Hello, to all OrangePI PC enthusiasts. 

Well I'm in the community of those who definitely underestimated the Orange of the PI, but let me share my burden :-) for the fun of it.

 

It started with the camera- gc2035 and vfe_v4l2 modules. Had to try a couple of images until I got it by luck I guess - after that I found out that every image I use is not capable of having a FTDI device connected to "ANY" USB Port (OK, you got me, I didn't try the microUSB and I won't). After that I tried no matter what I wanted to connect to  USB it was not even recognized.

 

Now I'm back in changing/swapping around Images until I found one that let me plug anything I want into the USB Ports and it worked (It was Ubuntu xenial5.25), but in exhange for that I could not ever get the camera working again. OK-> now I start compiling with the instructions from igors github page https://github.com/armbian/build and I couldn't compile a single one ???

 

Now I'm into the vagrant approach, still doing something while typing here, let's see.

 

My question here is to be precise and focused on the topic: 

Is there an image out there which has both? The Cam and the USB working together or is it bound to some exclusivity?

If yes where can I find it, or what do I have to do it to make it?

 

all the best 

Arminator

 

OK, now I got it all sorted out:

 

1.) Igors documentation on compilation through vagrant is flawless and works like a charm -> produced an image of Armbian for OrangePi PC which booted and recognized all USB Devices 3.4.113-sunxi8    O<-check OK

2.) I loaded gc2035 for the camera -> checked dmesg O<-check OK

3.) I loaded vfe_v4l2 to get video0 device -> checked dmesg:

4.) I tried to unload the vfe_v4l2 module with sudo modprobe -r vfe_v4l2 and catastrophic things happen :-|

What can I do that the camera will work? is there a way since if I use the image of OrangePi Community -> same Distro Jessie8 the USB devices will not work at all so is it not possible to marry both distributions to one functioning both devices?

Unfortunately I have not much kernel experience, but if somebody could tell what to do I can gain experience and will try to acomplish that.

 

all the best from the
