Jetson Xavier NX MIPI CSI Support Format?

Hi,
We have some questions on Xavier NX MIPI CSI that we couldn’t determine.
From <NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX Series System-on-Module DataSheet> Chapter2.5(Video Input Interfaces), we have learned that the NX MIPI CSI supports the following input data formats:

  1. RGB: RGB888, RGB666, RGB565, RGB555, RGB444
  2. YUV: YUV422-8b, YUV420-8b(legacy), YUV420-8b
  3. RAW: RAW6, RAW7, RAW8, RAW10, RAW12, RAW14, RAW16, RAW20
  4. Data type interlace support

Do all of the above input formats listed on the Datasheet for the NX MIPI CSI support?
In practice, we found that YUV420 and interlaced input (e.g. 1080I) are not supported (these are also corroborated accordingly from the forums).
Why is the conclusion obtained from the forum inconsistent with the one obtained from Datasheet?
Which one should we prevail?
Can we get a positive, 100% error-free conclusion on exactly which input formats are supported by NX’s MIPI CSI?

Thank you very much!

hello newbie.lei,

it’s hardware capability.

may I know what’s your actual use-case, and what’s the sources you’re going to develop?
besides, you may refer to Jetson Partner Supported Cameras, please contact with Jetson Camera Partners for further supports.

We want the FPGA to transmit image data to the NX via CSI.
So we want to know what kind of image data input is supported by CSI of NX.
So we are like a Camera vendor role.
Can you tell which input formats are explicitly supported by NX’s CSI?

hello newbie.lei,

you may streaming with Raw10, Raw12 or YUV422/8-bit.
those were frequently used color formats, and supported by Xavier NX’s driver.
