2.3.4. Receiver AXI4-Stream Output Passthrough Interface

The MIPI CSI-2 IP uses this interface when in passthrough mode. It carries the MIPI CSI-2 packets recovered from the external MIPI input, as defined by the MIPI CSI-2 specification low-level protocol. This interface allows retransmission or custom processing of the received MIPI CSI-2 packets. For example in bridging applications where the IP combines multiple incoming CSI-2 streams into a single outgoing CSI-2 stream.

The IP combines MIPI CSI-2 packets from multiple lanes, if configured, but performs no further processing. The packets have packet header followed by payload and checksum for long packets.

The IP includes a single AXI4-Stream output interface, containing data from all virtual channels. According to your system requirements you can process this data as a combined stream or decode it further based on the virtual channel ID in the packet headers.
