Product details

Overview

STEVAL-55G1MBI1 from STMicroelectronics is a hardware evaluation kit for the VD55G1 monochrome global-shutter image sensor, featuring native MIPI CSI-2 (1-lane) output, I²C control interface, 0.56 MP resolution (804 × 704), 2.16 µm pixel size, and FFC-22 connector for plug-and-play integration with embedded platforms such as Raspberry Pi or i.MX8-based systems.

For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-55G1MBI1 datasheet, STEVAL-55G1MBI1 pinout, STEVAL-55G1MBI1 application, or STEVAL-55G1MBI1 equivalent, this kit delivers immediate sensor evaluation on Linux-based embedded platforms or PC via ST's EVK Main board, with free drivers and GUI software available at st.com.

Technical Context

The kit implements the VD55G1 sensor in a ready-to-deploy mechanical and electrical configuration: it uses a Hirose FH12-24S-0.5SH(55) 22-pin FFC connector for MIPI CSI-2 and I²C routing, supports RAW8/RAW10 image data formats, and includes an M12 lens holder with AB013216-F default lens (F/1.6, 1.32 mm focal length, 74° H FOV).

It enables direct connection to host processors without signal conditioning or level-shifting, and its 30 × 35 × 8 mm sensor board dimension and 10 cm ribbon cable support compact integration into space-constrained vision modules while maintaining optical alignment integrity for global shutter operation.

FAQ

Does STEVAL-55G1MBI1 include the VD55G1 sensor?

Yes, the kit embeds the VD55G1 monochrome global-shutter image sensor directly on the sensor board. It is factory-mounted and electrically validated, with no user assembly required. The sensor operates at full specification: 804 × 704 resolution, 2.16 µm pixels, and MIPI CSI-2 output compliance.

Can STEVAL-55G1MBI1 be used standalone on a PC?

No-it requires connection to ST's EVK Main evaluation board (sold separately) to convert MIPI CSI-2 output into USB video class (UVC) stream for PC use. Once connected, the free ST-provided GUI software enables real-time image capture, exposure adjustment, and frame rate control.

What Linux platforms are supported?

Officially supported platforms include Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on i.MX8M Plus and STM32MP157-based boards. ST provides open-source kernel drivers and userspace utilities on st.com, with documented device tree bindings and build instructions for Yocto Project integration.

Is the default lens focusable or replaceable?

Yes-the AB013216-F lens is nonglued and manually focusable by rotation; it can also be fully removed and replaced with any M12 × 0.5 lens meeting minimum specs: ≥804 × 704 resolution support, ≤2.16 µm pixel size compatibility, and chief ray angle ≤30° at 2.3 mm diagonal.
