We have bought an Apalis imx8 on Ixora board, together with the AR0521 camera set.
The customer support told us that the camera was supported.
In fact I can found the related driver in the 5.7 dunfell based BSP, but I can’t find the same driver in the 6.x kirkstone BSP.
The problem is that I need gstreamer accelerated plugins that are only available in version 6.
So could you please tell me how I can use the ar0521 camera with the BSP version 6 ?
Thanks for help.
Regards.
Hi @cch,
Welcome to the Toradex Developer Community.
The AR0521 camera driver is not currently supported in BSP version 6.
I would recommend that you use BSP 5.7 LTS with this camera module for now.
The general steps to get set up are available in the Developer Website article First Steps with CSI Camera Set 5MP AR0521 Color (Linux).
The problem is that I need gstreamer accelerated plugins that are only available in version 6.
We have GStreamer accelerated plugins available in BSP 5.7, you can test them using our Reference Multimedia Image and following the article Video Encoding and Playback With GStreamer (Linux).
Best Regards,
Hello @cch ,
Do you have any updates on this topic?
Were you able to test the alternative solution given by @bruno.tx ?

Sorry for late reply due to holidays.
Yes I have downgraded the BSP to 5.7 and managed to use the AR0521 camera. It is a backup solution but it implies that we will be locked on an old version of Yocto and kernel, not ideal.

Hi @cch ,
I can confirm this is work in progress. We’re aware that the driver is missing. We’ll keep you updated.
Best Regards
