1 Overview

The MV series and RAW series cameras are cameras designed for AI applications in the industrial field. They use the MIPI CSI-2 interface and are particularly suitable for use with embedded computing platforms. They have rich data formats and triggering features, extremely low latency, high bandwidth, and reliable stability.

This article takes OrangePi CM4 and OrangePi CM5 and CM5 tablet board as an example to introduce how to connect MV and RAW series cameras to the RK3566/3K3568 and RK3588S/RK3588 system.

We provide drivers for the Linux operating system (using Ubuntu as an example).

2 Hardware Setup

We use the official baseboards of the Orange Pi CM4 and CM5, which feature a 15-pin header compatible with Raspberry Pi. For the RAW series cameras, our cameras can be directly mounted onto the baseboard without the need for an adapter board. For the MV series cameras, the ADP-MV1 adapter board is required for connection.

2.1 Camera Connection to Orange Pi CM4

The ADP-MV1 is connected to the OrangePi CM4 via a 15-pin FFC cable with opposite surface alignment; please pay attention to the orientation of the contact surfaces.

Note that only the CAM1 shown in the image below supports MV and RAW cameras.

2.2 Camera Connection to Orange Pi CM5

The OrangePi CM5 supports up to four cameras. The following diagram shows the hardware connection method for simultaneously connecting multiple cameras.

2.3 Camera Connection to Orange Pi CM5 tablet

Due to differences in connector formats, we have successfully interfaced modules for both CAM2 and CAM3 on the OrangePi CM5 tablet. The diagram below illustrates the connection methods for the RAW series and MV series.

3 Introduction to github repositories

https://github.com/veyeimaging/rk35xx_veye_bsp

https://github.com/veyeimaging/rk35xx_orangepi

includes：

driver source code
i2c toolkits
application demo

In addition, a compiled linux kernel installation package is provided in the releases.

4 Upgrade the Ubuntu system

We provide a flashing image for the release system, as well as a deb package for the Linux kernel.

Refer to the OrangePi CM4 user manual or the OrangePi CM5 user manual for instructions on flashing the system. Alternatively, you can use the general dpkg command to install the deb package.

5 Check system status

Run the following command to confirm whether the camera is probed.

sudo dmesg | grep mvcam

5.1 CM4

The CM4 supports camera connection only through the CAM1 interface. Taking the RAW-MIPI-SC132M as an example, the dmesg output contains the following information:

The output message appears as shown below：

mvcam 1-003b: camera is: RAW-MIPI-SC132M

mvcam 1-003b: firmware version: 0x1040000

Run the following command to check the presence of video node.

ls /dev/video0

The output message appears as shown below.

video0

5.2 CM5

The CM5 supports the connection of up to four cameras. Taking the RAW-MIPI-SC132M as an example, the dmesg output contains the following information:

mvcam 3-003b: camera is: RAW-MIPI-SC132M

mvcam 3-003b: firmware version: 0x1040000

mvcam 4-003b: camera is: RAW-MIPI-SC132M

mvcam 6-003b: firmware version: 0x1040000

5.3 CM5 tablet

The CM5 supports the connection of up to two cameras. Taking the RAW-MIPI-SC132M as an example, the dmesg output contains the following information:

mvcam 6-003b: camera is: RAW-MIPI-SC132M

mvcam 6-003b: firmware version: 0x1040000

mvcam 7-003b: camera is: RAW-MIPI-SC132M

-===硬件准备及安装===
-我们使用Orange Pi的CM4和CM5的官方底板，这两个底板提供了兼容树莓派的15Pin端子。对于RAW系列相机，无需使用转接板即可将我们的相机安装到其主板上。对于MV系列相机，则需要使用[[ADP-MV1 Adapter Board Data Sheet/zh|ADP-MV1]]转接板进行连接。
-====相机与OrangePi CM4的连接====
+===Hardware Setup===
-ADP-MV1和OrangePi之间使用15P的FFC异面线连接，注意接触面方向。请注意，只有下图所示的CAM1支持VEYE相机。
