Adding Support for the IMX412 Camera Sensor on a VC MIPI Module for IMX95

Arliden — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 14:57:33 GMT

Overview
As part of adding support for the IMX412 camera sensor mounted on a VC MIPI module to Compulab’s EVK (UCM-IMX95) running an i.MX95 SoM, the following changes were made:

Added the required device tree nodes to describe the video capture pipeline:
VC camera → MIPI CSI controller → CSI pixel formatter → ISI
Integrated the official VC driver from their GitHub repository (https://github.com/VC-MIPI-modules), with minor modifications, as the driver primarily targets the i.MX8 family.

Current Status
The driver successfully communicates with the sensor over the I²C bus, reports the supported video formats, and creates /dev/video* device nodes. However, it does not create /dev/media* or /dev/v4l-subdev* devices.
At this stage, I am unsure of the root cause, but I suspect the issue is related to the device tree configuration.

I have attached the relevant DTS files, as well as the vc driver. I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on what might be missing or misconfigured.

*Note: The file imx95.dts is really imx95.dtsi. I changed it so that the upload would be accepted.

why do you need add IMX412 camera sensor mounted on a VC MIPI module? what's the purpose of this module? do you have further information about this?

Thank you for the prompt reply!
The VC mipi module is just the board shipped from vision components onto which the imx412 is mounted. I am attaching the hardware operation manual they provided.

Thanks

I checked that these VC drivers are for the third party company board, currently we haven't supported these boards yet since imx95 is under preproduction, I suggest that you can consult from the third party company
