OpenIPC support or any IPC supported SBC

[Habib]

Dear Nordic Semiconductor Team,

We are very interested in your nRF7002DK development kit and are exploring its potential for use in an open-source IP camera project. Our goal is to leverage the OpenIPC framework for this project.

Our primary questions are:

 * Is the nRF7002DK currently supported by OpenIPC?

 * If direct OpenIPC support is not available, what would be the recommended approach or steps to integrate OpenIPC-based features onto the nRF7002DK? Specifically, we are interested in achieving the following functionalities:

   * 1080p video recording at 60 frames per second.

   * Still image capture.

   * Battery life of approximately 3.5 hours.

   * Saving recorded video and captured images to an SD card.

We understand that the nRF7002DK features an nRF5340 SoC as a host processor and is primarily designed as a Wi-Fi 6 companion IC. We would appreciate any insights or guidance you can provide on the feasibility of implementing these OpenIPC-related features on this platform.

Thank you for your time and assistance. We look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Habib Hussain, NIW

Hi Habib

I took a look at the OpenIPC and the supported boards there. It seems to me like they are targeting Linux mpu not mcus. We do have linux drivers for the nRF7002 that is experimental which you can find here

Is there any nordic sdk that can help us build the camera device with the forementioned required functionalities.

Hi

I don't think the SDK is the issue here, rather that the 7002dk is not a good fit for this application. I imagine the nRF7002 can work if it is paired with a more powerful device than the nRF5340. This is supported if the more power MCU runs zephyr, or you can look into using a linux mpu paried with the nRF7002
