I have a Raspberry Pi 8MP Camera and I want to connect it to an Arduino board and save the image/video in a SD card.
The main reason I want to interface it with arduino is that ultimately I will replace arduino with my custom board.
Is it possible? I've searched a lot but not sure how to handle data coming from the camera or is it even possible to handle such large data on the arduino?
If not, is there any other alternative? The thing is that finally I need to have a small custom board to fetch data from camera and store it in SD card. What type of microcontroller would be able to do that? Would I need external ram chips if I decide to go with custom board.
PaulS:
Consider these:What are you going to do with 8 megabytes of data on an Arduino with 2 kilobytes of memory?
How are you going to replicate the CSI interface?
I'm not very familiar with CSI interface but what I understand is it basically takes commands via I2C protocol and sends data via 8 bit serial lines. The I2C part can be handled via Arduino and the serial data can be received bit by bit and transferred to SD card.
This is my understanding. I'm not sure if it'll work out or whether it is even possible. I'm just looking for some resources related to fetching data via CSI interface using simple components rather than development boards like Raspberry PI
