Hi everyone,

 

I have the OV5640 game ver1 image sensor with ARMBIAN 5.75 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.19.20-sunxi64. Why does the kernel 4.19.* not support the OV5640 driver? How can I add this driver manually to the kernel?

I noticed that the Orange Pi Zero Plus2 H3 kernel has OV5640 driver.

I was looking to enable the ov5640 on mainline kerne 4.x, i found this:

 

K1 PLUS
PE12/CSI_SCK/TWI2_SCK --->> I2C2_SCL
PE13/CSI_SDA/TWI2_SDA --->> I2C2_SDA
PE14                  --->> GPIOE14
PE15                  --->> GPIOE15

ORANGE PI ZERO PLUS2  
PE12/CSI_SCK/TWI2_SCK --->> CSI-SCK
PE13/CSI_SDA/TWI2_SDA --->> CSI-SDA
PE14                  --->> CSI-RESET#
PE15                  --->> CSI-STBY-EN
 

Currently, mainline use i2c to talk to the sensor,  thus making it hard to use what we have today for the H5.

I would suggest contact @zador.blood.stained and see if it is active and can help to set up the DT to use CSI-SCK and CSI-SDA.

 

I think 3.x is just a small change in the fex file.
