Hey everyone! ![]()
Support for MIPI webcams on Alder Lake, Alder Lake-N, Raptor Lake, and Meteor Lake Chromebooks is coming soon!
Specifically, the following devices have been tested:
-
Acer Spin CP714 (Kano - ADL/RPL)
-
HP Dragonfly Elite (Redrix - ADL)
-
Asus CX5403 (Screebo - MTL)
If youโre using one of these devices or any other Chromebook with a MIPI webcam, weโd love your help in testing!
The update is almost ready, but your feedback will help us get it fully stable. ![]()

What We Need:
If youโre interested in helping out, please reply with your board name (e.g., Acer Spin CP714, HP Dragonfly Elite, etc.). It would also be super helpful if you could attach the output of C:\Program Files\crosec\cbmem.exe -c to help us identify and fix any issues.
Important:
This MIPI webcam support is not for USB webcamsโif your Chromebook has a USB webcam, it should already be working as expected! USB webcams are already functional and do not require this update. ![]()
Why Test?
Your testing will directly help improve the webcam experience for all users on these devices, and we canโt do it without you! ![]()
Some webcams may require tuning profiles to optimize their performance. Weโve already got tuning for the following:
-
OV2740 and HI556 on ADL/ADL-N/RPL
-
OV08X40 on MTL
However, we still need testing and tuning for other webcams, including:
-
OV8856
-
OV5675
-
OVTIDB10 / OV13B10 on ADL/RPL/ADL-N
If you have one of these webcam models, your feedback will be especially valuable! ![]()
