Please describe your issue below:

I am working on a project using Khadas Edge-V where I need to use an IMX214 MIPI camera for barcode/scanning purposes.

The board boots successfully, Ethernet and SSH work correctly, but the IMX214 MIPI camera does not work under Ubuntu.

It looks like the Ubuntu image does not include IMX214 support in the kernel and/or the required device tree configuration for the MIPI CSI camera pipeline.

Could you please clarify:

  1. Is the IMX214 MIPI camera officially supported on Khadas Edge-V under Ubuntu/Linux?

  2. If yes, which exact Ubuntu image should I use?

  3. Is there a downloadable eMMC image with IMX214 support that can be flashed through USB/RKDevTool?

  4. If no ready image exists, could you provide the required kernel configuration, device tree patch, or Fenix build instructions for enabling IMX214 on Edge-V?

  5. Is IMX214 supported only under Android on Edge-V?

My project requires camera access from a Linux userspace application, preferably through V4L2 as /dev/video*
