Hello!
I’m trying to build the ‘MIPI_Camera’ test programs on my RPi4 running Ubuntu18.04.
But when I make I get the error message,
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible //usr/lib/libarducam_mipicamera.so when searching for -larducam_mipicamera
I did run the install and I can see the file there and can ls the above path+name.
Do I need to compile that library because I’m on Ubuntu?
Cheers
Btw, I am using the ‘arm64’ version of the ubuntu server for Pi4.
Ok…so after some investigation I thought to check the file type of ‘libarducam_mipicamera.so’ using the ‘file’ command.
This returns:
libarducam_mipicamera.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=f89d2154b7f02d1316e686329ec018b82f89082d, not stripped
Soo0…that means that the file is of a 32bit architechture build? Is that correct?
And I am trying to build it on a 64bit version of Ubuntu. So can that be the source of the link error?
Hello,
The libarducam_mipicamera.so is compiled on Raspibian system,which is not compatible with the Ubuntu system. we will try to recompiled the so file on ubuntu system.
Thank you that would be much appreciated!
Just so that you know, I did just install the 32bit version of Ubuntu18.04 for the Raspberry and it seems like iv’e manage to build the MIPI_Camera examples.
But when I run them I just get some messages like,
> ./preview-camera0
Open camera…
can’t open /dev/gpiomem
Couldn’t open I2C device
init camera status = 4097
and
> sudo ./preview-camera0
Open camera…
init camera status = 4100
But no streaming images. I tried some of the other programs too but without success.
I also thought maybe I attached the camera wrong and swapped the direction of the brown strip/band. But no success either way.
Just read someone else’s post so also did,

Hi,
For Pi4 platform Please try those commands
cd /tmp
wget https://project-downloads.drogon.net/wiringpi-latest.deb
sudo dpkg -i wiringpi-latest.deb
pi@raspberrypi:~/MIPI_Camera/RPI $ chmod +x enable_i2c_vc.sh
pi@raspberrypi:~/MIPI_Camera/RPI $ ./enable_i2c_vc.sh

Hi!
Thanks for that! I had started looking for ‘gpio’ but realized it has been deprecated.
I tried your download but when running ./camera_i2c I get this:

I looked at the Ubuntu site for a ‘libc-2.28.so’ but I haven’t found one. And it sounds like a pretty crucial library for the OS so it might not even be a good idea to try to swap.
I did try to do a sneaky symbolic link to pretend I had that file but it didn’t work.
There seem to be some alternatives to gpio around. Maybe its time to upgrade to a more multi platform tool? 
Sorry, I did start by running ./enable_i2c_vc.sh + rebooting. But nothing seemed to have changed.
Ok, so instead I just built ‘gpio’ from this source,
https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi
then installed ‘rpi3-gpiovirtbuf’ from https://github.com/6by9/raspiraw
and finally did
> sudo apt-get install i2c-tools for ‘i2cdetect’
I then run
> ./camera_i2c
but just get:
setting GPIO for board revsion: b03111

error: open: /dev/vcio: Permission denied
Error: Could not open file /dev/i2c-0’ or/dev/i2c/0’: No such file or directory
Still, maybe progress of sorts!?
So, instead I just build ‘gpio’ from this source,
https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi
Then installed ‘rpi3-gpiovirtbuf’ from https://github.com/6by9/raspiraw
and
> sudo apt-get install i2c-tools for ‘i2cdetect’
Then tried again. I first had to do
> sudo chmod a+r /dev/vcio
as I got an Permission error. Probably not a good thing to do.
finally
> ./camera_i2c

Set state of 133 to 1

I do have an ‘/dev/i2c-1’
but if I run
> sudo i2cdetect -y 1
I only get empty (–) fields in the grid.
Here’s a picture of the hardware
I later on decided to build ‘gpio’ from source instead (from original authors git).
I also got the ‘rpi3-gpiovirtbuf’ program, from https://github.com/Hermann-SW/raspiraw.
Then I ran the ‘camera_i2c’ script again.
I manage to clear all error messages, but I still didn’t get any images from the camera.
I don’t actually seem to be able to get any proof that the camera is being registered correctly at all.
Here’s a picture of my hardware

(Iv’e recently had several failed attempts to post)
So, I ended up building ‘gpio’ from source, from the authors git repo.
I got the ‘rpi3-gpiovirtbuf’ from this place, https://github.com/Hermann-SW/raspiraw
I then ran the ‘camera_i2c’ script again and got no error messages.
But still no images from the camera.
I can’t even get a proof that the camera is correctly registered on the Pi.
There seems to be something wron with the forum code/server. I keep sending messages but they are not showing.
Hello,
Please test it on raspbian system instead of Ubuntu system. When I have time. I will test it on ubuntu system.
Hi,
I now have a fresh Raspbian Buster card I can boot from and have tested there.
Boot config,
gpu_mem=128
dtparam=i2c_vc=on
> ls /dev/i2c-*
/dev/i2c-0 /dev/i2c-1
> ./preview-camera0
Open camera…
init camera status = 4100
(and nothing else happens)

Could it maybe be something wrong with the camera do you think?
Oh I just had the camera connected the wrong way around!
As you can see from the picture higher up!
I get a good picture with ‘preview_setMode’.
But ‘preview’ does not work.
I do get the mmal lens shading error.
This is great! I will try with Ubuntu again over the weekend!
I have tried it again on Ubuntu but can’t get it to work there.
