Recommended camera add-on for nRF54LM20-DK

[ramkumarkoppu]

Hi,

I have got nRF54LM20-DK with the nRF7002-EBII add-on. I would like to know is there any recommended camera add-on for this hardware to develop vision based AI solutions using Axon NPU. camera with supported examples would be better.

Wr0ng chip class. The NRF chips don't have enough RAM to store a single uncompressed image. You wanted something with a lot more RAM and much faster CPU performance.

The processors in mobile phones or in raspberry pi sound like a good starting point for camera stuff.

Hi,

There isn't a specific camera add-on which we recommend. However, you can check the following page: GitHub - NordicPlayground/nrf52-ble-image-transfer-demo · GitHub
This is a demo which shows how to use nrf52 with a Arducam. Note that this is for nRF5 SDK so it won't be transferable directly to nRF54LM20 but you can use this conceptually. 

Let me know if you have any further questions. 

Best Regards,

Samruddhi

I am surprised to see that there are no reference designs provided for using cameras with the Axon NPU for inference on nRF54L MCUs. Is the software support not yet ready for the Axon NPU?

Hi,

Unfortunately, we don't have reference designs for this.

 ramkumarkoppu The software is ready but there is no out-of-the-box sample. We are currently working on a vision sample for LM20B that will be in the sdk-edge-ai-addon. The sample will use the ArduCAM.
