NEO and a Camera

Good Day Fellow UDoo’ers:

I recently received my NEO this week and I’m happy to report that all booted without any issues.

However, when I went to the “Camera Section” I saw a message that says:
“For the moment there is no digital camera (CSI-MIPI) available for UDOO Neo. PCB is under development. sorry guys!”

The documentation that came printed inside the box indicates there is a connector for an analog camera.
So my questions are:

1. I assume the current Udoo camera will NOT work with the NEO even if the connector was modified right?
2. Does the current NEO board version have “electronic traces” and the only thing that is missing is the camera that you’re working on? If so, do you have an ETA of when it will be complete?
3. Will the NEO current version support a USB WebCam? (I did read some place that it makes the processes get crazy high when using a USB webcam cause power consumption.)
4. Can a Bluetooth Camera be configured to work?

TIA –
Jim

 

Dear routerboy309, welcome in the UDOO Community!
1: yes, you're right.
2: there's no ETA at date. What you mean by electronic traces?
3: we have no test about it, but it's higher than usually
4: not yet.

 

Hi
Thank you for the quick response.
About #2: The connector on the board...does it actually have "copper" going somewhere? Or is the connector just a connector with no intelligence behind it?

The copper goes to imx6 to dedicated pins for VADC (check page 6 of the schematics)

 

Hi

Excellent! So the schematics are up to date...Great!
