Collabora announced today that mainline Linux now officially supports the Rockchip RK3588 system-on-chip's video capture and camera hardware. This development follows over five years of collaborative effort across the Open Source community. The addition integrates essential camera and video input capabilities directly into the mainline Linux kernel for the RK3588, a significant ARM SoC used in various embedded systems and single-board computers. This integration eliminates the need for out-of-tree patches, streamlining development and improving device compatibility for platforms leveraging the RK3588. Collabora stated, "After over five years of development and collaboration across the Open Source community, mainline Linux support for Rockchip RK3588's video capture hardware has finally landed." This advancement is crucial for developers and manufacturers seeking robust, upstream support for vision-based applications on RK3588-powered devices.
