7.4.25.2 Synchronized CSI-2 Forwarding

In cases with multiple input sources, synchronized forwarding offers synchronization of all incoming data stored within the buffer. If packets arrive within a certain window, the forwarding control may be programmed to attempt to synchronize the video buffer data. In this mode, it attempts to send each channel synchronization packets in order (VC0, VC1, VC2, VC3) as well as sending packet data in the same order. In the following sections, Sensor 0 (S0), Sensor 1 (S1), Sensor 2 (S2), and Sensor 3 (S3) refers to the sensors connected at V3LINK RX port 0, RX port 1, RX port 2, and RX port 3, respectively. The following describe only the 4-port operation, but other possible port combinations can be applied.

The forwarding engine for each CSI-2 Transmitter can be configured independently and synchronize up to all four video sources.

Requirements:

  • Video arriving at input ports must be synchronized within approximately 1 video line period
  • All enabled ports must have valid, synchronized video
  • Each port must have identical video parameters, including number and size of video lines, presence of synchronization packets, and so forth.

The forwarding engine attempts to send the video synchronized. If synchronization fails, the CSI-2 transmitter stops forwarding packets and attempt to restart sending synchronized video at the next FrameStart indication. Packets are discarded as long as the forwarding engine is unable to send the synchronized video.

Status is provided to indicate when the forwarding engine is synchronized. In addition, a flag is used to indicate that synchronization has been lost (status is cleared on a read).

Three options are available for Synchronized forwarding:

  • Basic Synchronized forwarding
  • Line-Interleave forwarding
  • Line-Concatenated forwarding

Synchronized forwarding modes are selected by setting the CSIx_SYNC_FWD controls in the FWD_CTL2 register. To enable synchronized forwarding the following order of operations is recommended:

  1. Disable Best-effort forwarding by clearing the CSIx_RR_FWD bits in the FWD_CTL2 register
  2. Enable forwarding per Receive port by clearing the FWD_PORTx_DIS bits in the FWD_CTL1 register
  3. Enable Synchronized forwarding in the FWD_CTL2 register
