Does i.MX6 MIPI-CSI I/F support multiple data types in a frame with virtual channel function ?

[kethy]

Hi

We have a customized camera which would send multiple data types within a frame on each virtual channel. We are studying for a product which can support this input. In i.MX6DP/QP's reference manual, it needs to set one data type to each CSI unit (such as CSI0_MIPI_DI3/CSI0_MIPI_DI2/CSI0_MIPI_DI1/CSI0_MIPI_DI0). Does this means CSI0 in IPU1, for example, can only receive one data type in a frame?

Thank you.

Hi Igor,

Sorry, I don't get how can I stored all the data with different types into the memory if only one data type can be received by a CSI module in the IPU at a time.

Could you please give me more instructions?

Thank you very much.

yes this is correct, in general frame with different types can be stored in memory then parsed in software.
