Raspberry Pi Camera Module - Linux
 

Hello all

I have installed kali linux on a Raspberry Pi with a camera module installed.

http://www.raspberrypi.org/camera

As I am using Kali Linux, obviously I do not (believe to) have the raspi-config to configure the pi. Not sure about the driver either.

I have tried a few things, to no avail.

Does anyone have a clue on how to get this operational?

thanks

Reading the camera documentation it mentions that the config utility does specific things to the GPU in order to enable the firmware etc.

Did you try a different SD card with Raspbian installed first to get the camera working initially? Then you could look at the relevant camera source code on github and have a go at compiling it yourself under Kali.

not quite sure i would know how to do that yet

The suggestion by TenTenths worked.
Downloaded the source code from gethub (see the link in TenTenths post)
Compiled it using: ./buildme
Installed on RPI2B

00) apt-get install unzip
0) unzip userland-master.zip (this is the file that is downloaded from gethub)
1) apt-get install cmake
2) ./buildme (intense compilation, which took several minutes)
3) ./raspistill -vf -o z.jpeg (probably should have installed/compiled it in the recommended location)
4) ./raspivid -vf -o z.h264 (these are available in my ./userland-master/build/bin directory, and have to be run from there)
5) if I had installed it in the recommended location, then raspistill and raspivid would probably run from any other directory, or perhaps I can make a link from the proper location.


BTW: wifi through ALFA AWUS051NH also works out of the box in Kali linux.

Same problem!
