No capture device (/dev/video0) on i.MX6Q Sabre

[hankwang]

I have an i.mx6q evk board (sabre) and ov5640 camera. I build a bsp 3.0.35 for imx6q sabresd.

But I can't find video 0 or 1 in /dev/. What do I need to do to generate /dev/video0 or /dev/video1.

I need 3.0.35 to verify some things. So I can't change other bsp version.

did you use nxp board or your own board? imx6q has mipi and paralle camera port, which port did you connect? pls give me more detailed information and share the boot up logfile with me

Thank you for your reply. Attached is the log file.

I tested on NXP EVK board. (i.MX6 Series SABER for Smart Devices). ov5640 is on J5 (Parallel Port).

refer to your logfile,

camera ov5642 is not found
camera ov5640_mipi is found

it seems that your board detect ov5640 as mipi already, pls double check it

[hankwang]

Yes, system detected as mipi camera. I need to manually insert the V4L2 driver. The system will show video 0 and video 1.

[joanxie]

could  you share your dts file? and did you insert ov5640 to parallel camera port correctly?

Sorry, I have already solved this problem.

I need to install ov5640_camera.ko and install V4L2 capture device.ko.

And I can find the /dev/video0 and /dev/video1
