RT1176 with camera interface

[selvamras]

• Hi
•    I need to interface two independent camera with RT1176 PROCESSOR through MiPi-CSI  interface. But this processor has only one MiPi-csi interfece. Please tell me how do we connect. Can i use a MiPi mux to connect two camera with single MiPi-CSI interface of RT1176?

Hi @selvamras 

 Please check this picture at first, you will be more clear:

You can find parallels CSI and the Mipi-CSI will connect to the CSI at last, you can connect two CSI modues, one to parallels CSI, one to MIPI-CSI. But these two CSI can't work at the same time. So, normally, we can use one as the MIPI-CSI, another one, we can use the flexIO to simulate the CSI, this method, you can use two cameras at the same time, about the flexIO csi, we have an application note:
