| 12:37 | rabeeh | all: anyone familiar with the mipi interfaces? |
| 12:38 | rabeeh | namely i'm looking for a generic interface to use for camera interface (like MIPI) but can't find any standard phyiscal interface |
| 12:49 | frilled | rabeeh, http://www.mipi.org/specifications/camera-interface seems to have links to physical specs, too, but I kinda doubt you didn't look there first ;P |
| 12:49 | frilled | pretty basic, too, I have to admit ^_° |
| 12:50 | frilled | probably members only |
| 12:51 | rabeeh | frilled: i'v harvested the net about generic camera module but there is none standard physical interface |
| 12:51 | rabeeh | the specs are pretty clear; just hook i2c and the differential mipi lines and your good to go; but there is none about a standard connector |
| 12:51 | rabeeh | oh; the same applies to LVDS display out (or mipi dsi) |
| 12:52 | rabeeh | well.. for lvds display out there is a 30 pin connector or 40 pin connector that you can buy a laptop display and hook your PFC cable to it |
| 12:52 | rabeeh | but again, no standard saying pins x and y has the differential lines etc... |
| 12:53 | frilled | what about the raspi cam, then? |
| 12:57 | rabeeh | custom made from RS |
| 12:57 | rabeeh | again, they use the standard interface - MIPI CSI with i2c to control the camera; but no standard phyisal interface |
| 12:57 | rabeeh | pretty frustrating... |
| 13:02 | frilled | i see :( |
| 13:10 | frilled | I still don't get it. raspi uses CSI-2 on D-PHY (which is now succeded by M-PHY), so that sounds pretty standard to me. Specs are for members only, though ... |
| 13:11 | frilled | you're probably talking about the raw cam moudle, then |
| 13:15 | rabeeh | yes. |
| 13:18 | rabeeh | frilled: i'm searching about the D-PHY and M-PHY; but nothing again |
| 13:18 | rabeeh | it's all about phy level encoding and speeds |
| 13:19 | rabeeh | i'm looking more into the mechanical connectors |
| 13:19 | rabeeh | maybe i can rephrase the question - what is the mechanical connector to be used when connecting to a CSI capable camera module? |
| 13:24 | frilled | d-phy / m-phy are for members only (http://www.mipi.org/specifications/physical-layer -> "Complete specifications are available to MIPI members only. For more information on joining MIPI, please go to Join MIPI.") |
| 13:24 | frilled | MAybe you can ask someone who has them? ;) |
| 13:25 | rabeeh | i looked at them now; they are all about phyiscal signalling without saying anything about mechanical connectors. |
| 13:25 | frilled | pfff ... |
| 13:32 | frilled | yay, I give up. I don't find it either. |
| 13:35 | rabeeh | :) |
| 13:35 | rabeeh | i think i'm going to reverse engineer |
| 13:35 | rabeeh | look what manufacuter gives and try to find common connectors; i'll start with this one - |
