stk1160 identified but not as /dev/video0

[peter12]

Hello, 

my syntek is on Orangepi Lite successfully identified as 05e1:0408 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd STK1160 Video Capture Device but I don't see it in /dev (usually it displays as /dev/video0 on Raspberry)

 

Any idea how can I play video from Syntek in vlc? 

Many thanks

It's not part of the kernel but you can add it:

USB VID/PID suggest that this device is compatible with the Easycap driver, so I enabled it in the kernel config: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/commit/c336b6e7034933584f269f874c49ccdebfd4573e

I saw it is for pcduino. Does the same steps work with orangepi lite please?

Great. But what should I do to enable it in my orangepi lite please?

 

P.S. I am newbie with my orangepi lite so please excuse my unprofessional questions.

Go to download page and check how to switch to nighty / auto built kernel. It will work in the morning after apt-get update / upgrade.

... or just install this kernel: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5385968/linux-image-sun8i_5.24_armhf.deb

Alternatively you may wait for the new release (in ~1-1.5 months)

thank you to both of you!

I tried to install kernel like this:

sudo dpkg -i linux-image-sun8i_5.24_armhf.deb

 

it produced these warnings but installed successfully:

dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/lib/modules/3.4.112-sun8i/kernel/net/wireless': Directory not empty

dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/lib/modules/3.4.112-sun8i/kernel/net': Directory not empty

dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/lib/modules/3.4.112-sun8i/kernel': Directory not empty

 

Then I run sudo shutdown -r now.

Now my orangepi hdmi output is black, pi didn't boot, no LED is shining on orangepi. Any idea what went wrong please?
