Raspberry Pi HQ camera

[dav1]

Hi,

Has anyone successfully used a Rpi HQ camera with the i.MX RT series?

It has a pretty nice 12.3 megapixel Sony IMX477R sensor

The interface coming from the camera is a 2-lane MIPI CSI-2, so a Parallel Bridge IC or FPGA would be needed to feed the imxRT. Costwise this might not make any sense though, but just curious if someone have it up & running.

Hi, 

Is there any update on the support for the raspberry pi HQ cam (which can be used on the DEBIX Model A)? 
Or could I only use the OKdo Camera 500 to 1300A camera's?

And is this limited by the DEBIX OS support for camera's? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @qntn ,

  If you have any issues, please create your own question post, thanks.

  Then we will help you in your own question post, please also tell use which NXP chip you are using in your own post.

Best Regards,

Kerry

The raspberry pi HQ camera output is RAW format which requires an ISP to convert to a usable color space.  The raspberry pi does this, unfortunately the i.MX RT parts do not have an internal ISP.  The cameras mentioned above - MT9M114 and OV7725 are modules which contain an ISP chip and then output a YUV type output to a CSI interface. 

The i.MX 8M Plus does have an ISP and the camera built for it by Basler uses an OnSemi AR0821 image sensor and outputs raw.  It has a M12 lens mount so you can add different lenses.

Hi dav1,

  Until now, I didn't see any customer use the HQ camera in the RT. so we still don't have any solutions about 12.3 megapixel Sony IMX477R sensor with RT.

   We are mainly using MT9M114 or OV7725 camera module.

   Maybe you also can check your Sony IMX477R sensor, whether that can meet the RT CSI demand. About the RT CSI feature, you can check the RT reference manual, CSI chapter.

   If you still need help from my side, just kindly let me know.

Best Regards,

Kerry

hi, thanks will check what we can do. might look at imx8mini instead
