Camera Validation Status

Camera setup details pending

The IMX8MM Yocto 5.0 (Scarthgap) 2026Q1 Release release is listed in the release notes. Camera setup commands for this release are not yet confirmed on hardware, so this guide does not include final camera test steps yet.

The common setup sections above are derived from existing board documentation and release metadata. Before completing the camera command sections, capture and verify the following logs on the target board:

media-ctl -p topology after booting with the TEVS camera attached to CSI1, and CSI2 if that connector is also expected to be supported
dmesg -t | grep tevs camera initialization output, including the actual device node, camera firmware version, and product string
v4l2-ctl --list-device video and media node mapping, especially the capture node that corresponds to the TEVS camera
The exact U-Boot overlay setting required for TEVS on this release and board combination
Working gst-launch-1.0 pipeline, including the correct capture device node, pixel format, and any required converter element
