Hi All, I want to say that in the beginning I encountered the same problem, but with the support of Laurent and other guys, today on my system OMAP3 ISP successfully passes registration. To my yet, I still cannot connect my video source because it's missing, but I successfully configure pipeline with use MC User space API.

As a quick hack, to start with, you can still use an I2C subdev driver. Just remove all I2C-related code from the driver, and register a fake I2C device in board code. That will let you at least develop the driver and test the UART interface. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6327 (20110726) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6328 (20110727) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
