IPU6 camera support status update
Hans de Goede has posted anupdate about his work to support IPU6 cameras on Fedora andsubmitting fixes upstream.
The initial IPU6 camera support landed in Fedora 41 only works on alimited set of laptops. The reason for this is that with MIPI camerasevery different sensor and glue-chip like IO-expanders needs to besupported separately.
I have been working on making the camera work on more laptopmodels. After receiving and sending many emails and blog post commentsabout this I have started filing Fedora bugzilla issues on a persensor and/or laptop-model basis to be able to properly keep track ofall the work.
LWN covered the lackof IPU6 drivers in 2022.
