Hi All,

Has anyone experienced segmentation error while gphoto2 is trying to detect the camera over usb? (e.g. ghoto2 --auto-detect, gphoto2 --capture-image)

Previously, I've managed to run an older version gphoto2 in the TL-MR3020, but after my usb drive which contain my overlay broke down, I reinstalled gphoto2 2.4.11 and realized that it wouldn't work anymore.

Similar error was experience with the TL-MR3040 (also running ar71xx), I've tried using the gphoto2 packages both from the repository and self compile but none of it works.

Does anyone has similar experience or have solutions to share?

Below is the log from gphoto2, I'm using a Nikon D90 in my test.

Camera Model "Nikon DSC D90 (PTP mode)"

downgraded to gphoto2 included in backfire (gphoto2 2.4.9) - works fine, but with some limitations of the old version.
Just download the precompiled packages here:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/1 … /packages/

seems that gphoto2 should be compiled against libusb instead of libusb-1.0,...

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/foru … hange+View

Hi TinY,
you can fix the problem by using libusb instead of libusb-1.0. Try the
Openwrt-Makefile attached to this mail.

For those that have my problem...i solve it!!!

1) Change repository: modify the /etc/opkg.conf (using WinSCP in example) and in the first line save the url in a local file and replace with this:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/1 … /packages/

2) Connect via SSH and type:
opkg update
(wait)
opkg install gphoto2
(wait)
opkg install libgphoto2
(wait)
opkg install libphoto2-drivers

then return in opkg.conf and replace the url in the original form. Then

opkg update
(wait)
opkg install gphoto2

(and just this!!!!)

At the end of installation all goes in the true way!

Nothig to do: today i reinstalled any possible version of gphoto and router gives me always

Segmentation Fault

Test with
2.4.9-1
2.4.9-2
2.4.11
2.5.0

It's very frustrating to see that resetting the router and do the same step of yesterday (gphoto worked until this morning) doesn't produce the same result. It's possible that there is an error in the repository????

Finally solved.....i'hope

opkg install pthread

and then i can use 2.5.0 that is faster than the old version!!!
Now ready for others problems (they are jey arrived: Could not change shutter speed Could not change aperture)

Hope it's usefull for others

Essentially - 1st step just want to at least get to the point where my Nikon camera is detected. Should I be using a different image - create my own? If so, what should the absolute minimum be? I am using a combo of Luci and command line. Luci to just get the router network setup.

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

I've read just now..but i can understand that you can't install libgphoto2-drivers due to not enough free space on memory. So you need to use a usb external sotrage (it's not simple to install over it) or a router that have more free space..
Waiting for more expert answer!

So what exactly are you waiting for?
There are not many ways to install a software which exceed your available size on your router, computer,...

1.) Expand space
can be EASILY done via USB. As you're using a camera I assume you connect this to the router also via USB so you will need a Hub to connect both. I use that one:
http://www.delock.de/produkte/G_61724/m … anguage=en

The only issue is to get an USB-Stick which is stable enough for your application. If you put it on your desk it doesn't matter, if you put it 100 miles away it does.

2.1) Save space - own image
You can cook your openwrt and exclude a lot of software you may not need and install gphoto2 instead. That option is not really easy but may suit if you want to setup more than one device.

2.2) Save space - drivers
The drivers-package includes more drivers than you may need. If you need the support for a canon dslr you just need to copy ptp2.so.

From my experience, Option 1 is the easiest for many situations, but the hub and the usb-stick doesn't really increase the stability of the system. On the other side you can install a lot of utilities on the USB-stick as you are not limited to the integrated flash and you can use the stick as swap.

Thank you for the quick replies. So am I to deduce, that one of the issues may simply be the drivers package? I guess I'm wondering if there's a difference between detection of the device vs. driver needed to execute camera functions. As you may guess, I am really a NOOB and learning, the quick response in the community sure is appreciated.

I will try Option 1 (have to learn how to do that as well =p all fun though) first, to at least attempt to get to detection and camera control on my desk, then move to baking own packages.

You are searching for extroot (that keyword has been missing in this thread so far).

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/extroot

Setup extroot, install whatever you want, be happy.

Hi Guys,

I just succeeded to compile a gphoto2 package using the latest gphoto2 version 2.5.2:
https://cloud.smart-mt.at/data/public/ad9dda.php#1 **UPDATED**

If you need compiled packages let me know! I only included the most common ptp2-driver in this patch, if you need more just modify the libgphoto2-Makefile accordingly (eg. removing "--with-camlibs=ptp2 \" to build all drivers).

Now ready for others problems (they are jey arrived: Could not change shutter speed Could not change aperture)

Which camera do you use?
I usually only change some specific settings, eg. exposure-compensation or ISO and those work fine on Canon EOS cameras. But the features vary by each camera, most cameras doesn't support tethered capturing at all,..

Has anyone got a good compiled package, ideally of libgphoto2, libgphoto2-drivers and gphoto2 ideally from 2.5.2 source that work on these TP-Link routers? It seems this problem has been running around for awhile, but the Attitude Adjustment binaries don't work. I'm a noob to OpenWRT and setting up the environments to cross compile this code. I'm knee deep in it now, but if someone can help us out here and either post or submit binaries, it would be greatly appreciated.

google those packages (all of them) "gphoto2_2.5.0-1_ar71xx.ipk, libgphoto2_2.5.0-1_ar71xx.ipk, libgphoto2-drivers_2.5.0-1_ar71xx.ipk"

one single source

oh, yes, only 2.5.0, but they're working for me on an EOS 400D and DIR-505 (formerly on a TL-MR3020, which also worked).

Ah, Herzlichen Dank!

I suppose in my searches prior I wasn't looking hard enough or in the right way. It took a search on an individual package name to find them. They are working now just as described and while I still want to get the environment set up to cross compile, (for gphotofs) it's not a necessity now.

Also it was good to see the remote camera setup on foto-webcam,

Thanks again!

Hi joky

i found your post right now, but the link that you reported here and here seems to be broken...

Have you got the precompiled packages of gphoto2 2.5.2 for tp-link routers? I have a WR842ND, my default repository (ar71xx) has not the updated version of gphoto, and due to the famous problem of "segmentation fault" (libusb1 problem) i can't use my Canon G2 with this routers...

If you have them, you make my day! :-)

In case you can't get hold of the 2.5.2 version: Have you tried 2.5.0 already?

The other question is: How can we get 2.5.2 into the official openwrt distribution?

Many thanx joky...sorry but..i'm noob about compiling on openwrt.
The two .zip files contains makefile, not .ipk how i must use them?
Many thanx!

edit: just tried to download SDK, to compile makefile under openwrt, but i can't do it due to not enough free space...

Hi Lork,

the ipk file contains compiled packages for a specific architecture and openwrt version.

Which Router do you use? Which camera?
I can compile it for Openwrt 12.09.

kind regards

Many thanx Erwin!

i've Openwrt 12.09 and a Canon Powershot G2. It would be P-E-R-F-E-C-T if you can build .ipk :-)

Unfortunately i can't compile them on my openwrt platform...

The discussion might have continued from here.
