Raspberry Pi Zero
The Raspberry Pi Zero provides n inexpensive bridge between MIPI CSI image sensors, and open source FPGAs.
Raspberry Pi Zero has USB HighSpeed host, a MIPI-CSI hard core, 32 bit wide Programmable Input and Output (PIO) with Direct Memory Access (DMA) and H.264 compression and decompression. The $10 Raspberry Pi Zero (one core) or the $15 Raspberry Pi Zero 2W (four cores, Bluetooth and WiFi) can bridge MIPI to an FPGA. The camera video can be displayed on the screen [10] and the screen can actually be a 24 bit + controls Display Parallel Interface [11] driving an FPGA. This page explains how to do the wiring [9]. At 60Mhz, the display would be 1 MegaPixel. Maybe as much as a 2 MegaPixel display is possible.
