Hi,
I read a lot of posts on the forums about virtuals channels support but some of them says different things. The main question of the topic is:
Q1. Does the IMX8M Mini support virtual channels (in order to split one incoming MIPI CSI-2 stream into different camera flows based on their VC-ID) ?
This is not clear because the RM of the 8M Mini mentions "virtual channels" (at section 13.4.15.16) without explaining clearly if it is supported or not... Moreover, the driver mxc-mipi-csi2_yav.c stores a "csi2dev->vchannel" boolean but seems to be unused.
Q2. If not supported, which IMX processors support it? I read the IMX7D RM and it seems that it support it but what about the others 8M series or the 6 series?
Q3. Last question but not the least, is there any way to implement "by hand" a virtual channel support by reading packet header of incoming data stream for example? Or maybe by doing similarly to this post: iMX6DQ-MAX9286-MIPI-CSI2-720P-camera-surround-view-solution ? Do you have any idea or the best solution is to go on another processor?
Thanks a lot for your answers!
