Hello everyone,

here is a little update to my question and to the source code.

After i implemented an function with the VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT ioctl i recognized, that only two formats are support by the driver by now. (Thanks to Mr. Liakhovetski by the way ;) ) The output.txt shows the output of this function and mentions the two different types.

One is definately the V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUYV format but i don't know the other one exactly...

I changed my set_format function after i got this information and unfortunately nothing has changed...

Perhaps there are some further possibilities to solve this Problem.

Maybe there have some other v4l2 structures to be initialized, befor the VIDIOC_S_FMT ioctl runs?
You have to set fmt.fmt.pix.field toV4L2_FIELD_ANY and only YUV is supported at the moment.

Regards,

Hello,

my name is Kai Tiwisina and i'm a student in germany and i'm trying to communicate with a Omnivision ov9655 camera which is atteched with my embedded linux system via the v4l commands.

I've written a small testprogram which should grow step by step while i'm trying one ioctl after another. Everything worked fine until i tried to use the VIDIOC_S_FMT ioctl. It's always giving me an "invalid argument" failure and i don't know why.

Since you don't seem to have the source of the driver at hand, I'd suggest to use the VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT http://v4l2spec.bytesex.org/spec/r8367.htm ioctl to enumerate all pixel formats supported be the driver. If the driver you're using is the same, that Stefan (cc'ed) has submitted to the list, then indeed it does not support the V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB555 format, that you're requesting, only various YUV (and a Bayer?) formats.

Perhaps someone of you is able to help me with this ioctl and give an advice for a simple flow chart for a single frame image capture. Which ioctl steps are neccessary and where do i need loops and for what, because the capture-example.c from bytesex.org is way too general for my purpose.

Thanks
Guennadi
