Bring Your Camera into 2018 - Forward Porting Image Sensor Drivers

Explore the evolution of camera driver development in Linux through this 33-minute conference talk from the Embedded Linux Conference. Learn about forward porting image sensor drivers, the obsolescence of frameworks like 'soc_camera', and best practices for updating existing drivers. Discover how sensor drivers are expected to evolve as image capture subsystems in embedded devices become increasingly complex. Gain insights into topics such as device probing, asynchronous device probing, power management, media controllers, and modern device drivers. Understand the challenges and solutions in bringing camera drivers up to date with the latest Linux kernel releases, presented by Jacopo Mondi, a software engineer from Renesas with expertise in embedded systems and Linux kernel development.
