Could you clarify here what you mean by users and hardware designers ? Users can be understood as - Users of the camera sensor, i.e. OEMs designing a product - Users of the hardware platform , i.e. software developers writing applications - Users of the software, i.e. end-users Hardware designers could then equally mean - Sensor vendors - SoC vendors - Board vendors - Product vendors > The issues I've raised are things that I've encountered and would > benefit from a discussion to get views as to the direction that is > perceived to be workable.
