Description Hans de Goede 2025-01-23 11:33:50 UTC

Some laptops, such as the Dell Latitude 7450 use an OV02E10 sensor. In order for the cameras on these laptops to work a driver for this sensor needs to be added to the (upstream) kernel.

An out of tree driver for this sensor is available here:

https://github.com/intel/ipu6-drivers/blob/master/drivers/media/i2c/ov02e10.c


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2025-05-23 20:55:30 UTC

The ov02e10 sensor patch has now landed upstream:
https://git.linuxtv.org/media.git/commit/?id=1c734f8ab070716604d0794094e18de3475c8eeb

And I've backported this to the Fedora kernels starting with kernel-6.14.6-300.fc42.

If you have a laptop which uses this sensor together with the already LJCA USB IO-expander, like the Dell Precision 5690 please give this a try.

If you've a laptop which uses the new Lattice MIPI aggregator / USBIO chip, like e.g. the Dell Latitude 7450 and you want to test the new support, then please also install akmod-intel-ipu6 from rpmfusion nonfree.

Also see: https://hansdegoede.dreamwidth.org/29996.html

Note the colors being washed out and/or the image possibly being a bit over or under exposed is expected behavior ATM, this is due to the software ISP needing more work to improve the image quality. There also is a software-ISP issue where in some cases the auto-exposure algorithm gets into an oscillation and the image flickers pretty badly.

Since this bug was for tracking adding ov02e10 sensor support to the Fedora kernels, I'm now closing this.

If your ov02e10 camera still does not work after these changes (and with he USBIO drivers installed from rpmfusion) and you've not filed a bug for your laptop model already please file a bug following these instructions:
