Inquiry Regarding Simultaneous Use of Parallel CSI, MIPI CSI, and USB3 OTG on i.MX 8X Family

[seobi]

I am currently planning to use a parallel camera and a MIPI CSI camera simultaneously, and I need to transmit the data from both cameras through USB 3.0.

Based on the i.MX 8X Family Block Diagram, I understand that the device provides one Parallel CSI, one MIPI CSI, and one USB3 OTG with PHY.
Could you please confirm whether these three interfaces can be used concurrently from a hardware perspective?

Additionally, I would appreciate your recommendation on which product family within the i.MX series would be the most suitable for this type of camera-streaming and USB transmission application.

Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate your support and look forward to your response.

Best regards,
seobi

for your case, I suggest that you can refer to the imx8mp, which has dual mipi csi camera, and imx8mp is cheaper than imx8x

We have confirmed that the i.MX 8M Plus provides two MIPI-CSI interfaces, but we were not able to find any information regarding a parallel CSI interface.
Could you please clarify whether a parallel camera port is also supported?

must you use parallel csi? if yes, imx8mp doesn't have this, for imx8 series, only imx8qxp has parallel csi interface, and can meet your request
