Camera is working on Linux

[MarkHaysHarris777]

I suspect the build will succeed on Ubuntu, but have not tested it...

. . .

PS  I was able to get /dev/video0 and all drivers loaded without error,  but the compile from sources was not possible.   This clearly needs more work.

Funny thing that, as I am using the Ubuntu image and I was able to compile the software get the kernel modules in place correctly, I believe. But I never got /dev/video0. I wrote it off to my general lack of Linux expertise, but it seems at this point just as likely that I, along with most everyone else, just need to be patient while the talented folks iron out the kinks.

Thank you, that is precisely what we are doing, as I type, actually...   @lex has written up a completely new set of build instructions;  a couple of us are testing now with new images, and the results will be available sometime this weekend (be working on it again tomorrow).

Thanks for your patience and positive attitude; it helps a lot, and soon the kinks will be behind us.
