Digital camera interface (DCMI)
1. The capture edge of DCMI_PIXCLK is the falling edge, the active state of DCMI_HSYNC and
DCMI_VSYNC is 1.
2. DCMI_HSYNC and DCMI_VSYNC can change states at the same time.
8-bit data
When EDM[1:0] in DCMI_CR are programmed to "00" the interface captures 8 LSBs at its
input (DCMI_D[0:7]) and stores them as 8-bit data. The DCMI_D[13:8] inputs are ignored. In
this case, to capture a 32-bit word, the camera interface takes four pixel clock cycles.
The first captured data byte is placed in the LSB position in the 32-bit word and the 4
captured data byte is placed in the MSB position in the 32-bit word.
example of the positioning of captured data bytes in two 32-bit words.

10-bit data
When EDM[1:0] in DCMI_CR are programmed to "01", the camera interface captures 10-bit
data at its input DCMI_D[0..9] and stores them as the 10 least significant bits of a 16-bit
word. The remaining most significant bits in the DCMI_DR register (bits 11 to 15) are
cleared to zero. So, in this case, a 32-bit data word is made up every two pixel clock cycles.
The first captured data are placed in the LSB position in the 32-bit word and the 2
captured data are placed in the MSB position in the 32-bit word as shown in
