I'm confused, isn't the interface a MIPI / CSI and therefore anyone can roll their own camera and drivers?
They stuck an authentication chip in their camera and apparently check for it in their (closed source) GPU firmware that talks to the CSI interface and image acquisition hardware.
Can you not use another interface? Or is CSI the best possible way to capture images to the Pi?
I've had a discussion with third party camera vendor for RaspberryPi- the auth chip is required for the camera with Sony sensor (the v2). Third parties can get the chip supplied by Pi foundation (obviously, at a cost).
I saw some words that said it was unlocking a tuning config or something that was proprietary, at a cost to the foundation. Does the Sony silicon function *at all* without it - as in, with a basic config, perhaps reduced performance? Or does it not init at all?
And, I'm pretty sure it hangs on the I2C bus which is used for sensor configuration.
