Raspberry Pi camera under NetBSD current
I have been trying to get the raspberry pi camera to work on a model B under a
recent current snapshot.
NetBSD 9.99.88 (RPI) #0: Fri Sep 24 18:47:29 UTC 2021
mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/RPI
As standard booting off the sdcard works fine with the default config.txt,
but to use the camera you need to modify this to add start_x=1 and set the
gpu mem to 128. With the changed options you need different microcode files
in the /boot partition start_x.elf and fixup_x.dat. NetBSD doesn't supply
these, but I pulled versions from the git repository.
The problem is that the system boots, but fails to attach the sdcard and thus
cannot find root, Looking at the dmesg's from the two boots (screen shots for
the failing one) it seems something goes wrong, but the error is poorly
reported, A sort of diff between the dmesgs shows:
-[ 1.000000] total memory = 384 MB
-[ 1.000000] avail memory = 366 MB
+[ 1.000000] total memory = 128 MB

At first I thought the sdmmc0: direct I/O error 5, r=6 p=0xc8733f14 write
message was the problem, but that appears on the successful boot as well.
Irritatingly FreeBSD seems to work OK with the camera - but I really would
prefer NetBSD.
I can compile a kernel with some debugging for the sdcard, but thought others
may have run into this problem....
Cheers,
Dave
