Orange Pi 5-Series Camera Adapter (CSI to Raspberry Pi 5-Style 22-Pin)
This adapter board remaps the Orange Pi 5-series 30-pin, 1.8V CSI mezzanine connector to a Raspberry Pi 5-style 22-pin camera FPC connector. It includes onboard I2C level shifting between the Orange Pi's 1.8V bus and the 3.3V bus used by Raspberry Pi camera modules. This is a pinout-remap and voltage-translation adapter — it is not a camera module, and it is not a simple 15-to-22 pin ribbon cable.
What's included
- 1x adapter board (I2C level shifter, CSI-to-22-pin remap)
- 1x Orange Pi-side FPC cable (30-pin, connects the board to your Orange Pi)

15-pin Raspberry Pi camera modules need their own 15-to-22 pin cable (sold separately by the camera manufacturer) in addition to this adapter.
Setup notes
- Orientation warning: contacts on the camera ribbon must face UP into the camera module's connector. Reversed orientation is the most common cause of a "camera not detected" issue.
- OS/driver caveat: camera support depends on your Orange Pi OS image and kernel/driver version. We've tested with Joshua Riek's Ubuntu builds and Armbian. Other images (including stock manufacturer images) may need a different config or may not support a given sensor at all — check your OS's camera driver documentation before buying if you're unsure.
- You will need your own standard 22-pin Raspberry Pi camera ribbon cable to go from this adapter to your camera module.
What's not included
- No camera module
- No 22-pin Raspberry Pi camera ribbon cable
- No 15-to-22 pin cable (only needed for 15-pin camera modules)
- No Orange Pi board
