Linux_6.1.0 Missing

[juanmf]

Read here that Raspberry pi 4B should support it out of the box, after a few tweaks. but I get no camera detected

strangely enough I get some devices (not video0) listed.

$ ls /dev/video*
/dev/video10  /dev/video11  /dev/video12  /dev/video13  /dev/video14  /dev/video15  /dev/video16  /dev/video18  /dev/video19  /dev/video20  /dev/video21  /dev/video22  /dev/video23  /dev/video31

the parameters in config files the installer script wanted to add I have added manually already.

thanks!

I've built the driver using CAM-OV9281RAW-V2/inno_ov9281_driver_source_code, but I don't have /dev/video0 too

I'm using rpi3 b+ with linux 6.1.21

I can even see current operation mode after running sudo make setmode9

$ cat /sys/module/inno_mipi_ov9281/parameters/sensor_mode 
9

I can also see some issues in dmesg:

I've also recompiled v4l2_capture_y8 to have aarch64 version, but it doesn't work because there is no /dev/video0

I've tried all remaining /dev/video* devices, it doesn't work also, strerr says Inappropriate ioctl for device

I was unable to use ./autoinstall_driver.sh, it gives me an error:

hi，
please follow attach guide for driver compiling if you use innomaker driver.
We do not support precompiler for kernel above 5.15, we provide source code instead .

Another way, you can user raspebrry pi os driver by dtoverlay=ov9281 to enable, then you can use libcamera-hello -t 0 to preview.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I had to downgrade to a supported kernel. The suggested overlay on kernel 6.1 didn't work for me.
Great camera otherwise but the setup time is tough.
