Linux MIPI Camera Driver

Customer Challenge

  • Customer is a leading Japanese Imaging Sensor solution provider
  • To integrate their image sensors with major embedded platforms
  • Ensure that the proprietary sensor information is not exposed to third party without breaking Linux architecture

Scope

  • Develop Linux drivers for their MIPI camera sensors
  • Design generic driver and middleware so that camera’s proprietary data is not exposed through driver source code

Solution

  • Developed MIPI camera sensor drivers for Jetson TX1 and HummingBoard
  • Added support for Raw image formats (Raw 10 bit etc.) in BSP
  • Took support from SoC/board vendors to resolve the issues

Benefits

  • Camera’s proprietary data is not exposed through driver source code
  • The same architecture was used in upcoming NVIDIA / Jenson series.

Results

  • New driver developed for use in upcoming automotive/industrial platform

Features

  • Design of generic driver and middleware shall fit into V4L2 framework and I2C framework
  • Technology: Jetson TX1, HummingBoard, V4L2, MIPI CSI, I2C
