This might seem like a strange question, but does anyone know the reason for the camera driver not be implemented as a SoC camera driver?

For those not familiar with this, it is a framework that uses V4L2 for cameras that use connections that aren't USB, PCI, etc. It seems that in this case this would be a perfect fit.

  • Hey Jamiro14 can I ask what is a SoC camera vs something else? I have posted a question here that might be related. Thanks Commented Mar 23, 2015 at 14:56
  • Hey @joelmaranhao I was refering to the SoC-Camera subsystem. kernel.org/doc/Documentation/video4linux/soc-camera.txt Commented May 7, 2015 at 18:22

In what way is the bcm2835-v4l2 driver not an SoC camera driver?

i.e. this:

  • Because it's only using the V4L2 API and not the Soc-Camera Subsystem (based on the V4L2 API) Commented May 7, 2015 at 18:21
  • Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. Commented Oct 5, 2015 at 1:05

UV4L does have the raspicam V4L2 driver (and many other useful plug-in's)
