Hi All,
I've been trying to get the atomisp driver from staging to work
on a couple of devices I have.
I started with an Asus T100TA after fixing 2 oopses in the sensor
driver there I found out that the BIOS does not allow to put the
ISP in PCI mode and that there is no code to drive it in ACPI
enumerated mode.
So I moved to a generic Insyde T701 tablet which does allow
this. After fixing some more sensor driver issues there I was
ready to actually load the atomisp driver, but I could not
find the exact firmware required, I did find a version which
is close: "irci_stable_candrpv_0415_20150423_1753"
and tried that but that causes the atomisp driver to explode
in a backtrace which contains atomisp_load_firmware() so that
one seems no good.
Ok, so it turns out that the explosion was not a probem with
a wrong firmware version, but rather another atomisp code
bug. According to this patch:
https://github.com/01org/ProductionKernelQuilts/blob/master/uefi/cht-m1stable/patches/cam-0418-atomisp2-css2401-and-2401_legacy-irci_stable_candrpv.patch
The irci_stable_candrpv_0415_20150423_1753 version I
have and the irci_stable_candrpv_0415_20150521_0458
version expected are fully compatible.
So I'e focussed on fixing the crash and that was easy, see
the patch I just send.
Then I hit another bunch of crashes which all turn out to
be due to races with udev opening /dev/video# nodes for probing
before the driver is ready to handle this because the driver
registers the v4l2 devices too soon. I've hacked around this
for now:
https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/commit/88c9c248e6e0f86d547ea8441e16b0e8b4c951c8
And with this hack the driver loads without issues, giving
me 10 /dev/video# devices. So I tried this app:
https://github.com/jfwells/linux-asus-t100ta/tree/master/webcam/atomisp_testapp
On a number of the v4l devices which leads to yet more oopses.
So I'm starting to wonder, does anyone have this driver working
(in its current form in 4.12-rc3 drivers/staging) at all ?
I'm asking because that is hard to believe given e.g. the recursion bug
I've just fixed.
Can someone provide step-by-step instructions for how to get this
driver working?
I'm not expecting all userspace apps to just work, but at least a userspace
example
given a picture from the camera would be very helpful in further developing
this driver.
Regards,
Hans
