Hi, I'm using both ptxdist and buildroot for creating images for mini2440 and everything works well. Recently I tried to connect cam130 to mini2440 but failed to get it working with newer kernel. Only working kernel is 2.6.32 from friendlyarm. This kernel is no longer supported by ptxdist nor buildroot and AFAIK there are no drivers in mainline kernel for cam130. Is anybody using cam130 with ptxdist/buildroot or with newer kernel (3.x)? Can anybody point me out how to get old kernel 2.6.32-friendlyarm kernel working with ptxdist/buildroot or where to find patches for current kernel? Thanks in advance
Cam130 with newer kernel?
You should ask Wingz. He is currently working on such a driver for a recent 3.x kernel: http://wingston.workshopindia.com/wingz/
Can't Vladimir Fonov's driver suit your need? I don't know how to integrate it in the kernel not to have to use insmod but should be possible. I don't know if this driver can work with 3.x kernel, I had tested it with 2.6 http://code.google.com/p/s3c2440camera/
I am working on this driver only. It doesn't work with the new kernel, there is some confusion over the SCCB and I2C protocol. The driver doesn't recognize the camera as in doesnt read the manufacturer / vendor code properly. I tried it with Qtopia too - it doesnt work (?). It does work only with the test2440 code in the mini2440 DVD.. so im comparing the code with Vladimir's and making the necessary changes.
Ok, thanks for your explanation. So we just have to wait you manage to make it work. I'm sorry to be too newbie to help you in that task. I wondered why this driver was not in the mainline kernel, now I know why...
