Material Preparation

Confirming Main Chip Specifications

Check whether the following specifications are supported:

  • Master and slave modes
  • Linear and WDR modes
  • Upper limit of input frequency
  • Minimum and maximum resolutions
  • Number of supported lanes
  • Raw image bit depth
  • Raw image types

Sensor Data Sheet

Confirm the following items with the sensor vendor:

  • Sensor register configuration mode (I2C or SPI) and sensor functionalities
  • Interface mode and output frequency for image transmission
  • Exposure time and gain setting method, and frame rate modification method
  • Preceding two items in WDR mode
  • Synchronization code for the LVDS interface

Initialization Settings

Obtain the sensor initialization settings from the sensor vendor. Generally, at least the maximum specification and standard resolution are required.
