@0xB0D@lemmy.ml The complexity is that we have a couple of different versions of IMX519 driver already from the Arducam 16MP camera, as well as an expectation that as this sensor should be CCS compatible, it should run with the already upstream CCS driver.
One thing that /would/ help is if someone can find the full register programming manual for the IMX519 which we have not been able to obtain.
On SDM845 (I would guess this might indicate someone is looking at perhaps the OP6 here) there are a couple of small integration issues for the DT and regulators as well. Anyway - My hope is to work through this and get the SoftISP running on OP6 (with the IMX519) during FOSDEM.
Quick updates here.
We managed to get the IMX519 driver probing successfully with the CCS driver (an alternative driver that should be able to run this module), but discovered that the camera is connected over C-PHY instead of D-PHY, which explains our earlier difficulties and inability to capture so far.
The good news is that, knowing that helps a long way to the next steps. The bad news is that as I understand it, C-PHY is not yet supported in the camss driver. So the next development steps are to first determine getting C-PHY support added, and then we can come back to testing and validating the IMX519. With a blocker on the C-PHY, for now I wouldn't expect this to be achievable in the next two months.
