A13-SOM: Camera CSI pins?

[bruceuk]

Hello

I need to revisit this question hence the heavy redaction and editing of this thread.

Are there any notes or examples of how to attach a cmos camera to the A13-SOM?

From my limited understanding, the cmos camera would use the CSI pins: pins 29 - 36  BUT they are shared
with the debug UART.

Therefore, am I correct in thinking that it is possible to attach a cmos camera using pins 29-36, with the understanding that the required DTS definition would disable the debug port (which is probably not needed for a production ready product anyway)?

Thanks for the help!

What about the ones which include "CSI" in their name?

bumping thread in hope of finding an example where somebody has connected a cmos camera to the A13-SOM

Thanks

Is it not the same as for the earlier A13 boards?

hmm... good idea! ... but couldn't find anything. Also, I'm confusing cmos and Camera Serial Interface...duh!!

I can't find any examples of people using the CSI interface, these exmaples all use the usb:

BUT....another duh!! on my part, my A20-SOM EVB has a CSI camera attached...so basically a working example. I had another look at the searchable PNG schematic and confirmed processor pins: 114 - 125 are the 12 CSI pins.

Thanks again for all the help, much appreciated!!!

Anything that works is progress
