Hello, 

 

I need your expert help to resolve an issue on my newly purchased orange pi 5b. 

I was able to install armbian xfce desktop os on emmc but am unable to correctly run a purchased csi mipi camera module (OV13850).

Attached are some screen grabs, I do see rk3588-ov13850-c1 appear in overlays row of armbianEnv.txt upon toggling the selection in the armbian-config.

Cheese application shows message "There was an error playing video from the webcam" upon opening the application (i also installed flatpak cheese as per some comment in a forum to test). 

I also tested connecting camera on rk3588-ov13850-c3 but face the same issue. 

Is there anything I am missing here? Appreciate your feedback, thank you.

 

Update:

I ended up using the Ubuntu image from orange pi website and the camera works fine! 

It may be that the armbian linux image may need some file update for the camera to work correctly on op5b. 

This issue is now closed.

Here you can make a donation. Thank you. That "Ubuntu" was in 99.99% developed by Armbian and other open source projects. Orangepi is HW dealer. They only care that hw features works. They never pushed fixes to common code. We have to spent our private time if we want to port / fix their HW bugs & features to better common code which is the only one maintained and which is in your interest to run it. Software you are so happy to use is on this level.

We are maintaining software together and this issue was not closed. Do you really believe unmaintained promo software have only one problem? 😁

There is a new release out tomorrow. Every download page has daily assembled images with latest updates and fixes, where you should check if this problem was resolved. Did you check that before?
