Hi all experts:
Is OMAP4460 come with Camera Parallel Interface hardware that is kind of similar to OMAP3750's Camera Parallel Interface?
I am thinking of using this camera module onto OMAP4460. I saw blogs talking about using different camera module but similar CMOS sensor interface onto BeagleBoard xM. Here is the link:

They have successfully make the driver working on OMAP3750 but I haven seen anyone manage to migrate the driver to OMAP4460. So, if anyone know someone has done this please post the link here. I would like to share the info to everyone in this forum...
Also, can anyone tell me some guildlines on how to configure OMAP4460 to listen to parallel port for camera interface.
I will be using SoM development board. http://www.variscite.com/products/item/76-var-som-om44-ti-omap4460
Not sure how many people come across this development kit?

OK. I think I understood now.
gstreamer need OS to run and to use it with the camera, I need those instructions given by the release note right? Please correct me if I am wrong.
If I am running Android ICS, (my understanding is) after porting the camera driver into the Kernel level I suppose I should be able to use the camera application that came with Android OS to drive the camera directly right? Without needed to touch on the HAL layer right?
You will need to make minor modifications to HAL. Point default camera index to V4L2 camera so that HAL does not access OMX camera. Similarly, for gst you need to open v4l2-cam instead of omx-cam.

Right. It is sound like I need to have more reading to get a better understanding.
Would you mind to point me to some useful link that it will help me in understanding how to make camera working in Android ICS or any Linux based OS?
command line test and yavta maybe useful for standalone driver testing. There are always more than one ways to do something and Testing Notes on project webpage lists all the approaches successfully employed. It is up to the developer's to use any of them.
I think you are looking for a general tutorial (non OMAP specific). There is a lot of content available online, but I don't know which ones to recommend.
OMAP drivers and HAL are compliant with Android framework, so once you understand software architecture, you can easily refer to source code and understand TI's implementation. Please feel free to post any questions specific to OMAP4.
Hello.
I'm triying now to got OM4460 CPI working with Varsicite OM4460 module. The work is on early stage so if i'll successfuly make it i'll try to share it. Variscite tells the same like TI - there isn't CPI support for OMAP4460 - so we have to do it by ourself. i hope we'll make it
WRB,
Hi.
Finally i got CPI working on Variscite DVK.
My driver based on Sergio Aguirre CSI driver so if you don'w wan to enable any part ISIF and IPIPEIF subblocks you don't have to change Ducati software.
Thank's Sergio for his work.
Hi Egor,
Thats a wonderful news!!!
Do you create any documentation of your work? I think it is very useful out there especially Uni Student.
I'll try to contact with Sergio. Maybe he will want to add CPI support to his driver.
We want to use CPI on VAR SOM OM4460 too!

Hey, enginners, help solve the problem, please!
