Camera Compatibility

HVS - Raze includes an integrated OV9782 sensor. HeliOS uses the on-device driver and libcamera pipeline to expose capture modes and controls.

OV9782 (Integrated Sensor)

• Active array: 1280 x 800 (native pixel array: 1296 x 816 with dummy border).
• MIPI CSI-2: 2 data lanes, 24 MHz input clock, 400 MHz link frequency.
• Raw formats: RAW10 and RAW8 (driver supports both).
• Pixel size: 3.0 um x 3.0 um.

Notes

• Some modules may report an OV9281 chip ID even when wired as OV9782; the driver accepts this.
• For low-level behavior (controls, link frequency, timings), refer to the OV9782 kernel driver in this repo:
  • configs/buildroot/linux/ov9782/drivers/media/i2c/ov9782.c

External USB Cameras

In addition to the integrated OV9782 sensor, HVS - Raze can use external USB cameras.

• In general, any USB camera that works via v4l2 or libcamera on Linux will work on-device (this includes most USB cameras).
• If you need more USB ports, you can plug a USB hub into:
  • USB-A (recommended, since it is USB 3.0)
  • The USB-C port on the left side of the device (opposite the Ethernet port)

Notes:

• The USB-C port near the Ethernet port is a power input and runs in device mode. It will not enumerate USB peripherals.

USB power budgeting matters. See Power and Ports for USB 5V bus limits.
