MIPI DisCoSM for ImagingSM v1.0, expected to be released in late 2022, standardizes how MIPI CSI-2® connected cameras, lens VCMs and LED flash devices and their connections are declared in ACPI system firmware. DisCo for Imaging builds on ACPI _DSD property and data extensions, as well as ACPI 6.4 _CRS generic serial bus connection descriptor.
To do this, DisCo for Imaging relies on the MIPI Discovery and Configuration Base Specification (DisCo), a uniform ACPI-based software architecture for enumerating controllers, buses, and devices that support the MIPI Alliance interface specifications.
The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is widely used in the PC industry to enumerate devices and functions, describe their capabilities, and manage their power states. It is supported by prominent operating systems, including Linux, Microsoft’s Windows, Apple operating systems and others.
