darktempler 0 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hi All, I would like to use the new RaspberryPI Camera ( IMX477 ) with armbian (with TinkerBoard S) and I was wondering if this is on the roadmap for development? If it's not I would like to attempt to submit a pull request, but I'm not really sure on how to pull the drivers into the armbian source. I can see the driver source here https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-5.4.y/drivers/media/i2c/imx477.c and the overlay source here https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-5.4.y/arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/imx477-overlay.dts but I'm not too sure how to pull them into armbian, is there any articles/ help documentation you could suggest that I could look at to understand how to pull these into armbian? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The fat "Documentation" button on top between Download and Subscriptions https://docs.armbian.com/ To get some things sorted out beforehand: Check which kernel sources the tinkerboard uses (hangle yourself from the board config to the source config). Then you will also know the patch folder where kernel patches are held and applied to the sources before building. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
invizko 0 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Hello friends. Is there anybody who had luck with that? I had trouble understanding how `.c` files fit into the picture, and how to integrate overlays... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tparys 21 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Does Armbian even have to package this? Consider packaging that driver via DKMS (https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kernel/Dev/DKMSPackaging), and installing the resulting .deb on your board. It should persist through kernel upgrades. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
