I am running Android 10 on a Nitrogen8M mini from Boundary Devices, which uses the i.MX 8M mini processor, and want to connect a camera using the MIPI CSI-2 connection. Boundary Devices has a module using the OV5640 sensor, but I want to know what my options are before settling on a specific camera sensor. Is there anywhere in the Android-NXP documentation, where the camera sensors supported by Android on the i.MX 8M mini are listed?
