Can you also clarify for me the difference between omap3camera and your linux-omap-camera (http://dev.omapzoom.org/?p=saaguirre/linux-omap-camera.git;a=summary) repositories? I assume this development has mainly happened on the "board-rx51*" platform? Ultimately I want to get raw sensor data to memory. Do you foresee any problems doing that with the current state of omap3camera? Might I be better off going with a kernel with v4l2_int_device at first? thanks, Michael MATRIX VISION GmbH, Talstrasse 16, DE-71570 Oppenweiler Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 271090 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Gerhard Thullner, Werner Armingeon, Uwe Furtner, Hans-Joachim Reich
