ALINX AN5641 MIPI Monocular Camera Module User Manual

Part 1: AN5641 MIPI Camera Module Introduction

The AN5641 camera module adopts the American OmniVision (Howe) CMOS chip image sensor OV5640. Supports DVP and MIPI interfaces. On the AN5641 module, the MIPI interface is connected to the FPGA development board to realize image transmission.

Part 2: Supported FPGA Development Board

Not all ALINX FPGA development boards have reserved MIPI interfaces. Currently, only the following FPGA development boards support MIPI camera capture and display:

Part 3: Hardware Connection and Testing
The AN5641 module and the FPGA development board are connected through the FPC flexible flat cable. We have provided a 15PIN heterogeneous flexible flat cable. Because the FPC socket of the module is in upper contact, when inserting the FPC flexible cable, the exposed metal side of the cable needs to be facing up, and fasten it as shown in the figure below:

Then connect the other end to the FPGA development board. The picture below shows the connection of the AX7Z020 development board:
