Camera test on Phosh

[edge]

Any information on the driver used for camera access?

On Mobian, only /dev/video1 claims video capture capability via the sun6i driver and no controls are reported.

Code:

mobian@mobian:~$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
cedrus (platform:cedrus):
/dev/video0
/dev/media0

sun6i-csi (platform:csi):
/dev/video1

mobian@mobian:~$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -D
