Hello.
I don't know if this is the correct forum to ask about this topic, sorry if I'm wrong.
I want to connect a camera and a Lattice FPGA. It will be through the MIPI interface. From the FPGA I want to do a couple of things. I would like to connect it to an ARM processor and also to a screen, and what I was asked for was connect it using SPI.
I guess we can use a MIPI screen and solve the problem, but, my question here is the following. MIPI uses a Parallel bus, and SPI is serial, is it posible to make a "MIPI to SPI"? Another thing I thought was using a shared RAM memory between FPGA and ARM. So I would save the video on the memory and the ARM would access that memory and make an image processing. I don't know if that would be possible or if it is too complicated. What do you think, guys?
As always, thanks in advance.
