Hi,
I am now using IMX6 Quad.
I know it support 2 parallel ports and 1 MIPI port.
IMX6 Quad has 2 IPUs.
Could you please tell me can it use these 3 ports simultaneously?
If it can, is it right that MIPI and 1 parallel use 1 IPU and the other parallel use another IPU?
Thank you very much!
Best Regards,
Ivy
Solved! Go to Solution.
The i.MX6Quad processor has three camera ports, physically routed out of the chip: two parallel ones (IPU1_CSI0 and IPU2_CSI1) and one MIPI CSI. The MIPI CSI port input can be routed to any of the two IPUs with so-called MIPI_CSI-to-IPU gasket module. And, yes, you can use all these three ports simultaneously.
Have a great day,
Artur

Hi Igor and Artur,
Thank you very much for the prompt reply!!

Hi Ivy
you are right: two IPUs and each has two CSI :
In general you can connect 4 cameras to the MIPI CSI-2 interface.
For this you have to multiplex the four streams in an FPGA.
Each camera in this case should use a different stream
identifier (stream 0-3), 4 data streams can the be distributed across
the 4 CSI.
Best regards
igor
