Newbie with Sharp Cam on OZ3.2 SL-5500 probs
« on: May 25, 2004, 04:05:49 am »
Hi. I\'m a newbie with a SL-5500/OZ3.2-40/24 config. I can\'t seem to get the Sharp camera to work with OpieCam. I\'ve installed the sharp drivers from vanille.de, but I\'ve heard that busybox needs to either be upgraded or downgraded.

Can somebody please point me to an ipk for busybox. I tried to install the one from killefiz.de, but when following the instructions to the letter, it wouldn\'t allow me to link.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Al.

You can try to use the busybox binary from OZ 3.3.5.

Take a look at the script in question which is probably in /usr/lib/ipkg/ (somewhere under here, though it you installed on a card you\'ll have to prepend the appropriate /mnt/*/ to the front of my path).

See why it doesn\'t work and delete it to remove the error ;-).

Not pretty but it should work.
