In the current release kernel 3.0, there are only the following image sensors supported:

MT9V111

OV2640

OV3640

OV5640

OV8820

However, these sensors are quite old and spec are not competitive.

Anyone knows if there are any other newer sensors can be supported by iMX6?

Yes, I mean support out of box by imx6. Currently we are using the OV5642 camera module from Boundary device.

For out-of-box support those are the supported modules

Another question is, if I integrate other module driver to the kernel, can it be supported by the gstreamer?

I believe so.

Any new camera will be a /dev/videoX device, and in case you need to change some source code for gstreamer, it will be only use /dev/video10 instead of /dev/video0.

Are there any drivers for parallel image sensors that are provided by imx6? Has anyone developed drivers to use directly in wandboard?  Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!!

When you say "can be supported by imx6" do you mean can be supported out of box by imx6?

Because, you can integrate any camera module driver to kernel, and create the needed hardware to integrate it.
