Design & Development
Videos & Training
This video explains how to configure and validate dual-camera operation on the RZ/V2N Evaluation Kit using two MIPI CSI-2 camera modules. The tutorial introduces the hardware architecture, camera interfaces, and Linux media pipeline structure, including the AR0234 image sensors, CSI-2 receivers, CRU capture units, and Media Controller framework. It demonstrates camera enumeration, driver verification, pipeline configuration, raw frame capture, and validation of simultaneous full-frame-rate acquisition from both cameras. The video also shows how to display both camera streams side-by-side using GStreamer and HDMI output, providing a practical foundation for multi-camera embedded vision applications.
