PR1.2 Camera closes with operation failed
 
Hey everyone. Upgraded to PR1.2 from 1.1.1 couple of days ago and the camera app hasn't worked since. I have flashed both FIASCO and eMMC images twice to no use.

I have diagnosed the problem a bit. It sees that omap3camd for /dev/video0 gets started fine at boot but it crashes when I open the camera for the first time. If started again with command omap3camd -d /dev/video0 I get "bus error" message from it when opening camera again. I can use gst-launch to view video by piping /dev/video0 to xvimagesink with no problems.

I am at a loss about what to do next. If anyone has any ideas on howto fix this, your input is greatly appreciated.

reflash emmc, and rootfs - do NOT restore settings! settings from PR1.1 seem to cause problems with PR1.2.

Managed to fix the problem. Uninstalled omap3camd and purged it. Then reinstalled and after reboot camera started working.

I know the cam give me "failed operation" when I am using FLASH LIGHT while taking pictures. When Flash light is turn off, it work again. Video cam work fine with flash light or not but taking pictures failed with FLASH LIGHT ON!!

start xterm, sudo gainroot (needs the rootsh package), apt-get remove omap3camd, dpkg --purge omap3camd, apt-get install omap3camd

Fyi. the command can also rephrase as following:

Code:
apt-get autoremove omap3camd --purge && apt-get install omap3camd
The advantage of using autoremove is that it remove the dep. packages are well, if any.
