board. I need to use all the 4 i.MX6D/Q CSI interfaces to acquire 4 MIPI streams on 4 virtual channels simultaneously.

Is it possible using existent drivers and bindings, or does it require to extend their functionalities (or to write a new driver)?

Hi Davide

yes this will require new drivers, also it may be useful

to check below discussion. Existent drivers and bindings

support only i.MX6 Sabre reference board configuration (one MIPI and one CSI parallel camera)

4 video capture using MIPI-CSI2 port

Best regards

igor

Ok, thank you.

You have confimed my fears... Even if it does not seems that difficult to extend the whole stuff, it will nonetheless be quite time consuming.
