Hi Alex, Did manage to get to the bottom of this? I'm seeing the same thing with raspivid / raspistill (although mjpg-streamer works fine). mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.camera' - My checkout of meta-raspberrypi is current on f3a8693f (Andrei Gherzan, May 8th) so I don't believe this is an out of date firmware issue (?) - I tried disabling the preview screen in case there was some kind of video overlay issue e.g. raspivid -n -w 640 -h 480 -fps 5 - I'm not seeing ENOMEM as the error and my GPU_MEM = "128" which I've checked translates into the correct setting in config.txt in the boot partition - I read that it could possibly be related to current consumption and the polyfuse, so I'm now powering from a bench PSU direct into the P1 header, and current limiting isn't the issue. - I've just put a downloaded and put copy of Raspbian on there. Running raspivid seems to work fine (preview screen etc. etc.) e.g. raspivid -w 640 -h 480 -fps 5 - Looking at the raspivid source it seems a fairly straightforward setup call is failing early on, leading me to think something is missing as you suggest? https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland/blob/677f3cc646c8847822998c6409a748c900897076/host_applications/linux/apps/raspicam/RaspiVid.c Thanks, Alex -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
