Direct interface of camera module to general purpose i/o port of digital baseband processor

摘要

In a mobile wireless device, a camera module can be connected directly to a digital baseband processor that does not have a special interface, without the need for an external coprocessor. The data interface of the camera module is directly connected to pins of a general purpose input/output port on the digital baseband processor to enable the baseband processor to capture the synchronous parallel data stream from the camera module. A clock signal from the camera module can be used to trigger DMA transfers of the image data captured by the general purpose input/output port of the baseband processor.
