20:46 Dom__ cbxbiker61: hi
20:46 cbxbiker61 hi
20:47 Dom__ yesterday i tried the driver again
20:48 Dom__ the problem was, that the probe function was never be called, because the kernel doesn't know, which bus-address is for this driver
20:49 cbxbiker61 so you have it recognizing the camera?
20:50 Dom__ here is the docu about initiating an i2c device: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices
20:51 Dom__ i think this is missing. i used method 4 for testing, and the probe function was called
20:51 Dom__ but returned with dev_err(&client->dev, "OV5647: missing platform data!\n");
20:51 Dom__ in the probe function
20:57 Dom__ but now, i have some questions about the functionality of the driver. for all i know is that the camera would be controlled by i2c, but the images/video stream will be transfered by mipi/csi2. is this part missing completely in this driver? if the image/video stream is arrived in the soc, how will this stream be converted to jpeg for example? and how do we get this in the gpu?
20:57 Dom__ i hope you understand my bad english :)
20:58 cbxbiker61 when it works you should be able to get to it with v4l2 /dev/video0
20:59 Dom__ to the stream?
20:59 cbxbiker61 right
20:59 Dom__ how does v4l2 know, which address of the csi2 interface should be used?
21:00 Dom__ does v4l2 has information about the csi2/mipi interface?
21:01 Dom__ i'm asking, because i found another driver for the ov5647 in the web, which handles some conversions and the mipi interface
21:02 cbxbiker61 does it work?
21:03 Dom__ don't know, because i didn't get it compiling
21:04 cbxbiker61 is it that android driver? that would be android specific
21:05 Dom__ no, mk_ in this channel give me some version, which only works with the 3.10 kernel (i believe it was this version)
21:05 cbxbiker61 yeah, that's the rub
21:06 Dom__ i query you to give you some infos
