On the other hand people still struggle when it comes to CPI on RPi, because it is handled by the GPU. I'm still not so sure about this Broadcom SoC. This is the reason why I like that the RPi Camera header is also used on the Hummingboard and the BanannaPi. The Hummingboard is an iMX6. The BanannaPi unfortunately is an Allwinner and their datasheets are AFAIK chinese only and IIRC also under NDA. The Novena crown funding included iMX6 2D/3D driver development for Linux as a met stretch goal: https://www.crowdsupply.com/kosagi/novena-open-laptop/stretch-goals https://www.crowdsupply.com/kosagi/novena-open-laptop I don't know how much of the results will be useable for us, but at least some people seem to have access to enough documentation. > Andrew > > [1] > http://www.broadcom.com/docs/support/videocore/VideoCoreIV-AG100-R.pdf -- B.Walter <bernd_at_bwct.de> http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.Received on Thu Jan 29 2015 - 11:35:46 UTC
