The imx8mm appears to have both a CSI bridge and mipi-csi-2 drivers. With those enabled, both the imx8mm-evk and imx8mm-beacon boards should be able use an OV5640 camera. The mipi-csi2 driver sets the clock frequency to 333MHz, so the clock parent of the CSI1 must be reparented to a faster clock. On the custom NXP kernel, they use IMX8MM_SYS_PLL2_1000M, so that is done in the device tree to match. With the CSI and mipi_csi2 drivers pointing to an OV5640 camera, the media pipeline can be configured with the following: media-ctl --links "'ov5640 1-003c':0->'imx7-mipi-csis.0':0[1]" The camera and various nodes in the pipeline can be configured for UYVY: media-ctl -v -V "'ov5640 1-003c':0 [fmt:UYVY8_1X16/640x480 field:none]" media-ctl -v -V "'csi':0 [fmt:UYVY8_1X16/640x480 field:none]" With that, the media pipeline looks like: Media controller API version 5.15.0 Media device information ------------------------ driver imx7-csi model imx-media serial bus info platform:32e20000.csi hw revision 0x0 driver version 5.15.0 Device topology - entity 1: csi (2 pads, 2 links) type V4L2 subdev subtype Unknown flags 0 device node name /dev/v4l-subdev0 pad0: Sink [fmt:UYVY8_1X16/640x480 field:none colorspace:srgb xfer:srgb ycbcr:601 quantization:lim-range] <- "imx7-mipi-csis.0":1 [ENABLED,IMMUTABLE] pad1: Source [fmt:UYVY8_1X16/640x480 field:none colorspace:srgb xfer:srgb ycbcr:601 quantization:lim-range] -> "csi capture":0 [ENABLED,IMMUTABLE] - entity 4: csi capture (1 pad, 1 link) type Node subtype V4L flags 0 device node name /dev/video0 pad0: Sink <- "csi":1 [ENABLED,IMMUTABLE] - entity 10: imx7-mipi-csis.0 (2 pads, 2 links) type V4L2 subdev subtype Unknown flags 0 device node name /dev/v4l-subdev1 pad0: Sink [fmt:UYVY8_1X16/640x480 field:none colorspace:smpte170m xfer:709 ycbcr:601 quantization:lim-range] <- "ov5640 1-003c":0 [ENABLED] pad1: Source [fmt:UYVY8_1X16/640x480 field:none colorspace:smpte170m xfer:709 ycbcr:601 quantization:lim-range] -> "csi":0 [ENABLED,IMMUTABLE] - entity 15: ov5640 1-003c (1 pad, 1 link) type V4L2 subdev subtype Sensor flags 0 device node name /dev/v4l-subdev2 pad0: Source [fmt:UYVY8_1X16/640x480@1/30 field:none colorspace:srgb xfer:srgb ycbcr:601 quantization:full-range] -> "imx7-mipi-csis.0":0 [ENABLED] When configured, gstreamer can be used to capture 1 frame and store it to a file. gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src num-buffers=1 ! video/x-raw,format=UYVY,width=640,height=480,framerate=60/1 ! filesink location=test Unfortunately, the video capture never appears to happen.

I posted a device tree that I beleive goes with the newer imx8mm-evk, but I do not have this hardware, so I cannot test it.
