Request: For Camera Overlay/Driver Support: TechNexion TEVM-AR0234 (Global Shutter)

Hi Particle Team and Community,

I am currently developing a bipedal robot named Spaz using the Particle Tachyon. Due to the active balancing and walking movements of the robot, I am experiencing significant "jello effect" and motion blur with standard rolling shutter cameras (OV5647).

I am looking to integrate the TechNexion TEVM-AR0234 camera module. This is a 2.3MP Global Shutter sensor (onsemi AR0234) that includes an onboard ISP (YUV422 output) and an onboard IMU (LSM6DSO16IS). It connects via a 22-pin MIPI CSI-2 adapter.

Technical Specs of the Module:

My Questions:

  1. Has anyone successfully created a Device Tree Overlay (.dtbo) for the TechNexion TEVS driver on the QCM6490/Tachyon platform?

  2. Since this module outputs YUV422 and handles ISP tasks internally, does it simplify the integration with the Qualcomm ISP pipeline, or do we still need a specific tuning file?

  3. What is the recommended target-path for a CCI camera node in the Tachyon overlays for Ubuntu 24.04?

I am happy to test any experimental overlays or provide logs if someone can point me toward the correct DTS structure for the Tachyon’s camera control interface (CCI).

Thanks heaps,

Marcus Gricks
