IMXRT1060 Converting Monochrome to RGB565 using PXP

We are working with 2 cameras, HM01B0 and the HM0360, which only support Bayer or Monochrome formats.  So we have been using a monochrome pallet to convert to RGB565 format.  We have been trying to use PXP to do the conversion with varying degrees of success.

For instance, since the data is 8-bit monochrome we started with using Y8 for the input buffer and RGB565 as the output buffer.  While the image looks right its all RED:

If we use one of YUV 422 1p fomats as input:

michaelsmorto_1-1715896131612.jpeg

We get 2 half images.  The camera is set to use QVGA format.

Any suggestions would be helpful - or are we wasting our time.

PS> Using a Teensy 4.1 with PXP ported to work in an Arduino IDE.  Teensy 4.1 is a IMXRT1062 based MCU.  The sketch we use is as follows (the commands should be familar):

Ok think I got it solved. 

Was looking at this post: https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/PXP-YUV-to-RGB-conversion/td-p/605613.  And playing a bit used the following settings:

HW_PXP_CSC1_COEF0 : 0x84ab01f0
HW_PXP_CSC1_COEF1 : 0
HW_PXP_CSC1_COEF2 : 0

and was able to get my grayscale image:

 

michaelsmorto_1-1715950393680.jpeg

This is a qvga image that has been rotated and scaled to just about fit the ILI9488 screen (480x320)

Not sure if there is a better way.
