Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 15:07:10 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

This is the error message:

ov7670 0-0042: chip found @ 0x84 (cafe_ccic)
cafe1000-ccic 0000:00:0c.2: Unsupported sensor type
0x1<4>cafe1000-ccic: probe of 0000:00:0c.2 failed with error -22

Comment 3 Martin Dengler 2009-07-10 11:17:11 UTC

With later OLPC kernels (based on 2.6.30 and including that patch), I can't find an error message now.  kernel reports the chip was detected, as opposed to before:

cafe1000-ccic 0000:00:0c.2: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
ov7670 1-0042: chip found @ 0x84 (cafe_ccic)

...but still no dice in Cheese or Record.  I will try to find a better error message.

Comment 4 Peter Robinson 2009-11-09 09:48:35 UTC

I looked at this last night. The missing bit was gstreamer-plugins-good which has the v4l2 gstreamer plugin and other useful bits. I took a 'photo' using the following pipeline but ran out of time to test other things. I think this one can now be closed.

gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! pngenc ! filesink location=foo.png

Comment 5 Peter Robinson 2009-12-02 03:45:47 UTC

This is now working so closing
