mmal: Received unexpected camera control callback event, 0x4f525245

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi - I've bought a couple dozen raspberry pi cameras from you folks for a class I teach... Over the past couple of years I have gotten this error on over half of them:

 

mmal: Received unexpected camera control callback event, 0x4f525245

 

The kids absolutely love using the cameras, but It's getting pretty expensive to support the class by re-purchasing them. This appears to be a hot topic around the internet on RPi forums, and I have yet to hear a successful fix. Apparently this is tied to a conflict in resources in-board, from https://www.bountysource.com/issues/1335530-kernels-3-10-w1_gpio-destroys-i2c-bus-0-raspicam-doesn-t-work-anymore

 

The problem is that the 1-wire module overwrite the gpio function selection for the I2C pins.
Before 1-wire is loaded *0x20200000 = 0x48024 and I2C works (GPIO0 and GPIO in I2C alt function)
After 1-wire is loaded *0x20200000 = 0x48921 and I2C fails (GPIO0 is set to an output)

No idea yet why that happens yet, but that explains why I2C (and camera) stops working.

 

I hate to stop using the camera with these pis (tried b, b+, A+ all have failed) but I don't know what else to do. Can you folks help?

 

Thanks

    Hello Charlie,

    Welcome to the element14 Community, I will move this over to the Raspberry Pi Accessories area as it is a better fit. If you feel that an RMA is necessary please click HERE.

     

    Thank you,

     

    Jamie

    If I were going to RMA for this error, it would be for %50 of the cameras.

    I would think you would want to address this - it's not just me. There are

    a ton of folks having this issue.

     

    Is there anyone I can call and speak with about this?

     

    Thanks. Again - I would hate to abandon these cameras/RPi's as a teaching

    tool, but we cannot keep replacing the cameras at this rate. I do not have

    enough info to troubleshoot myself, as I have exhausted the options I have

    read about on support pages.
