Why are there no sensors other than the IMX477 available for the raspi? There’s a plethora of CSI sensors, yet all aftermarket boards use this one. Is the RPi locked to use only that particular sensor?

- atoav 4y agoUsing the sensor with existing, working software support is easier than one without it I guess? Not anybody is able to take a modern sensor and make it work with just any device. If you are the type of person who both can do that and is willing to do it, the whole community would definitly be grateful.
- mschuster91 4y agoIIRC the problem is you need to bake in support for CSI sensors into the firmware itself, and for that you need datasheets... CSI is only the communication interface, not the protocol - for webcams, UVC exists on top of USB, but embedded doesn't have that luxury.
