What device do you need to support, and what protocol does your camera use to talk to the hardware? greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

That depends on the i2c controller and the device itself.

I suggest looking at how the v4l interface works, it's quite complex, but there is documentation for it already. If you have specific questions about it, please ask on the linux-media mailing list. good luck, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

So one needs a dedicated hardware such as mipi rx and then Isp etc.. And i dont think drivers for these would be available in linux. I might be wrong ...
