Title: Sharp Camera Ce-ag06
Post by: grog on December 21, 2004, 04:00:17 pm

Hi all. I've gone through the posts I could find including this (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=9281&hl=camera),  but I can't get my camera working under OZ 3.5.2. The only sharp-camera-support ipk I can find is for collie not poodle & won't  install & it doesn't seem that OZ's upgrade feed even has the file anymore.

Any help is much appreciated. thks

Try http://www.vanille.de/temp/sharp-camera-su...x-r4_poodle.ipk (http://www.vanille.de/temp/sharp-camera-support_2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-r4_poodle.ipk)

NIFTY! My camera works now. And I like the opie-camera app better than the one that came with the sharp ROM.

Thanks Mickeyl

I cannot get that to  install.   Here's what I get:

All I can offer is that I d/l'd the package & installed locally & it worked. HTH

grog - I tried d/l'ing the ipk to my Z and then using aqpkg to install instead of from the shell prompt and I get the error 'Cannot find the package share-camera-support' and the install fails.  I'm baffeled.  Are you using the Henges ROM version of 3.5.2 or OE's 3.5.2 ROM?  That could be the difference.

Thx
Bill

I found the sharp-camera-support  ipk in the openzaurus feed for 3.51/upgrades.  It loaded ok and I the camera works.  Now a new problem.  I'm getting lockups when ejecting the camera and can only hard reboot.  On to the next battle....

FWIW I'm using the OZ ROM 3.5.2. I'm glad that you've gotten over one hurdle. But I'm not getting any lockups, so 'fraid I'm not any help with that. seeyah

grog - I'm confused but happy.  After trying the OE ROM and the opie-camera app seg-faulting on me I tried the Henges ROM again and now it recognizes the camera on insertion and opie-camera works like a champ.  All without me doing anything.  Not sure what's different but I'm happy.

any hope of that for a 6000l? it seems to be about the last bit of hardware I have that isn't going under opie... I tried the shapr-camera from the ealrier 3.5.2 feed/kernel..ut apparently there was a problem compiling that and it installs but won't work. any hope of kernel modules returning at all while I'm at it?

Someone post me the camera module from a tosa and I'll bitbake you a package.

will send when I get home.... of course... I need to learn to do that myself.

er... are we assuming it is included in the sharp camera ipk? or .... where? you have the kernel sources already, so I'll rule that out. Or do you mean reload sharprom (I'm back on opie) and copy the module from the zaurus?  while oj the subject, though it probably should be posted elsewhere, hw hard would it be to get this working w/ gphoto (on gpe or e?)

opie camera works substantially better than the sharp camera software on my 6k now. Thanks

Post by: Mickeyl on January 06, 2005, 07:00:12 am

Cool! Thanks for the confirmation, I never got around to testing it there. I will resume work on it when I have some time (*cough*). Any particular features you are missing?

Title: Sharp Camera Ce-ag06

As far as I can tell, it already does more than the sharp package did.

edit :Off for a sip account and a test of vid conferencing on kphone. very very cool

Don't mean to open old wounds, but it seems I'm back at square one again. I had to reinstall OZ & now when trying to reinstall the camera support I get an error:

Code: [Select]

sharp-camera-support is not in the feed. they're @ vanille.de/temp. Download the proper package for your system and ipkg install it. Restart pcmcia and insert the card.

I did d/l the package from your fine temp directory originally. Just for the heck of it I just re-downloaded it again & tried to install it, same error. The only thing I don't know what to do is to 'restart pcmcia'? I removed my wireless card & inserted the camera (it came up as an unrecognized card) & tried again, no diff.

I worked for me before I reinstalled OZ 3.5.2 & I don't think I've done anything different.

One last idea: You have to install files in your local directory with prepending ./ - otherwise ipkg searches the feeds (where it's not found, of course).

Tried that too, same ;^<. This is really frustrating. It worked before, why not now? I had --force-depends installed opie-camera at some time, so I tried removing it then installing the camera support. same. tried installing it with ipkg and with the package manager, no difference.

I tried using ipkg pointed at the web site instead of locally. no diff. Then I turned on all the options in package manager & saved the debug output. make any difference?

Does /etc/ipkg/arch.conf contain poodle?

Interesting. There is *nothing* under /etc/ipkg/. Could that be the problem? What file(s) are supposed to be there besides arch.conf, and what should they contain?

Title: Sharp Camera Ce-ag06
Post by: Mickeyl on January 13, 2005, 08:24:04 am

Just arch.conf. On your system it should read:

Code: [Select]

arch all 1
arch any 1
arch noarch 1
arch arm 10
arch poodle 20

EUREKA!! That did it. Now I wonder why that file was missing in the first place? But hey, life goes on.

Thanks a bunch, Mickey.
