Camera Playstation 5 Hack

maxpowerr

I want to ask the Element14 community for help. I'm trying to study the PS5 camera device in order to use it as a cheap solution for computer vision. There is already a way to upload firmware to the camera via USB on the Internet, but this method is not very convenient, since it requires constantly uploading firmware when connecting the camera to USB and not all devices work with it. I would like to find a more universal solution.

What needs to be found out:
1. What controller is on the camera, and is it possible to flash it somehow? It seems to be OV580 with 32-bit RISC CPU. But I can't find a datasheet for this chip.

2. What elements are used on the board?

If anyone is interested in this camera, join the discussion.

  • Possibly you could add a USB mux and microcontroller between the camera and PC, where the microcontroller acts as a USB host and sends the firmware to the camera, before switching the mux over so the PC has USB access to the camera?

    Not a particularly elegant solution, but it's very easily reversible, and should let you use the camera from any device without having to worry about flashing the OV580.
