is the most sensitive* camera add-on ever produced for the Beagleboard XM 
(and I think also for the whole Beagle family of boards). Oriented towards 
computer vision, CCTV etc. applications.
We launched it 2 days ago.
The authors are some crazy physicists, engineers and mathematicians from 
bas.bg with Visensi <http://visensi.org/> start-up. It comes directly with 
Angstrom mSD, drivers and example for OpenCV use installed. It must work 
immediately when you open the box.
(providing you put the mSD and the camera module in the right holes and in 
the right direction).
The important things are:
1. It starts, works immediately (no more asking this group what to do to 
install the driver etc.) and you do your program job without caring about 
hardware stuff.
2. Really exceptional sensitivity - we managed to follow and characterize 
objects in midnight video stream (providing at least half moon 
illumination) at 3-4 fps, which is enough for CCTV for example. I never saw 
a Beagleboard XM compatible board with such capability*. 
3. Very configurable sensor - we are just beginning to use its most 
advanced features.
4. You do not need capes and other additional stuff to put it working.
5. One developed and use a Media Controller driver (kernel 3.4), which 
allows to employ the power of the Image capture processor of the DM3730 
co-processor which has many interesting functions - black level 
calibration, histogram and man others. With older drivers (as those, used 
in the 2.6 kernels) this is simply not possible.

For now we are selling it at eBay in small series. Just search for 
Vifff-024 or ViSensi or "camera for Beagleboard" at eBay.com 
<http://ebay.com/> or see for links on our <http://visensi.org/> site. 

**Please, if somebody doubts it - see the Aptina specifications here 
<http://www.aptina.com/products/image_sensors/> , compare with other camera 
boards and write in the group if you find me wrong. I would like to know 
it!*
