[solved] Up Board to RPi camera adapter

fclad_n

Hello everyone,

I really need to use the CSI interface on the UP Board. I know that the board is not compatble with RPi cameras, due to the pinout. However, I wonder if an adapter can be engineered.

Which are the drawbacks of this approach? Is the MIPI CSI on the UP Board standard? I expect to leave unconnected the pins CAM_MCLK, CAM_RST_N and FLASH_RST_N.

Thank you

The Raspberry Pi camera is based on the chip IMX219.

Hi @fclad_n ,

Sorry, but tUP camera interface is MIPI-CSI2 (2-lane) is currently only supported on Windows.

A new compatible camera will be available for Linux soon for the UP shop.
In this moment, for Linux, you can use any USB or Ethernet cameras.

Cheers!

Are there any news about this Linux compatible CSI camera?
Thanks!

Hi @lbcastro ,

Sorry but I am afraid there is not compatible MPI-CSI camera yet for Linux.

In this moment, only USB HD camera is supported:

Thanks for the reply, even though that lack of support invalidates UP Boards as an option for my project.
