Camera support in RB3 kit

Products Support DragonBoard 845c
#1

Hi,

As per https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/dragonboard/dragonboard845c/getting-started/rb3-kit/, it stated that RB3 kit can support OV8856 and OV7251 camera sensor.

I am using kernel version 5.4.41 and checked kernel source for camera support. Driver for both sensor is available but i couldn’t find any node for camera in device tree.

So is this camera sensor supported with this kernel? Can someone suggest any branch in which camera development is going on for RB3 kit.

Thanks,
Hiren

Sensor are supported by the kernel (configuration, control) but the missing part is the camera subsystem for getting frames over CSI. For now this camera subsystem is only supported with third party OS, but there is ongoing effort to enable it with upstream/qcomlt kernel (based on 5.7 for now).
