MIPI
- MIPI is an alliance for developing interfaces
- under which comes the camera serial interface i.e CSI
- CSI is the interface to communicate between camera and the mobile or rpi etc
CSI can be divided into 5 major parts :
- Image data – uses 4 lanes
- Camera control – uses 2 lanes for i2c communication
- Clock signal – uses one lane
- GPIO – used to control different peripherals
- Power supply – uses one lane
- Image data is where you get the image output
- I2C is where you give the command to the sensor for control.
