An IMX519 camera driver for the Radxa Cubie A7Z
Claude Code helped write a kernel driver and libcamera patches from scratch so the IMX519 camera works on the Radxa Cubie A7Z.

The full story
The Radxa Cubie A7Z had no support for the IMX519 16MP autofocus camera, so the maker had Claude Code build a driver with them from scratch, including reading schematics, writing kernel driver code, debugging kernel crashes and patching libcamera.
It supports all five sensor resolutions, exposure and gain, autofocus, hardware H.264 encoding and a virtual webcam. It is beta, tested on one board and one camera, and colour processing is still a bit slow for 1080p.
