Reading that paper gives me more hope that we might eventually have a free/open source camera app that can replicate what Google and Huawei are now doing with their cameras. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the Librem 5 will have the kind of hardware capable of taking multiple photos in rapid succession to be able to merge them into one image. The i.MX 8M quad simply isn’t a powerful enough processor and we really don’t have any other option at this point if we want 100% free/open source software. The upcoming i.MX 8 mini will be a little better, but we really need NXP, SiFive or some other company to make a better SoC that can run on 100% FOSS.
