Using the phyCORE's camera interface, together with an I²C bus facilitates easy implementation of a CMOS camera
interface, e.g. a phyCAM-P or a phyCAM-S+ interface, on a custom carrier board (

(e.g. enabling/disabling of the interface, switching between phyCAM-P and phyCAM-S, etc.).
Please refer to L-748 or appropriate PHYTEC CB designs as reference.
17.2 Utilizing the Camera Interfaces on a Carrier Board
On PHYTEC carrier boards the interface is used directly as a parallel interface according to the phyCAM-P standard.
On the target application board, it is also possible to convert the signals with an LVDS deserializer as a serial
interface following the phyCAM
‑
S+ standard.
