I'm curious if it's possible to receive 10 bit data as the upper 8 bits and stream the 8 bit data to the host.

   

Something like:

   

CyU3PMipicsiCfg_t parms = {

   

    CY_U3P_CSI_DF_RAW10,  /* CyU3PMipicsiDataFormat_t dataFormat */
    2,     ..

   

  .. snip

   

// later

   

CyU3PMipicsiGpifLoad ( CY_U3P_MIPICSI_BUS_8 , CX3_IMAGE_BUFFER_SIZE )            

   

The way I understand it is that this isn't possible, you'd receive the lower 8 bits.  I'm not sure if there is a way though, wanted to check.

I dont't know if is it possible or not, I think that is not possible, the DMA takes a data of the image sensor and send it to the host.

   

but I think that is easier to configure the image sensor to 8bit mode.

Unfortunately this particular image sensor thus far seems to only send 10 bit data.
