[[https://launchpad.net/~oem-solutions-group/+archive/ubuntu/intel-ipu6|ppa:oem-solutions-group/intel-ipu6]] is a development PPA for Intel MIPI camera.

Please don't use it in your daily work because it may often break the MIPI camera during the development cycle.

= All components are required to support Intel MIPI camera =

 * The correct MIPI camera port settings in UEFI BIOS
  * It is not controlled by OS but is required for OS.
 * ipu6 and ivsc kernel modules, and the related kernel firmwares
 * The userspace stack
  * ipu6-camera-bins
  * ipu6-camera-hal
  * gst-plugins-icamera
 * v4l2loopback workaround
  * v4l2loopback kernel module
  * v4l2-relayd

== Ubuntu LTS 20.04 ==

 ''It only supports Intel MIPI camera on some Ubuntu certified Tiger Lake and Alder Lake platforms via [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperMembershipBoard/KnowledgeBase#Canonical_OEM_metapackage_packageset|OEM metapackages]].''

 * ipu6 and ivsc kernel modules are included in linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-*-generic.
 * The related kernel firmwares are included in linux-firmware.
 * The userspace stack, i.e. ipu6-camera-bins, ipu6-camera-hal, gst-plugins-icamera, is still in OEM archives.
 * v4l2-relayd is in OEM archives.
 * v4l2loopback kernel module is included in linux-modules-5.15.0-*-generic.

== Ubuntu LTS 22.04 ==

 ''It supports Intel MIPI camera on some Ubuntu certified Tiger Lake, Alder Lake and Meteor Lake platforms via [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperMembershipBoard/KnowledgeBase#Canonical_OEM_metapackage_packageset|OEM metapackages]].''

 * ipu6 and ivsc kernel modules are provided by linux-modules-ipu6-6.2.0-*-generic and linux-modules-ivsc-6.2.0-*-generic which are depended on by linux-modules-ipu6-generic-hwe-22.04 and linux-modules-ivsc-generic-hwe-22.04.
 * The related kernel firmwares are included in linux-firmware.
 * The userspace stack, i.e. ipu6-camera-bins, ipu6-camera-hal, gst-plugins-icamera, is still in OEM archives.
 * v4l2-relayd is in Ubuntu archives.
 * v4l2loopback kernel module is included in linux-modules-6.2.0-*-generic.

== Known Issues ==

 * [Bug:1978757] Cheese can't playback the preview on Intel IPU6 camera platform

== Test the Intel MIPI camera ==

 * Use the latest Mozilla Firefox  or Google Chrome to visit [[https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html|gUM Test Page]]
 * Execute this command.
  {{{$ sudo gst-launch-1.0 icamerasrc ! autovideosink}}}

== Troubleshooting ==

 * Remove the usage of ppa:oem-solutions-group/intel-ipu6
  {{{$ sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:oem-solutions-group/intel-ipu6}}}
 * Remove all MIPI camera userspace components and OEM metapackages
  {{{$ sudo apt autopurge oem-*-meta libipu* libcamhal*}}}

== Supported Sensors ==
