You probably have the wrong firmware version. 1.43 is required atm. Do you get any output at all?
I'm not sure what firmware version I've got. How can I check? It was pulled right now from the bootctamp windows drivers.
Output from what? The camera? On qv4l2
I get all-green. On mplayer tv://
It shuts down immediately after the error.
You can see the version from the FWMSG dump in dmesg. Either way, only the the latest OSX firmware version (1.43) works. None of the windows versions are working atm.
Oh okay. I need to find a way to get hands on that then. I wonder why @mauritiusdadd went in the process to write a script to get the firmware from the windows version, given that it doesn't work.
Hi @danmilon,
bcwc_pcie-firmware-bc
is for the Boot Camp Windows driver, which currently is version 1.38. I Wrote that PKGBUILD because when the version 1.43 will be (hopfully) released also for Windows, I will just need to update the download url.
Right, makes sense.
A word of warning (mostly for posterity's sake), the above linked PKGBUILD is not the AUR package, but a different version.
Noticeably, I don't see it either installing, or requiring a firmware package, which it should.
Yes, you're right, that's my personal PKGBUILD in my own github repo.
Noticeably, I don't see it either installing, or requiring a firmware package, which it should.
However, it does download and package the Windows version of the firmware.
@mauritiusdadd I don't see that on the main package: https://github.com/mauritiusdadd/AUR/blob/master/bcwc_pcie/PKGBUILD
If it's a separate one, you'd need to depend on it.
I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about bcwc_pcie-firmware-bc
. Thank you for reporting the missing dependency, now it should be fixed.
I installed
bcwc_pcie-firmware-bc
andbcwc_pcie
through @mauritiusdadd AUR packages. I didsudo modprobe -r bdc_pci
I loadedfacetimehd
and then/dev/video0
was created. I triedqv4l2
andmplayer tv://
, and both times at the kernel log I get this error: (BTW the camera LED turns green).Kernel log during qv4l2
Kernel log during mplayer tv://
And this is the error printed by mplayer tv://
lshw
Any idea what's wrong? :)
