Overview:
The MIPI CSI-2 (Camera Serial Interface) defines an interface between a peripheral device (camera) and host processor (application engine) for mobile applications. It offers the mobile industry a standard, robust, scalable, low-power, high-speed, and cost-effective interface that supports a wide range of imaging solutions for mobile devices.
