How to add new devices to Linux Kernel 3.18

satyavenkatasan — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 07:47:47 GMT

Hi all,

I am using imx6 SoloLite processor Eval board. Because of few other constraints (i.e. no support for few modules that we used in earlier version) I'm forced to use Linux kernel 3.18.

I wanted to add a camera (OV5640) with CSI interface to kernel 3.18. Can any one help me with the steps that I need to follow to add this module in .dts and dtsi files and also how to patch the driver. As I am completely new to the linux kernel.

I have seen the camera driver for ov5640 is available for the kernel 2.6 which I attached hear. how to use the same.

Thanks & Regards,

Satya.
