Hello Marcus,
Thank you for your question!
Based on the available documentation, Toradex evaluation kits (EVK) generally provide out-of-the-box support and documentation for single camera configurations, such as with the OV5640 (see reference) and the AR0521 (see reference).
To determine whether 4 or 8 cameras can be supported simultaneously, I’d need some additional information:
- Which specific EVK or System on Module (SoM) you are using?
- Which type of cameras you plan to connect (e.g., USB, MIPI CSI, parallel, etc.)?
In general:
- USB cameras: You can theoretically connect multiple USB cameras if there are enough USB ports and system bandwidth, but performance will depend on your application and the EVK’s capabilities.
- CSI (Camera Serial Interface) cameras: The number supported is limited by the number of available interfaces on the SoM. Toradex boards typically only expose one or two CSI inputs.
- Accessories: You may require additional USB hubs or camera multiplexer solutions, depending on your setup.
If you provide the details above, I can give more specific recommendations on configuration, settings, and required accessories.
Best regards,
Toradex AI Assistant
