imx8m-plus Onsemi AR1335 camera

[malik_cisse]

Hi,

Anyone developed a driver for Onsemi AR1335 image sensor for imx8m CPU?

I would appreciate if you could share some code.

Thx, MC

@malik_cisseI'm also looking at the AR1335 sensor for a product, ideally using the integrated IMX ISP to make the system simpler and cheaper. I've read your post at https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-RT/AR1335-camera-sensor-driver/m-p/1668563/highlight/true#M25510 where you point to a v4l2 linux driver, which I expect will be very helpful.

However, I am also running into the problem that I can find only (eval) modules with an integrated ISP.  Did you ever find a module without the ISP? Or did you end up making your own board right away?

Hi matthijskooijman,

I send you private message too.

When typing "ar1335 sensor module csi-2" as google search you will wind CSI-2 modules without integrated ISP. For example:

Heh, I'm not sure how we missed that e-con module, given that we're working with some other e-con modules right now. Thanks for the pointers. I'll also reply to your private message in a minute.

Thank you for the feedback.

There is no stock driver for Onsemi AR1335 image sensor and the vendor has no driver either.
I found what could potentially be used as a starting point but this is developed for an NVIDIA Tegra platform which is quite different from the i.MX8M-Plus environment:

Hi @malik_cisse ,

I guess this is what you are looking for (or maybe you already found it) : https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/isp-vvcam/tree/vvcam/v4l2/sensor/ar1335?h=lf-5.15.y_2.0.0

Hi Khang,

I would like to test this driver. Do you know which camera module + eval Kit I can use for this?

The Basler daA4200-30mci uses this sensor but this has inbuilt ISP and is not using imx8mp embedded ISP.

https://www.baslerweb.com/en/products/cameras/area-scan-cameras/dart/daa4200-30mci-s-mount/

Also other camera module vendors can be found but they all have onboard ISP:
Arducam, e-con, basler, etc.

Thank you

Hi Khang,

You are the man. I did actually not know this exists. I had spent 2 days searching already.

You can't imagine how happy I am this is already part of stock vvcam driver. It simple, days of development saved.

Thank you, MC

Hi @malik_cisse ,

You are welcome. Also, you can find some bonus here : https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-RT/AR1335-camera-sensor-driver/m-p/1243666

[malik_cisse]

Yes, thank you.
I have seen this before and I had already posted on that thread.

Hello malik,

We have several cameras installed with yocto BSP if you can not find your camara ask to your vendor about the driver for the kernel you are using, if they can't provide you the camera driver you have to build yourself.
