Camera sensors hardware components

Applicable for STM32MP13x lines, STM32MP15x lines, STM32MP25x lines


1. Article purpose[edit source]

The purpose of this article is to:

  • List the camera sensors hardware components that might be integrated in the different boards.
  • Link these components to the corresponding software framework(s).
  • Point to the appropriate component datasheets.
  • Explain, when necessary, how to configure these components.

2. Software frameworks[edit source]

Domain Peripheral Software components Comment
OP-TEE Linux STM32Cube
Visual OmniVision OV5640

GalaxyCore GC2145

Sony IMX335

V4L2 camera framework Camera sensors

3. OmniVision OV5640[edit source]

The OmniVision OV5640 camera sensor supports both parallel and MIPI® CSI-2 interfaces.

For details and the datasheet please contact the OV5640 provider.

3.1. Linux driver[edit source]

Bindings: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/i2c/ovti,ov5640.yaml

Sources: drivers/media/i2c/ov5640.c

4. GalaxyCore GC2145[edit source]

The GalaxyCore GC2145 camera sensor supports both parallel and MIPI® CSI-2 interfaces.

For details and the datasheet please contact GalaxyCore.
