I am considering making a custom camera which will utilize an android operating system and a doner camera sensor (likely from a Sony a7) that will be powered by a doner smart phone
basically, I want to modify my Sony Xperia 5 iv (SD 8gen 1) to have a much better sensor
My current plan is to replace the ultrawide sensor already in the phone with the new sensor trough the MIPI channels and create a new set of drivers to use the new sensor
the other plan I'm considering which i think is much simpler would be to use a FPGA (GW5A?) to make a new camera which will feed to trough phone trough usb but this is not really that good of a plan since i want it to be more integrated
i feel i have significantly overlooked something in the main plan i think i may need a translation layer
is there any better solutions any one can suggest
any pointers would be loved
also is this pretty much impossible due to the amount that sony would have made the sensor proprietary and that Qualcomm would make it impossible to create drivers for the sensor
