Pander Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 For PINE A64 with Ubuntu Focal (stable and nightly) with a 5 MP camera, the documentation states to add camera_type=s5k4ec to /boot/armbianEnv.txt and reboot. After rebooting, the kernel module is not available. modinfo s5k4ec returns: modinfo: ERROR: Module s5k4ec not found. The file /boot/config-5.9.8-sunxi64 shows that only camera sensors OV2640 and MT9V011 are available and CONFIG_VIDEO_S5K4ECGX is not set. Is this an issue with the build? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/kernel/linux-sunxi64-current.config Since the module is not set in the config and also not there the build is okay. Maybe it got removed some when in the future when trying to get configs more upstream-like. Fell free to provide a PR to enable this module. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Pander Posted November 25, 2020 Author Solution Share Posted November 25, 2020 Thanks. I wasn't implying there was something wrong with the build process itself, but the module that was disabled in the config. Here is the PR https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/2381 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pander Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 @Werner can you see what went wrong with https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/2381 Did I forget something? The module is not available in 21.02.1 Focal. Thanks for helping out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pander Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Seems the cause has been found. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pander Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Should the documentation at https://docs.armbian.com/board_details/pine64/ for camera_type refer to s5k4ecgx instead of s5k4ec? (Just curios, where does the gx come from?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Seems like this mention is four years old. No idea if changes are needed: https://github.com/armbian/documentation/commit/57fd4300cc37ab3ab818b2c0f6556645eaf15dcf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pander Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Who has a PINE64 with the camera module that was shipped with the crowdfunding version and has it working on Armbian? If you know someone, please ask them to reply here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would post that on Pine Forums, I expect you would get a much better chance of catching the right person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
