Need board to connect RPI-CAM-MIPI to iMX8M-EVK

roberthougen — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 20:52:25 GMT

I have a i.MX8M-EVK and want to connect a RPI-CAM-MIPI to it.
The picture on your web site shows two boards included in the RPI-CAM-MIPI, but when I received it there was only one board.
The 22pin FFC to mini-SAS adaptor board was not included. The picture shows the board part number as 700-55271 REV X3.
Is there a way I could buy this board, or could NXP provide the design files including schematic and board layout so I can have one made?

Thank you

I can undestand Roberts Question well. I am also interested in the board RPI-CAM-MINISAS which should be included in the Product RPi-CAM-MIPI according to the documentation (See Board Kit Contents in https://docs.nxp.com/bundle/UM11933/page/topics/rpi-cam-mipi_overview.html).

Thank you Brian for giving the link to the design files.

Unfortunately the RPI-CAM-MINISAS is not part of this files in PDF Format. Are there any additional Schematics for that board?

I also purchased RPI-CAM-MIPI, but the mini-SAS adapter board was not included.

Does this mean that this board is not included in RPI-CAM-MIPI?

Hi Brian,

Can you please provide the design files for the RPI-CAM-MIPI board with MiniSAS connector i.e the 700-55271 design files.

We are using the i.MX8X-EVK development board with MiniSAS connector for camera interface where the above RPI-CAM-MIPI board with MiniSAS connector i.e the 700-55271 design can help us to integrate different camera modules with i.MX8M-EVKit

Regards,

Vihang Waze

Indeed. I purchased the set with the camera pictured with the adapter and it was also listed by the distributor. I was shocked and frustrated when it was not in the box. It looks like NXP has stopped making them.

In the end I started developing the driver on a raspberry pi instead but it's far from ideal.

There has been a picture of a board with 4 mini-sas connectors to one 22pin FPC connector floating around in NXPs applicationnotes/starting guides but I can't find that product.

Technexxion makes modules as well but they all have an ISP on them that can not be bypassed without heavy modifications.
