Hello Jan,

This is regarding requests for CSI support in the IMX processor.
We were using Yocto + NXP provided kernel to use the CSI peripheral of the IMX6 processor. We have complete support from NXP for their kernel along with the Yocto framework.
We want to move to CIP 4.19 + ISAR framework.
When we checked CIP kernel 4.19 - there was no support for CSI interface as well as there were some differences in the arch support too.
After study of the NXP provided framework, we found that they use the kernel from https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx and commit ID 0f9917c56d5995e1dc3bde5658e2d7bc865464de.
Even linux kernel 5.9 doesn't have the imx specific support.
Can you guide us on how we should proceed with the same - will it be possible for CIP to add IMX support (or) should we request NXP to add the patch for CIP kernel 4.19

Regards,
Lakshmi

Hello Jan,
We have used Yocto Framework provided by NXP from the following link.Refer to the Document 

L4.19.35_1.1.0_LINUX_DOCS  in the above mentioned link.

The DT-bindings and the IMX Camera capture information will be available by following the steps mentioned in the document i.MX_Yocto_Project_User's_Guide from the above link.
The Kernel which we are using is fetched from the bitbake files attached below( linux-yocto_4.19.bb and its append).Could you please let us know whether CSI  Camera capture supported in this kernel be included in the Linux CIP?

Thanks and Regards,
Rajashree Sankar
