Question

I'm trying to find the drivers for the VD56G3 but i can't seem to find them.  The above posts say to go to this website

* https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32n6-ai.html#get-software

But when i go there its mostly about AI and the one thing about image capture goes to this which is just a binary blob?

* https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/x-cube-n6-camera-capture

I do see this library

* https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32N6-GettingStarted-ImageClassification/tree/main/Middlewares/Camera_Middleware

If that is the driver how to i enable it in the IOC file?  I don't see it in the middleware and software packs. 

Secondary question 

* Is there a XThread version of this library.  Most of my app is XThread based.

Hi @Brenden_PLUS ,

You are correct the drivers are located there STM32N6-GettingStarted-ImageClassification/Middlewares/Camera_Middleware/sensors/vd6g at main · STMicroelectronics/STM32N6-GettingStarted-ImageClassification · GitHub.

This is the only version of the driver that we have for now and the middleware they are part of is not yet integrated inside cubeMx environment. You will have to add it manually to you project for now.

Best regards.

Hi Jean @Jean_Poire and Brendan @Brenden_PLUS ,

Thank you very much - we're also planning to use the 1.5 Mp VD66GY, VD56G3, VD16GZ or the planned 5 Mp VD5943 or VD1943 with the STM32N6x7 so it would be great to know when the drivers and middleware are integrated with STM32CubeMX and STM32CubeIDE :)
