Error when compiling with "latest" instead of recommended Git pointers / Provide newer firmwares #78

Open The-Judge opened 1 year ago

The-Judge commented 1 year ago

I know that the README says that one needs to compile against specific Git Hashes because Micropython changes a lot. Anyways: With Micropython 1.19.1 out and 1.20 coming soon, it would be great to have a way to use the camera module and drivers with newer Micropython versions.

I ignored the warnings about the specific Git commit hashes and used this instead:

I tried on MacOS and Linux and both time, I got the same result:

Generating ../../genhdr/moduledefs.h

cd /home/fresh/esp32-cam/micropython/ports/esp32/build-ESP32_CAM/esp-idf/main && /home/fresh/.espressif/python_env/idf4.3_py3.8_env/bin/python3.8 /home/fresh/esp32-cam/micropython/py/makemoduledefs.py /home/fresh/esp32-cam/micropython/ports/esp32/build-ESP32_CAM/genhdr/moduledefs.collected > /home/fresh/esp32-cam/micropython/ports/esp32/build-ESP32_CAM/genhdr/moduledefs.h
ERROR: Call to MP_REGISTER_MODULE(MP_QSTR_camera, mp_module_camera_system, (1)) should be MP_REGISTER_MODULE(MP_QSTR_camera, mp_module_camera_system)

It would be absolutely great, if you could update this repo and guide to work with latest Micropython once ... I don't know: Once a year or once per Micropython Major/minor release?

Alternatively, release updated firmware from time to time - that would be really great!

Hi, I'm trying to have the camera module on MicroPython 1.20. I've had the same error The-Judge found and with the modification of tacker66's commit I managed to build the firmware, but when I write "import camera" I get that the module is not installed. Has anyone a solution?

P.S. I also had another problem during the building of the firmware, something like this:

FAILED: esp-idf/main/CMakeFiles/BUILD_FROZEN_CONTENT frozen_content.c /project/micropython/ports/esp32/build-ESP32_CAM/esp-idf/main/CMakeFiles/BUILD_FROZEN_CONTENT /project/micropython/ports/esp32/build-ESP32_CAM/frozen_content.c 

cd /project/micropython/ports/esp32/build-ESP32_CAM/esp-idf/main && /opt/esp/python_env/idf4.4_py3.8_env/bin/python3.8 /project/micropython/tools/makemanifest.py -o /project/micropython/ports/esp32/build-ESP32_CAM/frozen_content.c -v MPY_DIR=/project/micropython -v MPY_LIB_DIR=/project/micropython/lib/micropython-lib -v PORT_DIR=/project/micropython/ports/esp32 -v BOARD_DIR=/project/micropython/ports/esp32/boards/ESP32_CAM 
-b /project/micropython/ports/esp32/build-ESP32_CAM -f-march=xtensawin --mpy-tool-flags=\"/project/micropython/ports/esp32/board/manifest.py\" /boards/manifest.py

freeze error executing "/boards/manifest.py": Error in manifest file: /boards/manifest.py: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/boards/manifest.py'

To solve this, I modified the file micropython/py/mkrules.cmake at line 203. It should be like this:

COMMAND ${Python3_EXECUTABLE} ${MICROPY_DIR}/tools/makemanifest.py -o ${MICROPY_FROZEN_CONTENT} -v "MPY_DIR=${MICROPY_DIR}" -v "MPY_LIB_DIR=${MICROPY_LIB_DIR}" -v "PORT_DIR=${MICROPY_PORT_DIR}" -v "BOARD_DIR=${MICROPY_BOARD_DIR}" -b "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}" -f${MICROPY_CROSS_FLAGS} --mpy-tool-flags=${MICROPY_MPY_TOOL_FLAGS} "micropython/ports/esp32/boards/manifest.py"

You have to change the variable ${MICROPY_FROZEN_MANIFEST} to the full path to boards/manifest.py
