I Have one R&D in video camera for which video camera supports to the imx8mp device, I Have list of some camera’s so can you tell me that I Can use that camera or not ?
Please Guide for the low cost camera because we just need to test that video camera is run or not in our imx8mp and display that camera image and video on the toradex display

Hello Ravi,
Based on the context provided, here are the recommendations for your IMX8MP device:
2MP IMX462 Color Ultra Low Light STARVIS HDR Camera Module: This camera is compatible with the IMX8MP and is a suitable option for your R&D project, especially for low-light conditions. It should work effectively for testing purposes.
e-con Systems e-CAM50_CUNX 5MP AR0521: This camera is primarily designed for NVIDIA Jetson platforms, and its compatibility with the IMX8MP is not guaranteed. It would be best to verify compatibility through the manufacturer’s documentation or support before proceeding.
Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2: This camera uses the MIPI CSI interface, which is compatible with the IMX8MP. It is a low-cost option suitable for testing video capture and display on the Toradex display. However, you should confirm specific driver support for this camera on the IMX8MP.
For a low-cost camera option, both the 2MP IMX462 and the Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 are recommended as they are more likely to be compatible with the IMX8MP and are widely used in similar applications. Ensure that the selected camera module can interface correctly with the IMX8MP and that drivers or software support is available for displaying images and video on the Toradex display.
Best regards,

Please, also check if these links can help you solve your problem:
So as per the list of camera i have shared above is it not compatible with imx8mp device?
I have to use compulsory the camera that you have shared the details.
Hello @bruno.tx ,
The camera that you have mentioned in the list are too costly, because we just need camera to test the basic functionality of the camera like that the camera is able to take picture and video and it displayed on the toradex display. so there is no alternative low cost camera?
The cameras you shared are not directly compatible with the MIPI-CSI connector we have on our boards.
For the Verdin iMX8MP, we recommend going with the cameras which we have tested.
In addition to what is listed on the links I sent, Arducam can provide a compatible OV5640 camera module as well. To get it you will need to contact them via email.
I wanted to discuss the list of cameras provided earlier and clarify if there are any technical reasons that might affect their compatibility with the iMX8MP device. if any technical issue please tell me the issue so I can forward this issue with my senior person.
There are two sources of incompatibility on the cameras you pointed out:
Hardware
Software
The hardware incompatibility comes from a different pinout in the MIPI-CSI connector from the camera and from Toradex Carrier Boards. Please compare the respective datasheets to see this.
Such hardware incompatibility can often be overcome with adapters, which usually need to be custom-made and can vary in complexity, depending on the camera module.
The software incompatibility comes from the lack of compatible drivers for many cameras with the iMX8MP. This is usually the harder problem to overcome.
Here you would need to check if there is a driver for that specific camera module (usually not only the sensor) that is compatible with the Verdin iMX8MP.
To get cameras which are both compatible in hardware and software, we strongly recommend going with the solutions which we have tested and validated.
USB: The USB 2.0 Host interface is available on all the modules to connect USB Cameras, while the USB 3.0 interface is only available on specific modules from the Apalis SoM Family and the Verdin SoM Family. Check the particular datasheets for further details. Cameras | Toradex Developer Center
so give me the list and tell me the testing procedure for USB 3.0 camera so we can move forward and testing other things
There is no such list, as the variety of USB cameras is too large.
Most USB cameras use the UVC driver, which is available by default in our BSP.
However, some specific cameras do not comply with this standard and may require additional software or drivers to work.
For testing cameras, please consult the documentation.
