[v5,2/2] Documentation: Add camera sensor support table

25479 diff mbox series

Add a table with the list of camera sensors currently supported by
libcamera. Similar to the ISP feature matrix, this too is a living
document, and will be updated as support for more sensors is added.

I'm tempted to squeeze in something about 'any camera supported by the
linux kernel here' Perhaps:

"""
The Camera Sensor support for libcamera continually grows and can
easily be extended to support any sensor supported by the Linux Kernel
and custom devices or configurations.

Although some integration work may be required, all supported cameras
can be used on all supported platforms with corresponding physical
hardware connections correctly managed.
"""

But in any form you choose - the table is what's helpful here:

Being pedantic - we should drop the Mira220 until the patches land for
it. But it definitely works in libcamera :-D
