Developing a CIS Camera Interface for Embedded Systems

Recently, camera function is one of the most primary functions out of the multimedia capabilities in the small mobile terminals. But, it has been difficult for implementing embedded devices with low cost because of not supporting camera interface in many SoCs. Thus, this paper presents a method of supporting camera function with ease for embedded devices which has not camera interface. For this purpose, the interface is implemented for a CMOS image sensor. The method is also provided that CIS(CMOS Image Sensor) is supported in the embedded system by programming the device driver.
