On this page you will find useful informations on how to use the Camera/CMOS Sensor Interface (CSI) of the i.MX chip found on your APF board. Currently only the i.MX27/APF27 are supported.

Hardware

  • All the signals of the i.MX27 CSI interface can be found on the J9 connector of the APF27Dev development board.
  • You should connect an external camera compatible with the CSI interface (8bits data bus) to see something ;-). Here are the tested sensor models:

Driver

  • From now we consider that you have a supported camera module plugged on you development board
  • CSI interface can be driven through the V4L2 (Video For Linux) standard interface as soon as CSI driver is loaded:
 # modprobe mx27_camera
  • Then you have to load your camera driver in order for him to "attach" to the CSI one (for example for the OV9653):
 # modprobe ov96xx
  • Now it's up to you to configure your camera with the tools/API the camera driver is offering...
