I think that the problem with every processor is to manage also the Image Signal Processor, which is the entry port of the video stream toward the main processor memory space. With the new processor (compatible with Cortex A-15 but which one? - omap5 or ?) one must redo the drivers for the ISP and also change the boaromap3beagle.c file in the Linux kernel with appropriate settings for the camera. I hope also that the camera port will be also pin to pin compatible with the cameras for Beagleboard XM. So, let me resume: 1. Beagle Bone can have camera attached, but not through the natural ISP of the processor. 2. BBB - I must see. 3. BB-XM is for now the ideal choice from the Beagle family of boards to attach a camera. 4. BB-A15 is in the future and we do not know how much time will take to write the appropriate drivers for the ISP of the unknown processor. For the BB-XM (DM3730 is OMAP3 architecture), before the drivers became really well functioning it took 2,5 years of development. The right persons to ask about future camera compatibility of this are J. Kridner or L. Pinchart. Because the software support for the ISP of the processor is decisive for the appearance of working camera boards for it. So for now, we stay with BB-XM, which works, it has enough processor power + DSP and is very stable. Cheers, Hristo
