Projects

Working on multimedia in Linux involves cross project disciplines to all of the components used. Ideas on Board works extensively with the relevant communities to make sure we work openly and upstream.

Ideas on Board specialises in upstream development with Linux, libcamera, GStreamer, the Yocto Project and PipeWire:

libcamera

We built the libcamera project from the ground up to solve the problems with growing complexity of managing camera based hardware throughout, Linux, particularly with MIPI-CSI2 connectivity and RAW Bayer sensors.

Our software stack runs on Intel, Rockchip, RaspberryPi, NXP, Amlogic, Renesas and Qualcomm platforms already and we’re always working to add more support.

A SoftISP implementation provides support for all other platforms or custom image processing tasks.

We support many sensors already, including a large range of from vendors including Sony, Omnivision, OnSemi, ST Microelectronics and ams-OSRAM.

Our goal is to make every camera work on every platform.
