What does it need to develop OMAP4 camera drivers?

Michael16400

Hello,

I am trying to evaluate the OMAP4 capabilities on the PandaBoard and would like to know what kind of software effort it needs to capture some video feed.

I would basically connect a CMOS sensor through the CSI-2 connector. The images would arrive raw (yuv or rgb format) and the OMAP4 would need to compress them (or not) as well as save them to a file or stream.

How difficult is it to program that in Linux? If I already have the drivers for OV5647 in the Linux kernel, what else would need to be coded?

Thanks!

we have developed a pandaboard camera board, and we also provide demos on ubuntu12.04 for capturing video and encoding the video. for the detail, see http://www.xfengche.com:8888/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Pandaboard-Camera-Board-Manual.pdf. it is avaiable on the store:

All you need to do is to provide a upstreamable software support for CSI-2 compatible sensors hooked into the OMAP4 ISS CSI-2 Rx. You may find lots of related material to getting start with this. Best luck
