Camera Serial Interface
The Camera Serial Interface (CSI) is a specification of the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance. It defines an interface between a camera and a host processor. The latest active interface specification is CSI-3 which was released in 2012.[1]

CSI-1
CSI-1 was the original standard MIPI interface for cameras. It emerged as an architecture to define the interface between a camera and a host processor. Its successors were MIPI CSI-2 and MIPI CSI-3, two standards that are still evolving.
CSI-2
The MIPI CSI-2 v1.0 specification was released in 2005. It uses either D-PHY or C-PHY (Both standards are set by the MIPI Alliance) as a physical layer option. The protocol is divided into the following layers...
- Physical Layer (C-PHY/D-PHY)
- Lane Merger Layer.
- Low Level Protocol Layer.
- Pixel to Byte Conversion Layer
- Application Layer
CSI-3
The CSI-3 is a next generation interface specification based on the UniPort-M. It was released in 2012.
