Enable Raspberry Pi camera without Raspi-config
ask:
Hi
I have installed the latest Ubuntu Mate on my Raspberry Pi2. I wanted to use the Raspberry Pi camera in this operating system. Although I installed the ' Picamera ' driver in it, the system can not be create the camera component when I ran "Raspistill- o test.jpg ".
Because there is no "raspi-config" in this OS, I has no idea to further set the camera. For the same camera and Pi, when I use a Raspbian Wheezy OS SD card, everything are OK for the RASPI camera.
Could Somebody give me some suggestions?
Answer:
Ubuntu is the most excellent Linux system for raspberry Pi2. The software update is very quickly.
Currently, there is no raspi-config command for raspberry configuration at version15.04, but it'll come out in the near Future version.
Without raspi-config, we can manually config it easily. Just Modify the File/boot/firmware/config.txt is enough.
Just Add a line "Start_x=1" at the bottom of the file Config.txt, save it, and reboot the system.
At the terminal, Input command "sudo raspistill-o test.jpg", it'll work.
Result
Thanks a lot!
It Works normally now! This is really cool!
How to do :
Edit Your/boot/config.txt file and make sure the following lines look like this:
Start_x=1 # Essential
gpu_mem=128 # At least, or maybe + if you wish
disable_camera_led=1 # Optional, if you don ' t want the LEDs to glow
Reboot
