Reference boards with DCMI and/or camera modules

Reference boards with DCMI and/or camera modules

Many STM32 reference boards are available. Most of them embed the DCMI, and some of them have an onboard camera module. The board selection depends on the application and the hardware resources. The table below summarizes the DCMI, the camera modules, and the memories availability across various STM32 boards.

1 Possible cameras to be connected: module CN01302H1045-C (CMOS sensor OV9655, 1.3 megapixels) and module CN020VAH2554-C (CMOS sensor OV2640, 2 megapixels)
2 N/A means not available. The application must use the desired camera module compatible with the DCMI interface.
3 The camera module can be connected to the DCMI through the GPIO pins.
4 The camera module daughterboard MB1066 is connected.
5 The camera module daughterboard MB1183 is connected.
6 The camera module can be connected to the DCMI through an FFC (flexible flat cable): the STM32F4DIS-CAM can be connected directly.
7 The camera module can be connected with caution before powering the Discovery board.
8 The camera module daughter board MB1379 is connected.
