add ov2659 camera support in mx53_smd tablet

[Mats1z]

SABRE tablet uses ov5642 camera module. In kernel configuration support for ov2640, ov3640, ov5640 and ov5642 are present.

I need ov2659 support in my sabre tablet. How it can be accomplished?

Hello,Mats1z,

      You need 4 steps to do it :

(1)Check if the definitions of signals on ov2659 are in accordence with those of camera connector on i.mx53 SMD board.

(2)add linux driver of ov2659 to linux kernel( should place it at the same path of ov3640/ov5642.

(3)Select it when you configure linux kernel and compile it.

(4)According to OV2659 hardware feature , adjust HAL of camera in android.
See ~/myandroid/hardware/mx5x/libcamera/

Hello,Mats1z,

    Yes, in linux drivers path, there is no ov2659 driver, you should get it from OV company or manufactrue that supply vo2659 module to you , or you will have to program one according to datasheet and by refering to other ov sensor's driver.
