MIPI camera interface

I have a requirement to interface to a particular cmos camera chip (OV2685).  This device has a MIPI or CSI interface for the image data and I2C for the control registers.  I have found all manner of various MIPI camera interfaces for other camera chips but no generic interface that could be used for my specific camera chip.  I was wondering if this is something that could be done in a FPGA and if anyone has heard of or tried to do this...

Hi viScience,

 

I was wondering what exactly you mean by "this" in

Here is a community example using MIPI RF on an FPGA module. https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-26430

And here is a relate white Paper: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14355/en/

 

Here is a white paper on I2C in FPGA: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3479/en/

By 'this' I meant an FPGA inteface to a MIPI camera device.  In my case it would be a camera chip.  MIPI has a pretty wide scope it seems but for me I would like to see an example of the CSI (Camera Serial Interface).

If you can talk to your device using serial you can treat it as any other serial device. I'm not entirely certain this will work but you can use the VISA functions. http://www.ni.com/tutorial/3702/en/

 

Here is a KB about using the console with serial on a smart camera: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2632DD4856ED97148625797B005ADEA7 it could be insightful.
