Hi,

 

as many did, I've bought a (CSI) OV5647 camera from AliExpress and am struggling to get it to work. Been at it for a week now and am at a loss. So i'm trying to get some clarification via this thread on how to get this camera to work.

 

What I've done so far is to compile a mainline kernel (Ubuntu Bionic) and edited the kernel config file to include sun6i_csi and ov5647 driver. Build finishes successfully and am able to boot and load the drivers 

 

Unfortunately the OV5647 isn't recognized and /dev/video0 isn't created. 

 

Second build included a userpatch I've found online which i applied to no avail to the kernel 

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/743268/

 

So my question is, what am i missing here ? Do i need an overlay, or patch the kernel/driver in some way ?

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards.

Wim

Hi,

Please do not bump.  Did you try the search function in the right hand corner for:  OV5647

The developers are complete. ignore questions related to the camera))))

Hi Wim,

Any luck with this camera ? Looks like many many others facing this problem, but no one has seem to have shared a resolution. Orange pi with ov5647 ?

Thanks
