Installing Arducam C/C++ SDK on NanoPI Neo[edit]
This test was run on a Nanopi Neo, Arducam USB2.0 Rev.C and OV5642 camera. A simple test on Windows 7 can be done following the instructions on the Arducam User Guide.
1) Create swap space, otherwise if you don't have at least 1GB of RAM the compiler will crash.
free dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=1000 mkswap /var/swap.img swapon /var/swap.img free
2) Install libusb1.0-0-dev
apt-get install libusb1.0-0-dev
3) Download Arducam SDK from github:
https://github.com/ArduCAM/ArduCAM_USB_Camera_Shield
then put it in a directory of your choice
4) Go to the Raspberry PI directory (NanoPI has the same ARM architecture), and
- install Arducam SDK
cd /root/ArduCAM_USB_Camera_Shield-master/RaspberryPi/Cpp/Streaming_demo export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./Arducam_SDK make install-sdk mv ArduCam_Demo ArduCam_Demo.orig make
It will compile. Then, make a check.
./ArduCam_Demo ../../../cpp_config/OV5642_JPEG_QSXGA.yml
Here is the output:
device num:1 index: 0 Serial:▒▒▒▒-▒▒▒▒-▒▒▒▒ Serial: ▒▒▒▒-▒▒▒▒-▒▒▒▒ capture thread create successfully. read thread create successfully. Capture began, rtn_val = 0 (ArduCam:8149): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
The executable will get an error due to the lack of graphic interface, but the camera is recognized.
