elvis 0 Posted October 14, 2020 Edge R board is equipped with two, 22-pins CSI interfaces. Unfortunately I couldn't find any information which camera type is compatible with this board. Can I connect regular Raspberry Pi cam or it requires something special? It would be also nice to know how to enable camera under Linux and Android. Do you have any documentation related to camera interfaces? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FredYu 0 Posted October 16, 2020 Hi Elvis, Camera for Tinker Edge R: Find the QVL (Qualified Vendor List) for Tinker Edge R Here, which including Reasberry Pi cameras. Below table is for your reference: RASPBERRY PI CAMERA V1.3 RASPBERRY PI CAMERA V2.1 Image Sensor： OmniVision OV5647 Sony IMX219 Resolution： 2592 × 1944 pixels (5 megapixel) 3280 × 2464 (8 megapixel) Sensor Image Area: 3.76 × 2.74 mm 3.69 × 2.81 mm Pixel Size: 1.4 µm × 1.4 µm 1.12 µm × 1.12 µm Video： 1920 × 1080 (1080p)30p 1920 × 1080 (1080p)30p CSI locations: MIPI CSI0 is set for OV5647 camera as default. MIPI CSI1 is set for IMX219 camera as default. Debian Test command: (NOTE: It's based on ASUS official released Debian image.) MIPI CSI0 for OV5647 $ gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 num-buffers=100 ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080, framerate=30/1 ! videoconvert ! kmssink MIPI CSI1 for IMX219 $ gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video5 num-buffers=100 ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! videoconvert ! rkximagesink Android: Under Android, it would auto-detect to initial camera. It doesn't support camera switch as default under official Android image; CSI0 (OV5647) camera is the first priority and CSI1 (IMX219) one is the next, if just one camera connected.

elvis 0 Posted October 16, 2020 Thank you for the answer, I will test board with RPi cam then. However you wrote: 3 hours ago, FredYu said: MIPI CSI0 is set for OV5647 camera as default. MIPI CSI1 is set for IMX219 camera as default. It makes a lot sense to use two different cameras for testing, but in more real scenario it would be nice to connect both cameras of the same type. How can I change "default" settings? Will it just work if I connect two OV5647 cameras for example? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can I change "default" settings? Will it just work if I connect two OV5647 cameras for example? Hi Elvis, For Debian, the hardware can be configured thru /boot/config.txt file. Regarding CSI cameras, CSI0 is enabled with OV5647 and CSI1 is enabled with IMX219 by default. 1. If you would like to enable CSI0 with IMX219, you can add the overlay CSI-IMX219 as the following and reboot the device. overlay=CSI0-IMX219 2. If you would like to enable CSI1 with OV5647, you can add the overlay CSI1-OV5647 as the following and reboot the device. overlay=CSI1-OV5647 You could find more details from the file. For Android, it seems not easy to be achieved, has to modify from the source code. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elvis 0 Posted October 25, 2020 @FredYu - I wanted to connect two OV5647 cameras. Using different camera for left and right channel makes no sense to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FredYu 0 Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Hi Elvis, MIPI CSI0 is set for OV5647 camera as default, you could additionally set the CSI1 to OV5647 as the following in the /boot/config.txt file, then reboot the device. overlay=CSI1-OV5647 Edited October 28, 2020 by FredYu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SutterBruce 0 Posted July 6, 2021 Hi, What's the status of Tinker Board support for the Pi HQ camera? (https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-high-quality-camera/). Have any tests been made? Are drivers available? (Or am I overlooking something?) Thanks, Bruce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladest 2 Posted July 20, 2021 @FredYuI've tried to connect IMX219 camera to CSI0 using the overlay in config.txt, but then i2c-6 interface, enabled in same config.txt, is disappeared if I connecting IMX219 sensor to CSO1, then both works, but I'm planning to have 2 IMX cameras connected eventually. How I can keep all of them working at same time? i2c-6 is where my peripheral connected to i2c bus using pins 3/5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
