Low cost camera modules

julian

Hi team,

I'm attempting to source some lower cost camera modules for a custom base board (using the RVC2 SoM). I've seen the supported sensors listed here: https://docs.luxonis.com/hardware/platform/sensors/sensors/, but they are specced above what I require, so I'm looking to understand what it would require to use an 'unsupported' camera module.

For example the following specs would suffice:

VGA (640x480) resolution
rolling shutter
mono
FPS >= 10

The OV7251 seems close but likely more expensive due to the global shutter.

Ignoring the physical connector would it be difficult to use modules like below?

Thanks,

The issue is that there is no driver for unsupported sensors, which means the RVC2 can't communicate with the CCM. For this you would need a FW access.
