The RP1 Chip Based Cameras

[tracyphasespace]

The RP1 IO allows high speed interfaces to peripheral devices https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/rp1.html
Potentially adding an interface with USB 4 / Thunderbolt connection to a camera will allow longer distance cables than possible with MIPI CSI, and much higher data rates, where the RP5 is mostly just enabling the camera to record, but unlikely to process much. We are looking at the options and designing a generic solution, which is how I ran across these projects. Thoughts?

I don't really understand your questions really, adding a highspeed interface to support longer camera cable for deployment? I have build some GMSL2 board for that already. Adding highspeed interface for RPI5? Just go with 10GBE.

Both of them does not remotely related to RP1 in anyway, so I'm really confused about your questions.

You might be right, we really just want to record data to a solid state hard disk from the higher speed image sensors at up to 40 gigabits / second and then review the data. An FPGA might be better than throwing a RP5 in the mix, but for a project we are using RP5 CM5 anyway, so since we are building a custom board, I've been searching for similar things and found your impressive projects. Might not be any overlap, but it's interesting to see how many other things you've done in similar areas.

Also I didn't know you'd done a GMSL2 board. Information link on that?

Looks like that might be a superior solution as some of them support the Nvidia Orin which could actually process the images. Thanks

I haven't got the time to bring up the board yet, so it is not published to my github.
