  1. Well thank you very much, I appreciate it.
  2. Yes, the camera is working perfectly in the latest TinkerOS. I've written a Python tool making use of the gstreamer plugin to record for a certain amount of time and the video is good. There was a major bug in the previous version but it was fixed. However, TinkerOS doesn't provide support for WiFi USB dongles and I really need that, since the Tinkerboard only has 2.4ghz. The environment I'm using it in has a lot of other 2.4ghz WiFi access points and the 5GHZ band has only a few. Armbian does have support for some USB WiFi dongles but then the camera doesn't work. So at the moment I'm kinda stuck. One OS has a working camera, the other OS has a working USB WiFi. If I could, I would combine these two worlds :-)
  3. Thank you very much for your reply. I was indeed typing my reply and when posted, saw yours. Too bad it is being ignored. If that's the case, I'll have to search for another SBC with h264 encoding. Or get USB WiFi working for the Tinkerboard. But that's for a different forum.
  4. What I forgot to mention was that I am using a Raspberry cam (OV chip). The camera is not recognized when searching dmesg. There is also not a /dev/video0 device present. There is this thread: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/4657-how-do-i-use-the-camera-on-tinkerboard/. I don't have the technical skills to understand kernel configuration and try to compile a new kernel. There is also https://forum.armbian.com/topic/6645-tinkerboard-with-isp1-driver-doesnt-boot-camera-support/ with a comment that it's kernel config issues. https://forum.armbian.com/profile/5623-chwe/content/page/4/?type=forums_topic_post mentions somewhere that the RK3399 development is a mess. What I would like to know, before spending another 80 or 90 bucks on one or two SBC's is if someone knows if (or how) the CSI camera can get to work with Armbian on the mentioned boards. Armbian monitor link: http://ix.io/1Pl3 There is a Tinkerboard script I've run, that installs additional software: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/7262-rk3288-media-script-tinkerboard/ But I'm missing the /dev/video device.
  5. Currently I have a Tinkerboard S and due to lack of USB WiFi support (Tinkerboard only has 2.4ghz, but 5ghz is necessary), I need another OS or SBC. Support for CSI camera is also required. I've installed Armbian on TinkerBoard and read a couple of threads on this forum. It looks like there is no CSI support for the Tinkerboard and there is no CSI camera support coming (couldn't get the camera to work on Armbian). The Rockchip on the Tinkerboard has the advantage of H264 encoding and very useful. There are other SBC boards with dual band and Rockchip (different Rockchip than the Tinkerboard), like the RockPi or the RockPro, but I can't really find out if the CSI camera will work on these SBC's woth Armbian. Can someone tell me if an Armbian version works with a Rockchip SBC and a functional CSI camera?
