I am attempting to get the Leopard vga camera LBCMVGA working on a Beagleboard XM. From reading the posts it appears that the default u-boot camera environment variable is set to the 3M camera, so I changed this to lbcmvga. Now I get the following message on boot up:
[ 0.000000] Beagle cameraboard: registering i2c2 bus for lbcmvga
But I still have no /dev/video0 device.
Are there any other steps I need to take in order to access this camera?
Good point!
I have been experimenting with several kernel versions but the one that works (currently) with the LBCMVGA is 2.6.8 (default BBXM kernel).
Is that true what you said: Leopard cameras will simply never work with 3.x kernels? Can the driver be rebuilt? I wonder if it’s an i2c initialization issue?
A colleague at my company is working through some Aptina build instructions with the 3.1.2 kernel but having no luck so far.
Finally got a driver error and seven non-functional /dev/videos! That’s currently what we call progress.
