MIPI standard - For those who want to know about MIPI DSI/CSI!

The MIPI standard is a communication standard often used in recent years for display interfaces and image sensor output interfaces.

I know the name of the standard, but what is the communication band? What protocol are you using? Such

Among MIPI, this article focuses on DSI/CSI for newcomers to study from scratch.

  

We are creating articles about the MIPI standard with the motto of making it easier to understand and more fun than other articles.

Using the video frame diagram explained in the second article, let's review how the MIPI packets are transferred in the video frame.

 

A video frame diagram can be divided into a gray part and a blue part.

The gray area is composed of blanking and is the area where the image is not displayed.

On the other hand, the blue part consists of Packet Header/Footer and Data, and the data part where the image is actually displayed is...
