Well, with a camera port. Both the soquartz and Quartz64-A have csi connector for the camera. The pinout is such that raspberry pi v2 camera (imx219) can be connected directly to soquartz. However for Quartz64-A it requires an adapter. Rega

Well, As opposed to having to plug register addresses directly into C code. That's the alternative, isn't it?

So they write a bunch of drivers and stuff for pine phone. As a pine fan I thank them, but this doesn't mean we can't have a difference in opinion what does it mean for some component to be a black box. If you compare with some ot

It is also funny because there is no way in hell Google and Apple are allowing "an everything app" in their play stores. They very much dislike apps that don't have a very clearly defined purpose.

Yes, but all my docs are for rk3566, pine's Quartz64-A and soquartz boards. Radxa uses the same chip in few places, but I'm not sure if the board schematics will be of any use to you. If this is the chip you need info for let me k

People don't realise how much stuff the ISP does. It took me over a week to make an extremely basic profile for a new camera chip. And I had all the tools and the documents OEMs use. There is a 100 page long procedure I had to follow t

I too have a (fairly) strong emotional bias towards pine products. I can tell you why. For one, pine is the only manufacturer I know of that managed to obtain and release real down to register level documentation for the hardware they use.

The reason why modern smartphones have such good camera picture quality is primarily thanks to the ISP profiles developed by teams of people for the particular sensor in use. ISP is an imaging signal processor, a component of most mobile SO

Any uncertainty will raise market prices. Russia still benefits economically from higher gas prices. Also, the reasoning from the Russian leadership has never been very logical. From the decision to attack Ukraine in the first place in 2014
