VD55G0 libcamera stack source code, per LGPL 2.1

[Bryan1986]

Hello,

For the vd55g0, you provide a kernel driver and device tree as source here: https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stsw-img505.html

You also provide a libcamera integration stack (STSW-IMG505_LCAM), but this is closed source, and only the libcamera-base.so and libcamera.so files are provided via the .deb package. This makes it such that we cannot work with the libcamera source or custom applications, unless we use your pre-compiled libcamera libraries.

Could we please get source code for the changes, per LGPL 2.1, which libcamera uses? Or, for now, if this takes some time for you to do, please just the camera helper file would be massively helpful. This is likely called "camera_helper_vd55g0.cpp" inside of "src/ipa/rpi/cam_helper/". Of course we can write our own but we chose this path for ease of integration and speed.

This would greatly assist us in integrating your sensor to our product.

Thank you! We would greatly appreciate it.

Hello Bryan,

 

We work to add the support of our sensor directly in the main line of libcamera but for the moment please find the camera helper of VD55G0
