2.5. Simulation

The MIPI CSI-2 IP design example simulation demonstrates the correct way to drive data onto the AXI4-Stream of the CSI-2 TX and demonstrates correctly receiving data from the AXI4-Stream of the CSI-2 RX.

The simulation is designed to run either in video mode which has the AXI4-Stream complying with the Intel Video Streaming Protocol, or in passthrough mode that uses the MIPI CSI-2 protocol to define how the data is presented on the AXI4-Stream.

The simulation generates the correct signals and data on the AXI4-Stream input of the CSI-2 TX. This then passes through the CSI-2 TX and out of the PPI of the CSI-2 TX. The PPI is then looped back into the PPI of the CSI-2 RX. The data passes through the CSI-2 RX and then out of the AXI4-Stream. The design then checks the signals and data on the AXI4-Stream of the CSI-2 RX to make sure they match what is expected.
