2.5. Simulation

The example design simulation demonstrates the correct way to drive data onto the AXI-Stream bus of the CSI-2 TX and to demonstrate correct data reception of the AXI-Stream bus of the CSI-2 RX.

The simulation is designed to run either in video mode which has the AXI-Stream bus complying with the Intel Video Streaming Protocol, or in passthrough mode which uses the MIPI CSI-2 protocol to define how the data is presented on the AXI-Stream Bus.

The simulation generates the correct signals and Data on the AXI-Stream Bus input of the CSI-2 TX core. This then passes through the CSI-2 TX and out of the PPI interface of the CSI-2 TX. The PPI interface is then looped back into the PPI interface of the CSI-2 RX core. The data passes through the CSI-2 RX core and then out of the AXI-Stream interface. The signals and Data on the AXI-Stream Bus of the CSI-2 RX core are then checked to make sure they match what is expected.
