parallel CSI camera on MIMXRT1170-EVKB

zohargolan — Thu, 01 May 2025 15:18:05 GMT

Hi all,
I need to connect a parallel CSI camera to the MIMXRT1170-EVKB using the flexIO. Is there an app note or a project using a parallel camera specifically on the MIMXRT1170-EVKB board? are all the required IOs accessible on the Arduino connectors?
Thank you for your help,
Zohar

Please refer to this application note:
Using FlexIO to emulate Parallel Camera Interface on i.MX RT

Best regards,

Thank you Omar for your reply,

I did saw this application note, but my question was if I can run it on the MIMXRT1170-EVKB board. Do I have all the required IOs going to the Arduino connectors?

It depends how many pins you need, FlexIO2 only is available on the EVK arduino port on GPIO_AD_00 to GPIO_AD_13 as well as GPIO_AD28 to GPIO_AD31. Please refer to the EVKB schematics.

Best regards,
Omar

Thank you Omar,

It turned out I dont have the pins I need on the Arduino connectors. In order to get to those pins I will have to do heavy rework to the EVK.

I will use the MIPI interface instead (with a custom parallel to MIPI adapter)
