Jacopo Mondi has posted the first version of the backend ISP driver for the Raspberry Pi5 - Looking forward to the Raspberry Pi5 running mainline supported drivers!
Bryan O'Donoghue and and Hans de Goede will be presenting "A fully open source stack for MIPI cameras" at FOSDEM on Saturday 3rd February at 13:30 in UD2.120 (Chavanne) as part of the Embedded Mobile and Automotive Devroom.
Several members of the libcamera core team and community members are looking forward to attending FOSDEM in just two weeks!
Look out for us on campus (in distinctive blue hoodies), or if you want to get more involved, there will be a libcamera workshop on Friday 2nd February. Places are limited, so ask for more details if you would like to join us.
The SoftISP is making progress, allowing libcamera to operate on platforms where the ISP (Image Signal Processor) is either unusable, or not available.
Here we have Hans comparing the Intel IPU6 running the out-of-kernel stack against the libcamera SoftISP. The colours are off, as the white balance isn't handled yet - and there is no denoise.

The camera team at @Raspberry_Pi talk about the internals of how image sensors work on their platform, and what's new in #Pi5. Watch and find out about Temporal Denoise, HDR and just how many more pixels the Pi5 can process with dual 4 lane MIPI inputs.
The Raspberry Pi 5 has an entirely new image processing pipeline with improved image quality, and of course makes use of libcamera to expose this new functionality.
This release brings in lots of updates to core, and pipeline support, and crucially takes the next step towards better integration for applications by moving to a new structure for soname updates. Now that we have ABI checks in place the soname will only be updated when we detect an ABI change to help applications continue to link against libcamera for longer.
