I'm quite new to the MIPI standards and have started working with camera sensors using the i.MX6 CSI-2 interface. Is it possible to connect two OV5640 sensors to the chip's CSI-2 interface? I understand the need for unique I2C addresses for control. I would like to capture simultaneous as well as individual stills/video from the two sensors. I appreciate your insights and advice.
Hi R
you can connect up to 4 cameras to the MIPI CSI-2 interface.
For this you have to either use a MIPI CSI-2 hub (if anything
like this already exists) or multiplex the four streams in an FPGA.
Each camera in this case should use a different stream
identifier (stream 0-3). See attached file.
Best regards
chip
