Cannot get image/video from DFK 42BUC03 on Linux #535

Closed FewerToWhom closed 8 months ago

FewerToWhom commented 8 months ago

Describe the bug Even after installing the drivers from the .deb packaged, I cannot get any pictures on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04). The camera works on Windows no problem.

The device shows up on lsusb:

$ lsusb 
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 06cb:00f0 Synaptics, Inc. 
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04f2:b6bf Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd HP HD Camera

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

but not at all as /dev/video. There I only see the builtin laptop camera. tcam-ctrl -l gives me nothing.

After going through other issues posted here, I've changed the camera from running on proprietary mode to uvc via the firmware update tool:

$ ./tcam-firmware-update -id 48410323

Device manufacturer: The Imaging Source Europe GmbH
Product name:        DFK 42BUC03
Serial number:       48410323
VendorID:ProductID:  199e:8308
Firmware version:    135
UVC mode is:         on
Camera EEPROM size:  32768`

Then it shows up on /dev/video, and also on `tcam-ctrl -l`. However, `tcam-capture` gives me only a black screen.

In case this is of any use, here is the output of v4l2 (video0 to video3 correspond to the builtin cameras):
`$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video4 --all

$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video4 --set-fmt-video=width=1280,height=720,pixelformat=GRBG --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 --stream-to=FILE.raw

It works fine for the builtin cameras, but not for the DFK one.

Trying gst-launch itself with (some?) debug information gave me

but again a black screen... Additionally, and I don't know if this is relevant, in uvc mode the camera produces a black image also on Windows.

I have also tried building tiscamera from source, but that fared no better than using the .deb installation.

Hello

The camera needs a firmware update in order to become v4l2 compatible. Please clone the repository from https://github.com/TheImagingSource/tcam-firmware-update The firmware to be written into your camera is /firmware/usb2/dfk42uc03_3014.euvc.

Many thanks! If only I had had the guts to try updating the firmware sooner... :D
