Writing Camera HAL for AM57xx Evaluation Module

[Devashish Tiwari]

I have an AM572x Evaluation Module TMDSEVM572X (ACTIVE) with me. I have successfully built and compiled the android on it.

The camera app is not working and the camera device/module is not detected even if present on the board.

However, when I tried attaching an external USB Camera and installed a simple USB camera application to test it. To my surprise, the USB camera is working fine.

As per this thread on TI Forum, AM572x does not support the camera module in Android SDK. But they have mentioned that it might be possible to get it working if I did changes around HAL.

I have a few files related to the camera module present at the hardware/libhardware/modules/camera path. But there is no code for am57xx present inside the vendor directory.

I don't have a lot of knowledge around HAL subsystem. I want to configure the board to detect the built-in camera rather than the external one.

Based on the link of the thread I mentioned above, does anyone know how should I proceed here?

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks,
