Hi all,

I want to get into the development of the v4l driver for OV5645 camera. I want 
to work on features  like zoom and manual exposure time / gain control. 
And get our own camera module connected later on as well (mostly a hardware 
issue) 

The starting point for me is a dragonboard 410c (which I got already) and the 
Mezzanine MIPI Adapter board plus OV5645 Camera module (which I expect to get 
this week)

I will first - as soon as I get the camera - follow the set up CSI procedure on 
https://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/debian/16.09/ of 
course

Could somebody give me some hints what would be the best steps to get into a 
position to modify driver code.

I am new to the v4l driver development, but have some experience with driver 
development in Linux (although it got somehow rusty ;-) )
I usually like to start with modules, but I have seen the driver is statically 
linked. Any hints on that?

Is development usually done native or via cross compile? 
Heinz
