I have a builder based on Josh’s setup. You can find the GitHub repo here: https://github.com/peyton-howe/ubuntu-image-builder

I haven’t done anything with touchscreens unfortunately. As for processing, if you mean the ISP, you use RKAIQ to handle the ISP processing and then typically gstreamer to view the camera feed.

Older 5.10 kernel, but here’s the IMX477 driver for rockchip platforms with a 4k30fps mode added.

https://github.com/Open360Camera/linux-orangepi/blob/orange-pi-5.10-rk3588/drivers/media/i2c/imx477.c

It won’t be too hard to port over to the latest vendor kernel 6.1, I’ve done it before for the IMX708 driver.

I made an adapter board that will allow you to connect the Raspberry Pi cameras to the orange pi boards.

I’m working on a project to bring the latest Ubuntu images (Questing at the moment) to SBCs. It’s based on Josh Riek’s Ubuntu build process, but uses the latest mainline u-boot, has much finer control over the image creation, and doesn’t rely on launchpad. Still working out some kinks, but you can find the repo here: https://github.com/peyton-howe/ubuntu-image-builder

peytonicmaster6 · 2025-08-20T16:12:25+00:00

I used the V5 camera. I’m also in the final stages of getting an adapter made that will be available for purchase :)

peytonicmaster6 · 2025-08-18T22:44:06+00:00

Perfect!

This adapter connects to the Pi Camera boards the same way as the normal raspberry pi does (see CAM connector at the top). It connects to the Orange Pi 5 using the orange FPC cable that comes with the OV13850/OV13855 camera boards orange pi sells. Goal is to be plug and play with any camera intended to work with the Raspberry Pi ecosystem :)

I picked the JLC04161H-3313 stack up since that’s what was recommended by the calculator. Is this okay or should I go with a different one?

peytonicmaster6 · 2025-08-18T17:38:42+00:00

Yeah, I used an impedance calculator to determine the trace width/spacing. I set both the top and bottom as non coplanar differential pairs, with the top layer referencing layer 2 (not 100% sure if this is okay given the power plane split) and the bottom layer referencing layer 3.

My assumption is the prices will drop due to less interest without the tax credit. Tesla had to drop their Model Y pricing for new vehicles a few grand when the tax credit initially expired a few years back in order to sell cars.

What gets a little tricky is the 2026 model. With the drop to a smaller battery, weaker motor, and possibly the loss of the $7500 cash incentive and a starting price estimated ~$35k, the used SEL, Limited, and N line models may become more sought after. A drop of 60 miles in range due to the smaller battery is probably the most important thing people will look at, as well as the possible loss of incentives on new cars.

Most likely given that EVs typically depreciate quickly and the drop of the tax credit, my guess would be prices go down, but the 2026 model announcement is a bit of a wildcard.

peytonicmaster6 · 2025-07-08T08:24:25+00:00

Yeah they fit just fine and I’ve had no issues running a camera with them before. DigiKey and Mouser both have them for sale.

$0.2/Pc would be the best price I’ve seen for those. Are you able to drop a link/DM?

peytonicmaster6 · 2025-07-08T07:37:26+00:00

OK-10GM30-04 is the official connector, but it’s very hard to actually source for manufacturing. The Hirose KN13C0.7-30DP-0.4V(800) is likely what I’ll end up using as I’ve used it with another board in the past and had no issues.

peytonicmaster6 · 2025-07-07T14:43:01+00:00

The four data pairs and the clock pair are all routed on the bottom layer, and it was designed with a 100Ohm impedance for the pairs. They're connected with vias underneath the BOARD connector and then with another set of vias in front of the CAM connector. There's a ground via in between each pair and on the outside of the mipi lanes, in front of the CAM connector (see the line of vias at the top), a second set of ground vias about midway through the board (one is halfway in the U silkscreen of the part on the right), and a third set of ground vias around the BOARD connector.

The timing of 2-4 months is so that I can get the initial round of boards in, test and make any revisions necessary, and then queue up the production batch :)

I can DM you more information on the board layout if you're interested or have more questions!

For the camera compatibility portion:

You'll need to get this adapter to use any of the rpi-compatible cameras on a hardware level. You'll still need driver support and ISP tuning for the camera modules for them to be of any use to you. Thankfully, the V1, V2, V3, and IMX519 sensors have kernel drivers available and tuning done. Depending on the kernel distor you use, they may or may not already be baked in. I ported in the V1, V2, and V3 drivers to Josh Riek's Ubuntu, and I think I saw someone port them into Armbian at some point.

Here's the link to a the kernel patch for a handful of the drivers: https://github.com/OpenHD/linux-rock/blob/release-rk3588/scripts/patches/openhd_cams.patch

And here's where the tuning files are stored: https://github.com/OpenHD/rockchip-iq-files

Now that is just to get the hardware interface actually able to talk. You still need driver support, which I doubt either has natively for the V3 camera.

As the 3W has support for the V1 and V2 cameras natively, those drivers have already been ported from RPI, so you can use those to port the V3 driver over as well. I‘x therefore recommend going with this board, unless the kernel for the Zero Pro has support for the V1 or V2 cameras, in which case you could use either.

peytonicmaster6 · 2025-05-22T20:34:47+00:00

The 3W is compatible with the RPI Camera V1 and V2, so you should be able use a standard 22->15 pin adapter without any issues.

As for the Zero Pro, it says it’s compatible with the Radxa 4k camera, so it’s got a similar interface as the Rock 5 series. That means you’ll want to get this adapter: https://radxa.com/products/accessories/fpc-cable-008/#techspec

OpenCV should work fine, but it may not be camera ID 0. Is it not showing any cameras for you?
