But maybe I'm not doing the right thing. I've hacked the ov772x driver for use with the OMAP3 ISP driver. You can find the patches at http://git.linuxtv.org/pinchartl/media.git/shortlog/refs/heads/board/beagle/ov772x. They're not upstreamable as-is, work is in progress to implement a proper solution, but that will still need time. I don't expect a solution in mainline before v3.9, if not v3.10. > Il giorno 10-nov-2012 14:56, "Guennadi Liakhovetski" <g.liakhovetski@xxxxxx> > ha scritto: > > On Sat, 10 Nov 2012, Carmignani Dario wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > thanks for the answer. > > > > > > Sorry, but I actually have not so clear how I can use soc-camera sensor > > > driver with, for example, vpfe for dm365. > > > > > > Can you please give me some hints? > > > > Sorry, I'm not working with those systems.
