Install camera to rpi4

[Viktor]

Here is rpi boot contents:

number@number:/boot$ ls
config-5.11.0-1008-raspi  dtb-5.11.0-1008-raspi  grub

I tried installing veye327 to rpiOs.

I have 5.10.36 firmware. veye drivers don't have this version.

I tried build from source, but failed.
Copied built zImage and veye327.dtbo to rpi and got load kernel modules failed on startup.

Updated: i did modules_install and veye327 works on rpiOs now.

Can you help build kernel for Ubuntu Desktop Rpi?

[Viktor]

I did it.

crosscompile kinux image veye327 driver for Ubuntu Desktop 21.04 Rpi4

Add to /etc/modules

i2c-dev

i2c bus 10,11 for sensor control

@viktor
Great! Thank you for trying and sharing.

[Viktor]

[fire]

@viktor
Thanks very much.
I wonder how did you set camera parameters, I found that the cs_mipi_i2c.sh not working.

[Viktor]

@fire Veye327 i2c fully works.

[fire]

@viktor
Can you use the original pi commands (e.g. raspistill raspivid), instead of using gst-launch?

[Viktor]

@fire Yes, raspivid and raspistill works too on Ubuntu.
