MIPI-CSI input format support i.mxRT1170 and i.mxRT1166

Hi 

We are looking for an MCU that supports RGB565 16-bit MIPI-CSI.

Our application will require the MIPI-CSI hardware to store the RGB565 16-bit raw data to RAM and process the raw data through our software.

Can RT1170 or RT1166 or i.mx8 support our requirment?

I checked https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-RT-Crossover-MCUs/does-imxrt1170-MIPI-CSI2-peripheral-support-seri...    and  https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/I-MX8MP-MIPI-CSI-supported-Data-Types/m-p/1477391#M1917... 

It seems that RGB565 is not supported for all i.mx series MCU.

Is my understanding correct?

RT1170 MIPI-CSI2 cannot receive RAW8/10/12/14 data, +1

Hi Omar

I want to double confirm again,

RT1166/RT1170 can receive MIPI-CSI2 RGB565 16bits data and copy to RAM without format convert.

RT1166/RT1170 cannot receive RAW8/10/12/14 data because HW issue.

Is my understanding correct?

RT1160 has the same issue as RT1170, as it is an issue on video_mux. 
Regarding i.mx8, I suggest you open a new thread on i.mx forum, as I'm not familiar with that family; only imxRT.

Hi Omar

Thanks for reply.

I also found the information about RT1170 issue.

Does RT1166 have same issue?

If RT1166 doesn't have this issue, can RT1166 support MIPI-CSI RGB565 raw data to RAM?

Can i.mx8m-mini support MIPI-CSI RGB565 raw data to RAM?

RGB565 is supported on the MIPIC-CSI2 interface from RT1170. Please be aware that due to an issue in the Video Mux Controller (VIDEO_MUX), raw data and YUV422 (10 bit) formats to the MIPI_CSI2 block are not supported.

Best regards,
Omar
