intro

I bought an Iphone 3GS camera module as it is cheap, and I expected to be able to interface it with something, probably an FPGA.

pinout

Getting the pinout is not easy.

The connector has a central part with 12 pins on each side and a further 4 pins on the corners. Those four pins on the corners are numbered 25 through 28. The other pins are numbered 1,3,5,...-23 on one side and 2,4,6,...-24 on the other side.

So far I've managed to find:

1,2,7,8,10GND
3,4,5,6NC
9,11DATAP0, DATAN0
13,16,17GND
12VCC 3.0V
15VCC 1.8V ?
18CLK
19,21PCLKP, PCLKN
20SCL
22SDA
23,24GND
25,26,27,28GND

This makes me think: The pixel data is transferred serially. Configuration data is transferred using I2C.
