I just got my CAM130 a few days ago and have had no success using it. I have tried recompiling the kernel, looking for additions that might help the system recognize the camera. I used Vlad's driver, I had to recompile his diver for my kernel, I was able to insmod the module, but when I ran his test program I got No OV9(whatever this number is) found!!! I have since put the original Qtopia onto the board to see if there was some magical module I was missing. How do I get this camera working? If I can't use it, I am going to assume that it is physically flawed. Please Help! Thanks, Corey.
CAM130 Problem
Okay, so I put the RootFS(root-qtopia-128M.img) and kernel(zImage_T35) and
/dev/camera is in the device list. When I try to cat the camera:
[root@FriendlyARM /dev]# ls
adc rtc tty43
audio rtc0 tty44
backlight sdcard tty45
buttons shm tty46
camera
...
[root@FriendlyARM /dev]# cat /dev/camera >> /turd
cat: can't open '/dev/camera': No such device
What is going on here?

So, when I load the custom camera module made by Vlad:
[root@FriendlyARM /]# insmod s3c2440camera.ko
Loading OV9650 driver.........
SCCB address 0x60, manufacture ID 0xFFFF, expect 0x7FA2
SCCB address 0x60, manufacture ID 0xFFFF, expect 0x7FA2
No OV9650 found!!!
[root@FriendlyARM /]# cat /dev/video0
cat: can't open '/dev/video0': No such device
Does anyone have any clue why this is happening?
And this is what MjpegStreamer says.

Turns out that the /dev/camera node is created regardless to whether there
is a CMOS sensor plugged in or not. I am really beginning to think that my
camera is a dud or there is something wrong with the hardware of this
board. If no one is going to reply I am going to get an RMA. This makes no
sense.
For what its worth ... I ordered the CAM130 a few days ago and just plugged it onto the Mini2440 20pin header (sensor protrudes beyond the board). The camtest application under LinuxSampleCode finds the camera and displays an image on the display. SW as delivered with Intellimetrix ELLK uname shows 2.6.32.2-FriendlyARM.
Thank you. I compiled camtest and it is a no go. Guess I need to RMA this
thing.
[root@FriendlyARM /]# ./camtest

Hello, guys i just got my CAM130 shipped with Tiny210v2 and Android 4.0. I plugged the CAm130 in 20 pin header module extending out of board and run the "camera" app but it said "unfortunately, camera just stopped" . . . plz can anyone tell what is the problem? is it bcz of driver is missing? . if yes, where do i find the required driver and how to install it?
