Nanopi Neo Air and CAM500B

Armbianmonitor:

Hi,

 

I'm want to use my old Nanopi Neo Air with CAM500B as wifi webcam. I flashed the latest armbian bionic image, installed v4l-utils and tried to list the cameras properties with `v4l2-compliance` and `v4l2-ctl --all` but the tools always crash and I can't kill them. `dmesg` shows a NULL pointer exception:

Is the camera broken or is this a driver problem?

I think the camera driver was not loaded. Maybe v4l2_g_parm_cap crashed while trying to  get /dev/video1 capabilities (cedrus).

Try to disable cedrus and review OV5640 parms to be able to load the driver.

Thanks. I unloaded cedrus but the problem is still present. Indeed, the OV5640 driver isn't loaded. I expected the camera will work plug&play because the /dev/video0 device is present. But the device is also there without a connected camera. Looks like the driver isn't part of the current kernel (5.4.35-sunxi) because modprobe lists only "ov2680   ov2685   ov5645   ov5647   ov5675   ov5695   ov7251   ov772x   ov7740   ov8856   ov9640"?

Maybe you should update your kernel to 5.4.43 and/or run armbian-config:

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/kernel/linux-sunxi-current.config#L4362

 

I can't see any node /dev/video0 created from your dmesg info. Perhaps you have loaded a driver manually that created the node?

Camera is not Plug&Play , the node /dev/videoX should be created only if a device is probed with success.

 

reboot and check : ls /dev/video*

I updated to kernel 5.4.43 but the module was still not available. A fresh install of the latest bionic image with kernel 5.4.43 is working. Camera driver loads at startup and I can take videos (at least at 640x480) with GStreamer :) Many thanks!
