zador.blood.stained Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 There is no CSI support in mainline, it doesn't matter which CSI camera driver will you try to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Petrovic Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 So legacy is a choice? Can I get ov5640 work in legacy ubuntu on opi one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chwe Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 looks slightly different... but still true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanefu Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 FYI Xunlong finally has a official OV5460 camera... not that makes driver support any better. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/OPI-5MP-Camera-OV5640-Auto-zoom-with-wide-angle-lens-for-Orange-Pi-PC-Pi-One/1553371_32869355445.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.59c5603aG2nPmt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A OV5460 driver is upstream.. and there are people trying to bring the CSI up: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/linux-sunxi/GQC-cXOB1U4/EHBz2WXWAAAJ for sure not 'mature enough' to implement it into Armbian yet, but hey there's hope...

Sounds like ARM development summarized into 1 statement. I think this statement needs one more: 1 only possible with reverse engineering due to NDAs/lack of documentation. Well, as long as the people which're using those cameras aren't willing/able to fix it... We might add it to the 'known issues' and let's 'wait and see' if somebody wants to fix it.

maxim26 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I'm trying to launch a gc2035 camera on my 4.14.18-sunxi OrangePi PC, but i can't find gc2035 using modprobe There are lot of topics and FAQs about problem, but none of the solutions don't work for me yet. I will describe my attempts in a few hours, but i hope that anybody has an answer what should i do. Is it even possible on my version? What should i do to let them work?

If you want to use the camera you have to use legacy kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g40 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I think this is all out of date. I am running a 4.16 on FriendlyArm H3 and H5 boards which all have CSI enabled and working OV5640 hardware. These are the FA CAM500B models. A set of patches was posted to the V4L list some months back with a CSI driver and subsequent device tree mods. The CSI/OV drivers are enabled (and built-in) in the latest FA distros. Should be trivial to port to the Armbian set ups. FWIW my experience with the OPi camera was _terrible_. Apart from being limited to 2MP max, they never 'worked' at better than VGA and image quality was appalling. HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
