MEMORY STORING METHOD
The little-endian method in codec path is used to store in the frame memory. The pixels are stored from LSB to
MSB side. AHB bus carries 32-bit word data. So, CAMIF makes each of the Y-Cb-Cr words in little-endian style.
For preview path, 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. Please refer the following figure.
