FriendlyElec CAM415 4K MIPI Camera Module (8MP Sony IMX415)

• Quick Start: https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/Matrix_-_CAM415
• Tips: Connects to FriendlyElec boards via the 30-pin MIPI-CSI FPC; uses V4L2 under Linux and the standard Camera API under Android. Driver is open source.

Introduction

The FriendlyElec CAM415 is a 4K MIPI camera module built around the 8MP SONY STARVIS IMX415 CMOS sensor with 1.45µm pixels, delivering 3840×2160 capture over a 4-lane CSI-2 link. It uses a fixed-focus M12 lens with built-in IR-Cut filter, measures 32×32 mm / 8.8 g, and runs on FriendlyElec NanoPi M5 / M6, NanoPC-T6 and CM3588 NAS SDK boards under Android 14, Debian, Ubuntu and Buildroot.
