Sony IMX586 – V4L2 Driver for Rockchip RK35xx

Linux kernel V4L2 sub-device driver for the Sony IMX586 image sensor on Rockchip RK35xx SoCs (RK356x / RK3588) over 4‑lane MIPI‑CSI2.

Features

• 4‑lane CSI‑2 D‑PHY (≤ 2.5 Gbps/lane)
• V4L2 subdev + media controller
• Mode table: 4000 × 3000 @ 30 fps (QBC)
• Regulator / GPIO / clock integration
• libcamera‑compatible

Hardware

Signal	Value
I²C addr	0x1a
XCLK	24 MHz (or 37.125 MHz)
RESET	board‑specific GPIO
Data‑lanes	4

Device‑tree

Add imx586-rk35xx.dtsi to your board DT and wire the remote-endpoint to the chosen MIPI controller:

#include "imx586-rk35xx.dtsi"
&mipi_dphy0_in {
      remote-endpoint = <&imx586_out>;
};

Adjust I²C bus, GPIO, and clock as required.

Build & install

./setup.sh

DKMS builds the module and installs it for the running kernel.

Load manually or reboot:

sudo modprobe imx586

Test

media-ctl -p
libcamera-hello --list-cameras

TODO

• Register tables for 4K60 / 1080p120
• Add exposure / gain controls
• Optionally integrate AF VCM
