Camera module with lens to interface with PicoZed

dej1

Does anyone have a recommendation for a camera module (including lens) that can be made to quickly interface with PicoZed?  I need the PicoZed to retrieve the video data and place it into a UDP packet for decoding at a remote location.  Other than the desire for a sub $100 camera/lens cost and an industrial temperature range, I really just want camera video to stream to the PicoZed in some common format that the PicoZed can insert into outgoing UDP.

    It's a waste of that processor if you're running bare metal. In any case, if you don't wish to use USB, you could use any cheap camera, for instance this one is really not that hard to interface, since it has 0.1" header pins: https://thepihut.com/products/ov9655-camera-board and is simple enough that it could be interfaced with a microcontroller, let alone a Zynq board. There will be dozens of examples online and simple microcontroller example code for that sort of part.

    It might be more difficult to find an industrial temperature range product for sub-$100, but that's the sort of camera that will be cheap and easy to interface, the resolution is configurable to meet your processing capability, and you could directly dump the raw data into UDP packets.
