i.mx8 Mini VPU

[santanu]

What sort of Video Inputs (not camera inputs) can be directly connected to the processor and on which pins?

Thanks Joanxie for your help. Problem resolved. 

[joanxie]

VPU is Video Processing Unit, which doesn't connect from peripheral directly, if you need to use encoder, can from camera as source or from video file

I have received the answer to my question but the answer has pushed me to look for an alternative processor 

[joanxie]

what is your demand?

[santanu]

I am looking for a processor with:

1. Multiple ARM cores

2. Graphics processor with support for OpenGL ES 2.0 or higher

3. Video processor with support for Video Inputs like DVI/HDMI and/or 24-bit digital RGB. Availability of H.264/H.265 will be a bonus but is not mandatory for my application.

4. Device drivers compliant with VxWorks 7.0

i.mx8mm doesn't support dvi or hdmi input directly, but imx8qm does

[santanu]

I just looked up the imx8qm datasheet but I find that the HDMI is only for output use. As mentioned in my earlier post I require HDMI/DVI input port.

[joanxie]

you can refer to the imx8qm schematic, imx8qm has hdmi RX port:

you also can refer to my document as below:

Thanks. Let me look up the datasheet
