Hi,

Iam trying to get image from Android camera app.

Normally it opens but there was no image.

I follow instructions at

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-GingerBread-2.3.4-DevKit-2.1_PortingGuides

Now camera application has stopped unexpectedly

Here is logcat;

Hi,

1. It failed because, it is unable to open device

"E/V4L2Camera( 997): Failed to open subdev"

2. Could post log for below command after boot

$ls -l /dev/v4*

3. Which camera sensor are you using ?

BR,

My camera sensor is D-max

0 Vaibhav Hiremath over 13 years ago in reply to Batuhan Gundogdu

TI__Expert 8180 points

Hi,

Can you help me to understand -

- How is your D-Max sensor sensor interfaced to OMAP/AM37x?

- Is it parallel sensor OR USB?

- What is the framework used in your D-max camera driver?

- Is it based on Media-controller OR plain simple V4L2 driver?

- Probably share the boot log here

Thanks,

Vaibhav

0 Batuhan Gundogdu over 13 years ago in reply to Vaibhav Hiremath

My camera sensor is USB.

And I got image when I connect it to PC.

Idont have any driver file for it.I only follow instructions on link that I share.

I used file that in kernel mt9v113.c

0 Vaibhav Hiremath over 13 years ago in reply to Batuhan Gundogdu

TI__Expert 8180 points

Ok. Then you are completely on wrong direction altogether. The whole v4l-subdev* story is built around media-controller framework which is not applicable in your use-case.

In your use-case, when you interface USB camera, after enumeration, the new /dev/videoX device node will get created and you should be using this new device node for streaming.

Can you please dump,

# ls -l /dev/video*

# Search for string "video4linux" in /sys/ directory. And dump all the entries inside this directory. I am not in front of board, so not able to give exact command here, sorry for that.

Thanks,

Vaibhav

TI__Expert 4390 points

Hi,

1. Provide the inputs what vaibhav has asked. It is very much important to analyze the issue further.

2. As you have mentioned that you are using USB camera, I would recommend to use attached files ( taken from previous android devkit release). It should work for you.

I wrote dumpsys and dump state and copy the logs.I couldnt find video4linux string in that 388 pages.

Shall I copy them to driver folder part?

0 Satish Patel over 13 years ago in reply to Batuhan Gundogdu

TI__Expert 4390 points

Hi Batuhan,

1. From the logs, it is seen that, capture device is detected.

<6>Linux video capture dnterface: v2.00

<6>usb 1-2.5: Product: USB 2.0 Image Capture Controller

2. Next step is to find out, device not entry for the same. Kindly do 'ls -l /dev/video*" , if entry has created or not. Reply back with output of this command.

3. Also if possible, check sysfs entry for this device and find out major and minor number. If video node (as mentioned above) has not been created then we need to create that manually

0 Satish Patel over 13 years ago in reply to Batuhan Gundogdu

TI__Expert 4390 points

Hi Batuhan,

1. Kindly check /sys/class/video4linux/videoxx entry

kindly check all the entry to find out which one is belongs to camera that you have connected.

$cd /sys/class/video4linux/videox

$cat name

2. Once you indentify the same, use HAL that I have posted previously.

Copy the file at <android-src>/hardware/ti/omap3/camera

edit CameraHardware.cpp and change entry

#define VIDEO_DEVICE "/dev/video0" to

#define VIDEO_DEVICE "/dev/videox" - replace x with correct node that you will find using step#1.

rebuilt HAL and try with newly generated libraries.

BR,

Satish solved our problem.

Additional to his posts here,we gave permission to device with

chmod 777 /dev/videoX

now camera is working like charm.

Hello!

I'm working on a Beagleboard-xm and Android 4.0.3, I want to use an USB camera Logitech.

How can I enable the camera?, Do I have to install the drivers for Logitech or it is not neccesary?, I can compile the kernel, but I don't know what to modify.

Can you give me some information please?

Thanks for your help.
