Installing CSI Camera

Shivani

I have Orange Pi PC plus which has Debian OS and I want to start CSI camera.Please guide me for that. Do I need to install ow level drivers or not? Is it similar to Raspberry Pi or not?

Here is what wrote in the user manual:

i　Load up driver

sudo modprobe gc2035

sudo modprobe vfe_v4l2

ii　Install motion

sudo apt-get install motion

iii　Modify configuration

sudo nano /etc/motion/motion.conf

stream_localhost off

iv　Create folder for images saving

mkdir ~/motion

v　Modify permission

chmod 777 motion

vi　Continue modifying configuration

sudo nano /etc/default/motion

start_motion_daemon=yes

vii　Boot the server

Sudo /etc/init.d/motion start

Enter the following in browser: localhost:8081

You could check image output from camera.

Besides, you could also refer to this link:

Thank You ! I have referred user manual. In that at the end of page 30 there is  "8) How to use gc2035 on Linux " written so do I need to execute those command before loading sudo modprobe gc2035sudo modprobe vfe_v4l?
