Abstract
A MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY receiving device is configured to handle being hot plugged to MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY transmitting device. During a hot plugging event, the MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY receiving device has not been initialized by receipt from the MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY transmitting device of a Stop State signal of duration TINIT. Though the MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY transmitting device is already transmitting data associated with a partial frame, the MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY receiving device will not enter into an error or unknown state, and will ignore line start/end and frame end events and drop the data packets associated with the partial frame until a frame start event corresponding to a full frame is received from the MIPI CSI-2/D-PHY transmitting device.
