      The camera-server code is public, which uses the HAL3 interface. The actual drivers though are closed per our agreement with Qualcomm

        Just curious, where are the .so files for the different camera driver versions stored? are they available in http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/ ?

          /usr/lib/camera

          Note that there are some sensors listed not necessarily 'enabled' as we're working on handling multi-cam configuration. There are some requirements for sensors that are at the device tree level currently, making it tricky to "plug in wherever".

          Our default configs that are enabled have pre-fix like com.qti.sensormodule.mX where X is the camera slot (0-5, eg connectors J6-J8, some graphics here as this is a tricky topic!)

          This is an area we're constantly working in, and our goal is to make it easy to "plug in wherever" and work! 😉

            Thanks! Just one last question; are those drivers installed at build or grabbed by the package manager?
