[beagleboard] LBCM5M1 leopard imaging board not working on beagleboard xm

We are trying to use a LBCM5M1 leopard imaging board on a Beagleboard
xm.
To get Angstrom on the BB we took a precompiled uImage from
http://blog.galemin.com/2011/04/li-5m03-camera-on-beagleboard-xm/
MLO, uBoot.bin files and the root file system from
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
When the camera is attached, /dev/video0 doesn't appear. We made the
following change in the uEnv.txt file:
camera="lbcm5m1" but this doesn't work. We also installed the kernel
module for the mt9p031 driver from Angstrom repository, but still /dev/
video0 doesn't appear.
Please help us out. We are new to this and extremely frustrated!! We
would be grateful for any help!!

You also may have to use the latest U-Boot, it includes the I2C lines
intialisation pull-ups

Dear Willem,
Could you please suggest how to get the latest U-boot file? Will it be
available somewhere on the internet??

Dear Willem,
I followed the instructions given in the link and with the u-boot
obtained I gt the following message during boot:

timed out in waiting_for_bb : I2C STAT = 1000

what is this error and how do i fix this problem?

Is there any changes that we need to make in the hardware? like adding
a resistor or shorting 2 pins or the like??

No.

I used Angstrom 2.6.32 that the board was shipped with and the latest
U-Boot then installed the camera driver:
#opkg install kernel-module-mt9p031

At the U-Boot prompt:
setenv camera lbcm5m03

Has anyone successfully connected a OV9655 camera to the
BeagleBoard (or other OMAP3 system) and has a OV9655 driver
to share that works with the Angstrom 2.6.32-Kernel?

Many thanks,
Nikolaus

Dear Willem,

Dear All,
the camera is now working. The kernel used was actually in /boot on
the filesystem and not the uImage on the first partition of the
MicroSD card. So after we replaced the uImage with the precompiled
driver obtained from
http://blog.galemin.com/2011/04/li-5m03-camera-on-beagleboard-xm/
the driver got installed perfectly.
We are using mplayer to capture images and videos. It works
fine...just had to tweak the resolution parameters a bit to get proper
images.
Thanks for the help :slight_smile:

Hi all I wrote a small howto for the LI-LBCM3M1 integration but should
be very similar to the LI-5m0:
