Mipi CSI receiver IC...

Hi!

I may need to interface an existing mcu system (based on K70) with an optical sensor having a mipi interface.

I still don't know what exactly will this camera be. i don't know if it'll be CSI-1 or CSI-2.

Now, i was astonished at how difficult it is to find MIPI to parallel bridges..

I found that IC from ST ( **broken link removed** ) seems to do exactly what i need, but there is no way to find it anywhere (Digikey, farnell, RS, Mouser..) Can't even find it on Alibaba !!

So, am i searching with the wrong keywords.. or don't i have any other solution that tossing in an FPGA and implementing a converter myself..... (i hate reinventing the wheel)

Looks like it requires a quote and a NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) and a purchase of 2940 as a minimum.

That's the conclusion i've came to...

I hoped there was a more flexible solution...
