Basics of Camera sockets

Gomathi Chan

I'm using OMAP 5432 EVM. I came to know that there are 4 camera sockets in it. What are they, basically? And, how do they help in the camera sensor detection? What kind of information do they provide regarding the camera?

Hello Gomathi,

The OMAP5432 EVM has the following features for camera support:

- Dual MIPI CSI-2/parallel sensors supported via camera expansion connector

- Single MIPI CSI-2 Camera Connector (J2)

I suggest you referring to OMAP5432 ES2.0 EVM System Reference Manual - http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swcu130/swcu130.pdf

Q: And, how do they help in the camera sensor detection? What kind of information do they provide regarding the camera?

- Would it be possible you provide us what software platform you will use on OMAP5 uEVM? (GLSDK or Android)

Hello Gomathi,

TI Hardware Accelerated Graphics and Multimedia Binaries

Multimedia (Ducati) and accelerated graphics binaries are part of Android file system build now.

You can find the camera sensor driver in the folder 5AJ.1.5/kernel/android-3.4/drivers/media/video

For example, you can see the ov772x Camera Driver in ov772x.c file.

The Imaging Subsystem Drivers are available in kernel/android-3.4/drivers/media.

It is not necessary to be applied settings if your camera driver is available and supports by Ducati system.

You only must observe the Camera Expansion Connectors Pin Multiplexing.

Best regards,

Yanko

HI,

Actually, I'm adding a new sensor to the ducati source. That's why I need to know what are sockets? Because, I have to provide it correctly for the sensor to get detected. I'm using CSI2A.
