CSI camera - tad - January-25th-2021

Dear Armin,

In the following site, I found the description below:
>The CSI camera connector is available on the PCB but not populated on the PCBA.

https://www.netiot.com/netpi/industrial-raspberry-pi-3/faq-netpi/how-compatible-is-netpi-with-a-raspberry-pi-3/

I mounted (soldered) a CSI camera connector on netPI CORE 3.
I am now ordering a camera to connect it to the connector for a test use.
I will then use a Raspbian OS to test the camera.

I would appreciate it if you have any comments for the above test.
Best regards,

Well when it came to netPI 5 years ago, we dealt with the manufacturer AVID which of the original components from a standard Raspberry PI 3B we want to have also for netPI. Even it is hard to imagine that a local camera could be connected we decided to reserve space for the camera connector.

The connetor has never ever tested by anyone. Also it is not tested during PCBA production. I would just call it "for test purposes" only. Hilscher gives no guarantee that it works and is operating. My personal expectation is that it will work fine.

Thx
