I see in the lib/extras-buildpkgs there's fswebcam-gc2035 config but I see no way how to build the kernel with support for gc2035 ?

 

I built "Linux orangepione 4.10.11-sun8i #2 SMP Tue Apr 18 17:55:20 CEST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux" but it does not recognise gc2035 and there's no gc2035 module anywhere to be found

 

I have

./kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/g_webcam.ko
./kernel/drivers/media/usb/stkwebcam/stkwebcam.ko

but nothing wrt gc2035

 

I also found https://github.com/avafinger/gc2035.git

that's supposedly "better driver" for gc2035, but it's for 3.x kernel, don't see a way to get it into 4.10.11 kernel

 

anyone with idea how to proceed?

 

CSI interface is not supported in mainline kernel.

Ah good to know, far from important at this stage to get csi working. Thanks for the info!

Would be interesting to have it in future. Is there a "supported stuff matrix" for different kernel "lines" (as a complete noob with linux on arm the "mainline" is not really clear to me yet, any link with explanation on what is available, what to expect from what etc?)

For Allwinner/sunxi devices mainline status can be found here: https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrix

 

Difference between legacy 3.4.x and mainline 4.x for H3 devices is not stated in Armbian documentation because we don't provide official/supported mainline images for H3 devices yet.

thanks a million, that's what I was looking for
