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) to see something ;-). Here are the tested sensor models:

Driver

  • CSI interface can be driven through the V4L2 (Video For Linux) standard interface as soon as CSI driver is loaded:
 # modprobe mx27_camera
