[i.MX8M Plus] How to convert Y8 camera data to RGB

[A_Hiroki]

Hi Community!

I have a question about camera data for i.MX8M Plus.

I would like to convert the monochrome Y8 camera data received from the camera to color (RGB) using hardware.
How can I achieve this?

Best Regards,
Hiroki

Thank you for your reply.

Y8 means RAW8. I think i.MX8MP supports this format.

my understanding is RAW8 is raw8 bayer pixel format, like BG/GR, and Y8 is Monochrome 8 bits pixel format, anyway, if you need raw8 capture and rgb output, for imx8mp, we have one solution is that send the data from camera to the ISP which can support raw data, then send the data from ISP to the ISI to output rgb data

For the following, could you please tell me the number of pages in the data sheet?

this is not mentioned in the data sheet, I send the mail to you for reference, pls check, let me remind, this is just a suggestion according to your request, not supported by the current bsp

refer to the imx8mp reference manual, imx8mp mipi csi doesn't support this format as input
