Hi,
I am trying to capture a BT1120 video using parallel CSI on i.MX6 DL/Q running Kernel 3.10. The video is generated by an FPGA which its outputs are connected to the CSI input of i.MX6 based on pin configuration presented here: Support BT1120 progressive mode in Mx6Q .
During boot, the MXC V4L2 capture driver reports this error:
ERROR: v4l2 capture: slave not found!
And trying to capture a frame with the mfw_v4lsrc plugin fails:

Is there any way to configure the V4L2 capture on i.MX6 without any need of a "slave" or sensor device? The FPGA that is connected to CSI port is going to send the video data constantly in a fixed format and resolution and it doesn't need any driver.
Besides this, is there any documentation on capture-mode and input parameter of mfw_v4lsrc plugin?
The capture-mode apparently specifies the driver and/or image format for the capturing. The help for the input parameter just says "set input of camera, please check the bsp release". I wonder if there is any configuration of these parameters to make capturing without the driver possible.
