4.4 MEMORY STORING METHOD
The storing method to the frame memory is the little-endian method in codec path. The first entering pixels stored
into LSB sides, and the last entering pixels stored into MSB sides. The carried data by AHB bus is 32-bit word.
So, CAMIF make the each Y-Cb-Cr words by little endian style. For RGB format, two different formats exist. One
pixel (Color 1 pixel) is one word for RGB 24-bit format. Otherwise, two pixels are one word for RGB 16-bit format.
Refer to next diagram.
