Hello,
I got a new Dell XPS laptop with the "amazing" [1] Intel MIPI IPU6
webcam. There are upstream repos with drivers [2] and user-space stuff
and Ubuntu [3] and Arch [4] have user repositories with everything
required packaged. I found nothing available for Fedora so before I go
and spend a couple nights trying to make things work on Fedora I want to
make sure that, by any chance, someone is not already working on this to
avoid duplicate efforts. And I have to add a disclaimer right away: I
have no idea when I will find enough time to do the work.
I also believe there's binary only code required ATM to support those
cameras so as it stands it's not possible to support them directly in
Fedora. I know there are people working on it with vendors to come up
with both a short term and longer term solutions.
