Hi,

   

I'm working on a project where I need to get video stream through USB using a CSI-2 compatible camera. I intend to interface CYUSB306X: EZ-USB® CX3: MIPI CSI-2 to SuperSpeed USB Bridge Controller with Raspberry Pi Camera (http://in.element14.com/raspberry-pi/rpi-8mp-camera-board/raspberry-pi-camera-board-v2/dp/2510728)

   

Since I just need the Camera and CX3 on my circuit board, I was hoping if  anyone could provide me with the schematic for this interface. I could only find the kit schematics on the website, I need the minimal components.

   

Also, would I need a dedicated programmer to program CX3?

Hi Sonu,

   

You can check with out design partner e-consystems for reference designs or Cx3.

For a minimal design you would need only the  CLOCK, PMODE, RESET, MIPI_CSI, USB Intreface pasrts in the schematics.

Hi Madhu,

   

I have a few more questions:

   

1) Is I2C Buffer required for MIPI interface or I2C Flash interface? Is it possible to exclude it?

   

2) I want to flash firmware using USB. So, Can I eliminate SPI Flash and I2C EEPROM?
