Hello,

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to reverse engineer this driver and provide as much as possible to the community.

I'm having an issue setting this up on a Pop!_OS 20.04, a Debian/Ubuntu derived distribution.

Here's my terminal input and output, if it helps:

There is some duplication of the instructions provided in the following section: https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/wiki/Get-Started#get-started-on-debian - some of these are already detailed above in the Firmware extraction section: https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/wiki/Get-Started#get-started-on-debian - so I skipped over the commands I had already run.

Is the sensor calibration an essential part of the installation?

Kind regards.

Hi, you have missed the step where you install the driver (you're only installing the firmware)

The firmware repo is: https://github.com/patjak/facetimehd-firmware.git The driver repo is: https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie.git

Have a look at the docs again and you'll figure it out :)

Thanks :smile:
