ISI Image Sensor, anyone working on Linux code?

Started by Tobias Weber March 3, 2011
Hi all,

I got a fine running 2.6.30 on my AT91SAm9G45 dev board here (Embest)
and would like to use the Image Sensor Interface. So far, I was unable
to find any linux support for this peripheral. Is there something that
could be tested (even alpha-code is welcome) or is someone already
working on an implementation of this? I would really help on this, but I
never worked on kernel drivers so far...

Hi,

You may not the code available directly as linux driver.

What you can do is download the sample application available in the
AT91SAM website and make a driver out of it.

Hi,

OK so if no one ever implemented a driver AT91SAM9 ISI into the linux
kernel, I will start. I already coded some WDM USB driver professionally
for a company, so I guess kernel modules wont be any harder to code. I
found some basics on http://lwn.net/Articles/203924/ and started to
write an own V4L2 driver particularly for the G45. The source will be
BSD/GPL. If someone has ideas or help, please share it, write me an email.

Hi Tobias Weber

I wonder that you are from Brazil, is that correct?

I am from there also ( SP ) and I am working in a project using AT91SAM9XE512 with OV7740 image sensor. It is already working fine using AT91LIB and now I am porting it to Linux and found the same problem of you: lack of ISI linux driver.

I found this link:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg20128.html

that is a patch for ISI interface.

Hope that it will be useful for you.

I am searching for ISI linux driver also. If you can share anything with me, this will be great.

Good luck.
