+# camera_example
+
+libcamera viewfinder (XRGB8888) -> libjpeg-turbo -> TCP. One client at a time.
+
+Wire format: `[uint32 BE jpeg_size][jpeg_bytes]` repeating.
+
+Knobs are constants at the top of `camera.cpp` (fps, quality, AF mode, lens
+position, port, resolution).
+
+## Build on the Pi
+
+    apt install g++ pkg-config libcamera-dev libevent-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev
+    make
+
+## Cross-build (x86 -> armv6l) on a Nix host
+
+    nix build
+
+The resulting binary links against `/nix/store`, so it only runs on a Pi that
+has those libs available (i.e. nix installed). For a vanilla Pi OS target,
+use the Makefile on the device, or `./deploy.sh user@host` to rsync+build.
+
+## Receive
+
+Any TCP client that reads the framed JPEGs. Quick check:
+
+    nc <pi-ip> 5000 | ffplay -f mjpeg -
