I am trying to use the CMOS 5M-Pixel Camera without success.
The CAM500A is not detected on M1 or it does not power on.

Here is the current Fex section in use:
[csi0]

Please, what is missing info? On M1 should be dev0 or dev1?

Sorry the M1 is not ready to work with CAM500A yet. It now only works with CAM202A under Debian

Could you please give more details on what is not ready? The software side? The Hardware side? Both?

If it is the software side only, can you give the correct fex section, so i can try just powering the cam and see what is going on with the camera? I have some doubts about pin 23 and pin 24.

And will it be possible to use CAM500A on M1 (using today state of the camera extension hardware)?

Hello,
The interface of Pin 23 is data signals, and the Pin 24 is GND.
M1's kernel source don't support OV5640 driver now .
