Looking for a recommendation for the right Yocto dev board that supports MIPI CSI-2...

[Bob Cochran]

Hi,

I'm doing some work with MIPI cameras, and I need a development board 
with stable Yocto and MIPI CSI-2 support.   At this point, I'm thinking 
i.MX, but I'm open to any suggestion.

I'm not sure what type of access I'll have to the D-PHY data streams.  
Do they always terminate into a GPU?   However, I would like a board 
that gives me the most capability to control / route the data with open 
source drivers.

I suppose I want CSI-2 in and HDMI out.

Thank you,

Bob

It looks like we're going to purchase an NXP MCIMX8M-EVK dev board (at 
least one to get started).   Can someone please confirm that the  
imx8mqevk.conf machine file is for this board?

Is this board Yocto Project stable?  I need to be able to build the 
master branch for this board (or should I be using next?). Any comments 
or feedback will be great appreciated.

Thanks

Bob

seems it is in meta-freescale.
