Pander Posted November 25, 2020 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?

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.
Solution Pander Posted November 25, 2020 Author Solution 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
Pander Posted February 4, 2021 Author 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.
Pander Posted February 17, 2021 Author 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?)
Werner Posted February 17, 2021 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
Pander Posted February 17, 2021 Author 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.
