[opensuse-arm] Support for RPi camera in openSUSE for Rasberry Pi?
Is there any support for the RPi camera in the openSUSE software for a Raspberry Pi? I tried to find sources, but did not succeed. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

I managed to get the camera working with some version of the rasperry usreland package from a "random" repository. I don't have access to the device now so I could take a look, it had "gfx" in it's name (raspberrypi-gfx?) and any update wanted to remove the package so I guess it was something really old and not supported. The distro is based on 13.1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

raspberrypi-gfx has been replaced by raspberrypi-userland package. Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

What do you need? raspberrypi-userland package provide some RPi tools such as: * raspistill * raspivid * raspividyuv * raspiyuv Otherwise, standard tool whould work too.

Just a guess into the blue, but maybe the missing part is a device tree entry for the camera. Or just a random Config.txt option. Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Just ssh -X into the machine, that should give you X forwarding :).
Also "raspistill -o
" gives the same message as before; the new installed packages did not change that. The man page of xawtv tells about a remote display, but I have no idea how to set that up. Something like making a ssh connection using -X in the command?

Hi Freek,
mmal: Failed to create camera component mmal: main: Failed to create camera component mmal: Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updates
did you raise gpu memory to at least 128MB as advertised in http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/14229/how-can-i-enable-the-ca...
The error message is: mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not find component 'vc.ril.camera' mmal: Failed to create camera component mmal: main: Failed to create camera component mmal: Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updates
you can only use the proprietary videocore capturing (e.g. raspistill) or v4l, but not both. you also have to reboot completely when switching.
I found an answer on a search for the first line: if you compiled against glibc it won't work, you will need to include static libs.
My guess is that you need to switch to the raspberrypi-userland mesa libraries, but I haven't tried.
I also still have a problem in getting /dev/video0. I needed to use modprobe -i bcm2835_v4l2 to get this device. I do have "install bcm2835-v4l2 /bin/true" in /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf
yeah, the module needs to be *blacklisted* (not loaded) for raspistill. Greetings, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

How to proceed using raspistill?
I think the best way forward would be to just ignore the fact that raspistill even exists and try to find a tool that does what you need using the v4l interface :). I found a list of tools with a quick google search: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Webcam-HOWTO/framegrabbers.html however, none of these seem to be part of openSUSE / packman and built for armv7. Looking at the second hit on google instead though, you come across this link: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/98210/capture-raw-image-from-v4l-web... which points at a tool called "fswebcam" which is part of the normal openSUSE distribution.
