libcamera workshop 2025 - WildCamera

[w.robertson at cairnwater.com]

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you very much!

I'm just back from carving nest holes in the tree crowns at a forest 
South of Basel for Garden Dormice (Eliomys quercinus) and for one of the 
WildCmaera field studies.

Would anyone be willing to help get libcamera working on a development 
board (e.g. the Debix Model A i.MX 8M Plus boards we're currently using 
for prototype development)? I'm able to build and boot mainline linux 
for the board using buildroot but we're not yet able yet to do this 
using Yocto or to get device tree or driver for an image sensor into the 
build.

Will
