Question/Issue:
Trying to follow the Tria Vision AI Kit Deployment, get to running the Edge Impulse tool on the Vision AI Kit, but it doesn’t recognise any webcams. I have a MIPI Camera plugged into MIPI interface 1, how do I get it to recognise this / is Edge Impulse only setup to work with USB Webcams? If so is there a way I can force it to use the MIPI camera?

Additional Information:
The OS run has a demo application that uses the MIPI Camera, but Edge Impulse doesn’t recognise it. I suspect Edge Impulse is only looking for USB cameras? Is there a way I can force it to look for the MIPI Input?
