Hello Kevin,

The Processor SDK Linux for AM62P 10.1 and later (https://www.ti.com/tool/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62P) supports 4x OV5640 out-of-box. You can use the following scripts to setup the cameras and stream from 4x cameras:

https://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/791/setup_5F00_cameras_5F00_v3link.sh: edit this script and use the desired resolution
https://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/791/stream_2D00_4xOV5640.sh: provide resolution when running this script, e.g.
```
root@am62pxx-evm:~# ./stream-4xOV5640.sh 1920 1080
```

If you're using SDK 9.2, please apply the following patch and rebuild the SDK:
