MIPI to USB bridge

adc1 · ‎03-21-2016

Hi,

is it possible to implement a software MIPI to USB bridge to let a ov5640 camera sensor be controlled over USB?

does it exist any kernel module example on how exchange MIPI data trough UVC driver?

or is it possible only using a hardware bridge like Cypress CX3?

thank you for the attention

best regards

Andrea

Thank you Gary and Igor,

I suppose it would be a little slow, I would just figure out if it's possible and how to do it

I'll take a look to uvc-gadget, today project site seems to be up

regards

Hi Andrea

I believe it is possible to implement a software MIPI to USB bridge as CX3,

but seems performance wiil be low due to software latencies.

Best regards
