Mini / Tiny 6410 - TVP5150

Hi,  
I try to use a tvp5150 decoder pluged on the CMOS connector to receive a
PAL signal.

 1- I compiled a  tvp5150.ko module with a cross compiler and Linux-2.6.36
sources. 

 2 - I launched insmod tvp5150.ko

Results : 
  - on tiny6410 after a camtest 
                              -> black screen 

  - on mini6410 :  mjpg-stream to display /dev/video0 :
->    /dev/video0 does not support read i/o
      i: init_s3c2410 failed


How could I use this tvp5150 decoder instead of a CAM130 on a mini6410 or
Tiny6410 ?

Yeah, good luck with that :)
My setup is I guess much simpler, I'm trying to make an ov7670 sensor work.
This is the second month now with almost no progress, it's a hobby of
course, but still.... 
The thing is that with these newer kernels these guys do not provide the
fimc driver code, all it has is a precompiled object with a choice of 3
cameras, that's it. 
It looks like the options are either to implement a fimc driver for this
kernel, or go back to 2.6.29 which has the sources available.

I'm now trying to use a linux2.28.6 Kernel without success. I will give a
solution on how to do...if i do it :)

Please post an update if you get there.

Another issue that I have (may be you too :)) is the fact that I'm using
tiny6410 and it's the new revision with 2gb MLC flash. The problem is that
older kernels do not have support for such a big flash, and you see the
result as a spectacular crash during the boot.

The level of documentation/support/code of this crap is really pissing me
of now, I'll probably get rid of this board and switch to something else...

I have the same Tiny board and I had boot problem when using the qt4 rootfs
with a old kernel.
I have installed a Debian on 4GB SD card (following the tutorial
http://code.google.com/p/mini6410-debian/) and i can load the kernel I want
without boot problem.

Thank you, good to know that works.
One more question for you - have you ever tried changing CheckOneButton=No
to Yes in FriendlyArm.ini? Does it work for you? 
All I get is ID Err and the board hangs... Just want to figure out if
something's wrong with my particular board or sd card (mine is 8gb sdhc),
or it's specific to this revision of the board...

No sorry, i did not try.
I will try next time I load a kernel.

hello Cedric,

Did you succeed to get TVP5150 work,
please share modifications you have done in board specific files.

I have been trying with tiny210.

:(


Thanks

Hello Cedric
I have a question
multimedia driver of tiny6410 2.6.36/2.6.38 kernel is not open source, and
how do you transplant the tvp5150 driver

thank you very much
