STMicroelectronics STEVAL-66GYMAI VD66GY S-Board MIPI CSI-2 Kit

STMicroelectronics STEVAL-66GYMAI VD66GY S-Board MIPI CSI-2 Kit is a comprehensive, versatile hardware kit for evaluating and integrating the VD66GY image sensor. The kit contains all the necessary hardware, from electronics to optics, to perform a thorough product evaluation or to incorporate the product into the rest of the system instantly. The kit includes a sensor board embedding a VD66GY image sensor with an FFC output connector, an M12 lens holder, a default non-glued lens, and a ribbon cable. Integration onto embedded processing platforms is instantaneous thanks to the FFC connector and cable, which offer plug-and-play connection to platforms. Compatible Linux drivers are free to download on st.com, providing seamless software integration.

With a well-thought-out architecture, the VD66GY S-Board offers maximum flexibility for customizing user setups. The non-glued lens embedded in the kit allows users to focus it to specified needs or remove it to use a different lens. Equipped with an M12 lens holder, the kit can be customized to user applications with a broad range of M12 or smaller off-the-shelf lenses. The standard FFC connector allows connecting cables of various lengths or pinouts to adapt setups.

The STMicroelectronics VD66GY S-Board can also perform sensor evaluation on a PC. To turn it into a USB solution for PC-based evaluation, the board needs to be connected to the generic EVK Main hardware from ST. A complimentary evaluation software GUI for PCs is available for free download on st.com.
