Sharp Camera Ce-ag06

[grog]

Hi all. I've gone through the posts I could find including this,  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

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:

ipkg -dest sd install http://www.vanille.de/temp/sharp-camera-su...x-r4_poodle.ipk

Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'

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

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....

grog - Are you using the Henges ROM version of 3.5.2 or OE's 3.5.2 ROM?  That could be the difference.

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?

[Mickeyl]

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

[Mickeyl]

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?
