2.1. Synthesizing the Design Example

Follow these steps to create a MIPI DSI-2 TX design for synthesis:
  1. Create a new project in Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software and specify a device for your design (Refer to Device Family Support for the supported devices).
  2. In the IP Catalog, select Library > Interface Protocols > Audio & Video > MIPI DSI-2 IP.

  3. Set up the parameters for the MIPI DSI-2 IP as required for your design:
    1. Configure the parameters on the Video Timing tab according to your design. Refer Video Timing Tab for more information.
    2. In the Design Example tab, select the MIPI DSI-2 TX Synthesis.

  4. Click the Generate Design Example to generate the design.
  5. Open the generated example design project in Quartus® Prime Pro Edition.
  6. Configure the I/O as appropriate for your development board. You may need to open the Platform Designer system and ensure that the MIPI D-PHY IP configuration matches your hardware – particularly the byte location for the enabled MIPI link.
  7. Add a video source and connect to the AXI4-Stream video input to the MIPI DSI-2 IP.
  8. Compile the project and test.
    Note: No host processor is required to initialize or control the MIPI interface. Without a controller, the interface operates from power-up in the pre-configured mode.

    The reset on the MIPI DSI-2 IP should always be asserted for at least 256 cycles of the clk clock input to the MIPI DSI-2 before starting operation.
