Accessing CSI / MIPI data without driver

Hi, I’m trying to interface with a camera sensor over CSI. The camera doesn’t have a Linux or Jetson driver, and I’m wondering if there’s a way to access the MIPI data from it without writing a driver for it? (I’ve never worked on drivers before, so if it’s at all possible I’d like to avoid it)

I’ve been able to communicate with the camera over the I2C-channel, so there’s “only” the MIPI data left.

The most similar previous topic I’ve found is Reading raw data from CSI port directly, but I don’t understand how the marked solution solves the problem at all.

Not possible do it without driver. Have a check below doc for driver implementation.
