AR0234 Compatibility Questions

As an overview, I am looking for a part with the following specs:

1. AR0234 (monochrome is preferred, but rgb is acceptable)

2. Raspberry Pi Connector

3. No ISP

This product seems to meet the specs, but I want to confirm that there is no ISP:

Now for some specifics. I plan to interface this with an FPGA, not a RPi, but I will use the RPi connector. As you can see below, the raspberry pi connector has 15 pins.

I need someone to confirm if the RPi connector's CAM_D[0:1]_{N,P} and CAM_CK_{N,P} pins are connected directly to the AR0234CS sensor module. If for example, these pins are connected to an ISP like the AP1302, that would be a big problem.

I need someone to confirm if the I2C signals need to configure anything else besides the AR0234 image sensor. If for example, these signals are connected to an MCU which loads proprietary camera configurations and there is no other way to configure the sensor, that would be a big problem. If for example, these signals are connected to a GPIO expander that configures power supplies, this is something I could deal with, but I might need some information to get this to work.

In summary, I want a camera module that will work like this:

1. Configure "Power Enable" pin

2. Configure AR0234 with I2C

From here, I should be able to capture MIPI data with the FPGA. If there are other steps, I'd need to know.

Thank you for looking into this.
