Note: this module is valid only for Linux kernels > 5.12

hardware description

============================================================================

To build and test device driver "lvds2mipi.ko" on Scailx device with ZoomBlock camera connected.

Follow steps as follows ...

1. Prepare Linux kernel sources on Scailx system.

cd /usr/src/kernel

gunzip < /proc/config.gz > .config

make oldconfig

make prepare

make scripts

2. Check out this repository on Scailx camera.

3. cd to local folder on camera, and build + install module.

make and make modules_install

4. Check module is loaded lsmod.

5a. Check newly built module is in correct place.

'ls -lt /lib/modules/6*/updates*/lvds2mipi.ko`

5b. Do not forget to copy camera bit image file to /lib/firmware/

'cp *.bit /lib/firmware/'

6. Reboot Scailx and run dmesg to see new messages we added to the device driver C codes modprobe() function.

7. Test newly updated device driver with ZoomBlock camera and visca commands to check it works properly as expected.
