Camera drivers for the BeagleBoard-XM

Ken Leigh

The BeagleBoard-XM(BBXM) user manual states that the BBXM supports camera modules from Leopard Imaging and lists a few modules.

The 5MP module from Leopard imaging has an Aptina image sensor on it and I believe drivers are available for it .

I would like to connect another brand(Omnivision) camera module to the BBXM cam interface port the resolution is still 5MP.

Are there camera drivers available for this brand of camera module?

Where can I get a consolidated list of drivers that the BBXM supports and are these drivers available for download?

Hi Ken,

I've got the leopard 5MP board lying around, but it doesn't seem te be supported... The sensor is supported through the DM365 capture interface but these seems to be no code to get this working through 3730 ISP interface...

Did you get any other 5MP module working?

Hi Rudger,

Hi didn't pursue the BeagleBoard XM, I decided to interface the camera module to a FPGA.

However I did find a few things that might be useful to you however you might need to work on them as they are for the DM365

This is the link

This has been tested for 1920x1080 30fps but for the DM365 you could use this as a reference.

This is the link to the VGA and 3M driver for the BeagleBoard XM

http://gitorious.org/angstrom/openembedded/commit/a7fb700281df376fcc3a6b10a8f1ae40c3eb359a

If you have the VGA or 3M modules you could try this out, or use this as reference too for the 5M driver.

Sorry, I couldn't do more for you.

Thanks Ken,

I've found the same pieces of code. We will use the 3MP cam for now.
