DigY Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hi, I am trying to install and run the dedicated camera on OP Lite with Legacy 3.4.113 as written here: http://www.cnx-software.com/2015/09/26/how-to-use-orange-pi-camera-in-linux-with-motion/ Unfortunately /dev/video0 is not present (checked by "ls /dev/video*"). Any one got the same issue? What could be the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolai Asparuhov Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Could you give some more information, run: lsusb dmesg | grep usb sudo apt-get install v4l-utils, after that run v4l2-ctl --all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgZero Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Could you give some more information, run: lsusb dmesg | grep usb sudo apt-get install v4l-utils, after that run v4l2-ctl --all ... /dev/video0 is not present ... v4l2-ctl won't help as there is no video4linux device IMHO: A problem in the vfe_v4l2 module. I created a topic with a similar problem (OS Armbian5.25), the solution isn't found yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigY Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 I have downgraded (via cmd apt-get install linux-image-sun8i=5.20)to 3.4.112 as suggested by some ppl suggested root@orangepilite:~# uname -aLinux orangepilite 3.4.112-sun8i #14 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 14 20:29:31 CEST 2016 Now /dev/video0 is present however, altough camera is connected I' getting sensor error: root@orangepilite:~# dmesg | grep GC2035[ 44.418232] [CSI_ERR][GC2035]sensor_read err at sensor_detect![ 44.418241] [CSI_ERR][GC2035]chip found is not an target chip.

DigY Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Maybe it's not a fix. but solved my problem: 1. download https://dl.armbian.com/orangepilite/archive/Armbian_5.20_Orangepilite_Debian_jessie_3.4.112.7z 2. add WiFI connection: wpa_passphrase "ssid" "wirelesskey" >/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf 3. make autconnect on start-up: - nano /etc/rc.local - add line before "exit 0": sudo wpa_supplicant -B -D nl80211 -i wlan0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf - add line before "exit 0": sudo dhclient wlan0 4. reboot 5. after login run: apt-get update 6. reboot 7. after login install drivers: - sudo modprobe gc2035 - sudo modprobe vfe_v4l2 8. instal your camera program, ie: sudo apt-get install fswebcam 9. grab the pic, ie: fswebcam -r 1280x720 --no-banner image.jpg Enjoy!

The camera ceased to work from the Armbian 5.25 version. Now I will try the 5.26 version collected from source codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgZero Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 In version 5.26 same problem.

DigY Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 UPDATE: autoconnect unfortunattely does not work as I thought it will. So either you need to type the lines everytime after boot or use a network manager: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=25472& in terms of camera: I found that although images/photos are taken, in fact they are blank (or actually solid black)... Solution of the black image is the file format. the command can capture a good image: fswebcam -r 1600x1200 -p YUV420P --jpeg 100 --save image.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
