It has one sink pad to receive the pixel +data from MIPI CSI-2 camera sensor. It has one source pad, corresponding to the +virtual channel 0. This module is compliant to previous version of Samsung +D-phy, and supports two D-PHY Rx Data lanes. + +csi_mux +------- + +This is the video multiplexer. It has two sink pads to select from either camera +sensor with a parallel interface or from MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel 0. It has +a single source pad that routes to the CSI. + +csi +--- + +The CSI enables the chip to connect directly to external CMOS image sensor. CSI +can interface directly with Parallel and MIPI CSI-2 buses. It has 256 x 64 FIFO +to store received image pixel data and embedded DMA controllers to transfer data +from the FIFO through AHB bus. + +This entity has one sink pad that receives from the csi_mux entity and a single +source pad that routes video frames directly to memory buffers. This pad is +routed to a capture device node. + +Usage Notes +----------- + +To aid in configuration and for backward compatibility with V4L2 applications +that access controls only from video device nodes, the capture device interfaces +inherit controls from the active entities in the current pipeline, so controls +can be accessed either directly from the subdev or from the active capture +device interface. For example, the sensor controls are available either from the +sensor subdevs or from the active capture device. + +Warp7 with OV2680 +----------------- + +On this platform an OV2680 MIPI CSI-2 module is connected to the internal MIPI +CSI-2 receiver. The following example configures a video capture pipeline with +an output of 800x600, and BGGR 10 bit bayer format: + +.. code-block:: none + # Setup links + media-ctl -l "'ov2680 1-0036':0 -> 'imx7-mipi-csis.0':0[1]" + media-ctl -l "'imx7-mipi-csis.0':1 -> 'csi_mux':1[1]" + media-ctl -l "'csi_mux':2 -> 'csi':0[1]" + media-ctl -l "'csi':1 -> 'csi capture':0[1]" + + # Configure pads for pipeline + media-ctl -V "'ov2680 1-0036':0 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]" + media-ctl -V "'csi_mux':1 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]" + media-ctl -V "'csi_mux':2 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]" + media-ctl -V "'imx7-mipi-csis.0':0 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]" + media-ctl -V "'csi':0 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]" + +After this streaming can start.
