Hello!

Have somebody sucsesfully run the official[1] rpi camera on Fedora, aarch64?

I have f29 sucesfully running on pi 3B+  and the only glitch is my inability tu run cammera:(

Not yet, we do have the drivers enabled in 4.19 in rawhide, and
there's some changes in Fedora 29 which will allow us to use the
config.txt to enable HATs and hardware like the the camera. I've not
had the time to yet pull those bits together to actually test the
camera and fix the likely missing bits. I'm hoping to get to the final
pieces including the testing of it and the documentation on how to
enable it and actually make sure it works in the coming weeks. If
you're interested in helping out I can provide some details of how I
think it should work.

Thank you very much for kind answer. Btw, great work on aarch64 and small baords!

There is a question how to do this right. When I was playing with camera on rasbian, it was eating
enormous resources.  So it will not be enugh to jsut read config.txt but also adapt it in runtime.

Thus I ended with "dual boot" one with rasbian for camera only, and one with fully featured fedora.

Once the documentation is done, I will hlp with testing for sure.

Yes, there's a bunch of work done on a number of components here, the
Raspberry Pi has media acceleration engine and various other features
that will all assist this, the problem is a lot of these are focused
around the original not open source drivers, there's work being done
to enable the media acceleration at the same time as the camera.

Hmm,

uder some circumstance,  after few seconds every desktop X environment goes "non drawing"
Wen I installed fluxbox, it worked like a charm
When I add, or install as alon, any "bigger one" - (mate, xfce), it goes non drawing, and it even
prevent fluxbox from proepr work.
* First few minutes (sometimes only seconds) it works like charm
* then the gui stop to draw
  * however it responds
    *if you click to menu, nothing show,
    * but if you click any program, again nothing show, but progream starts
    * even cursor changes when it goes over the running, invisible program
    * the program responds (but agian, ntohingis visible)

Can it be messa issue? Do you have some advice about display drivers please?

One moreupdate:
 it looks like resposnible is:
    Install mesa-dri-drivers-18.2.2-1.fc29.aarch64       @fedora
    Install mesa-filesystem-18.2.2-1.fc29.aarch64        @fedora

one of those is also likely guilty:
 compiler-rt aarch64   7.0.0-1.fc29                       fedora       2.4 M
 libomp                      aarch64   7.0.0-1.fc29                       fedora           247 k
 mesa-dri-drivers            aarch64   18.2.2-1.fc29                      fedora            11 M
 mesa-libOpenCL              aarch64   18.2.2-1.fc29                      fedora           278 k
 pocl                        aarch64   1.2-0.2.rc1.fc29                   fedora           1.8 M
 qt5-qtwayland               aarch64   5.11.1-2.fc29                      fedora           772 k

And looking to the intersection:
 mesa-dri-drivers

is most likely the winner:(

Sorry for confussion and mixing topics. I had filled a:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1643484 for its tracking.

Slim is really dummy login manager, I had originally suspicion that theissue is hidden here.

I presume it's Xorg and not Wayland based? It still could be an issue
with slim. the RPi driver is a 3D accelerated only driver, the 2D Xorg
stuff is emulated via glamor. By removing mesa drivers you're
basically going from a fully accelerated driver to a blitted frame
buffer. Have you tried lightdm, it seems to work reasonably well with
that.

To follow up on this there's been a patch series posted that looks to
massively improve the upstream support for the camera, it depends on
two other patch series that also massively improved other components
around media/sound/camera. At this time the earliest they will likely
land upstream in 4.21 kernel.

Thank you very muc for information. I'm really looking forward for the docs you described above, and
for try it.

Thanx a lot for details.
