Description
The capabilities of CSI-2 are enhanced by MIPI CSI-3, a new generation of camera serial interface. In comparison to CSI-2, CSI-3 uses fewer pins while offering more bandwidth thanks to the use of a multipurpose connection based on a single protocol stack (UniPort-M). The camera serial Interface 3 version 1.2 MIPI Alliance specification is completely supported by the MIPI CSI-3 Verification IP, which offers the functionality listed below. SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E, and nonstandard verification environments all natively support the MIPI CSI-3 Verification IP. The optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger, a GUI-based debugger that speeds up debugging, is included with the MIPI CSI-3 Verification IP as well.
