libcamera: 0.6.0 -> 0.7.0

2026-05-12T08:07:01+00:00

- Drop merged pacth 0001-libcamera-Do-not-assume-libc-with-clang.patch. - The v4l2 option "true" is deprecated and we should use "enabled". - There is a new option "rpi-awb-nn", disabled for now, which requires TensorFlow Lite. - The GPU acceleration in the software ISP "SoftISP" for delivering better performance and it becomes enabled when we have OpenGL. This release brings 158 commits with substantial development on the SoftISP components. This brings in GPU acceleration, allowing us to get higher throughput for cameras using this pipeline. Further development to improve the image quality is ongoing now that we can perform more processing in realtime. The simple pipeline handler now supports exposing the Raw streams directly allowing us to enable the SoftISP by default without removing access to the camera formats. Kernel headers have been updated to v6.18, supporting the new V4L2 ISP kernel interface which allows us to continue improvements to hardware ISP pipelines as we add new features. Logging has been improved to better detect when to enable or disable color output and can be controlled through the environment variable LIBCAMERA_LOG_COLOR. A new control is added for LensShadingCorrectionEnable to allow runtime control over the LSC components where supported. The gstreamer pipeline now has raw support added to the libcamerasrc stream-role property allowing raw streams to be configured and accessed. An exciting new AWB algorithm using Neural Networks, has been added to the Raspberry Pi IPA following extensive development and training performed by the Raspberry Pi Camera Team. And finally, the Documentation now includes a support matrix which will help identify the current support and enablement for platforms and sensors.

libcamera: change python config

2026-05-12T08:07:00+00:00

The python3 can be removed from PACKAGECONFIG depends because the python3native is already inherited. Also rename the pycamera to python as this is more generic and can be used to enable everything related to python. Signed-off-by: Jose Quaresma Signed-off-by: Khem Raj

libcamera: add new package for lc-compliance

2026-05-12T08:07:00+00:00

lc-compliance is a libcamera compliance testing tool designed to ensure that cameras and their drivers function correctly within the software stack, acting as a functional system test to validate real-world use cases. This tool helps detect regressions and verifies that the libcamera API is being used correctly. Signed-off-by: Jose Quaresma Signed-off-by: Khem Raj

libcamera: add configs pipelines for testing

2026-05-12T08:07:00+00:00

vimc: Is a driver that emulates complex video hardware, and is useful for testing libcamera without needing access to a physical camera. We would like to add support to the libcamera vimc pipeline handler for multiple simultaneous streams, to ease testing of such mechanism. This also requires adding multistream support to the vimc driver in the Linux kernel. virtual: Is a specialized handler designed to create software-based, virtual camera devices. It allows for testing, debugging, and simulating camera pipelines without needing physical hardware, often producing test patterns (e.g., all green frames) via qcam. This enables developers to emulate camera sensors and Image Signal Processors (ISPs) within the libcamera Signed-off-by: Jose Quaresma Signed-off-by: Khem Raj
