i.MX8 Mini & i.MX6: MIPI CSI 10bit ->8bit conversion

Hello,

Here is a question about image sensor data conversion.

i.MX6D is used for now and a 10bit image sensor is connected to processor via MIPI CSI. The application needs 8bit data only, but the sensor has no 8bit mode. So it is necessary to convert 10b to 8b. While there is no any auto conversion method found, the application has to do this conversion in software, pretty slow. Is there any faster way to achieve this?

Further, we may upgrade the processor to i.MX8 Mini later. Then the same question, is there any faster way to achieve this on i.MX8 Mini?

 

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob

 

I am afraid hardware of both processors do not support such conversion,

in general one can consider to configure CSI in 8bit mode.

 

Best regards
