Guennadi, I am not sure what you mean by ATM sensor. Is it not a Aptina/Micron sensor giving Raw Bayer RGB or Yuv data? Not sure what prevents it from interfacing with VPFE. In otherwords, how is this different from mt9t031/mt9t001 in terms of hardware signals available to interface to a SOC? Murali Karicheri Software Design Engineer Texas Instruments Inc.
