Hi Steven, unluckly it give me an error:

gc2035: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout

.
Is it possible for you to upload the files in a zip (or rar or tar)?

The URL is http://phelum.net/temp/gc2035.tar.gz and it contains the gc2035 and include directories I uploaded yesterday.   If you want to compile the driver the include directory must exist beside the gc2035 directory.  This matches the directory structure in the kernel.  This include directory contains csi0 stuff not gc2035 stuff.  The include directory inside the gc2035 directory contains the driver specific files.

If you don't get anywhere here do you want me to upload my kernel and modules (including the gc2035 driver) ?  Code files only, not source due to size.

Cheers,
Steven

Hi Steven, i'm trying to make it as a sort of stand alone module
For the moment i created a Makefile with these lines

obj-m = gc2035.o
KVERSION = $(shell uname -r)
all:
        make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/kernel/drivers/media/video/sun4i_csi/device/ M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
        make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/kernel/drivers/media/video/sun4i_csi/device/ M=$(PWD) clean

but at the moment i got an error
If it will works, it should be the easy way to compile the drivers
Cheers

Is camera support now included in a Linux image somewhere, or should I go through the instructions above?

I don't know of any kernels with gc2035 support.  Android maybe ?  As well as making the driver I also had to modify sun4i_drv_csi because it dropped the wrong frames when the data sink was slower than the source.

I try to connect the csi camera gc2035 on OPi2 Raspbian orangepi 3.4.39

1. modprobe gc2035 vfe_v4l2
   
2. ls /dev/vide0
   
3. /etc/init.d/motion start

Copy code

We enter an http://IP_orange:8081 into the browser and we see the stream picture.

If in a command line to write:

1. mplayer -vo png -frames 3 tv://

Copy code

The *.png files aren't created, and mplayer writes:

1. MPlayer svn r34540 (Raspbian), built with gcc-4.6 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team
   
2. mplayer: could not connect to socket

I tried this command for USB webcam - works, creates *.png

You can prompt how to force to work as gc2035 with mplayer?

Hi, can anybody write here, step by step, how to setup orange pi to work with own camera module?

I have OrangePI-PC_Ubuntu_Vivid_Mate and I've plugged the camera gc2035  and I'm completly bloked.
- Firstly I'm wondering if exist any command to find out that the camera is properly connected and the PI-PC is detecting it (similar to fdisk or lsusb etc)
- I assume that @laboris has included the driver gc2035. don't you?
- How can I check it? (this distro come with the app smplayer)

hellf

if the camera is connected and modules loaded

1. ls /dev/video0

Copy code

will show

1. /dev/video0

Copy code

.
Loboris image includes all needed modules, use the camera link to load them.. up to 1600x1200 worked with fswebcam for me after running the kernel update script
for current armbian modules are also included, however only 640x480 and 1280x720 produce any usable output

Hi Steven

my camera is not yet arrived, i read thread and found cs2035.ko already present on ubuntu 15.04

1. find /lib -name "*2035*"
   
2. /lib/modules/3.4.39/kernel/drivers/media/video/sunxi-vfe/device/gc2035.ko
   

Copy code

So all i need is to install v4l2-utils?

Could you copy here output of for OPI Camera?

1. sudo v4l2-ctl --list-formats --all

Copy code

P.S.
This thread is about officeal camera for PC/Plus/One http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Orange-Pi-Open-source-IP-Camera-with-wide-angle-lens-Smart-Home-Control-Device-for-PC/1553371_32652476606.html?spm=2114.8147860.0.98.Lcc9WU ? Right?

Hi Vlad,

I don't have v4l2-ctl (or any v4l2 code files) on my OPi PC so I can't answer your question.  I can run the camera at 800x600 and 1600x1200.

Your kernel (3.4.39) is much older than mine (3.4.103) and if I remember correctly there are big changes in the video processing standards.  So I couldn't use the old driver with my newer kernel.  But if it works for you then it's better than an unofficial driver.

Cheers,
Steven
