From 17eaf7c6e8dfcd76b4ed28587b07892e2a5a4ff5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Wahren Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2018 19:08:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] staging: bcm2835-camera: Add hint about possible faulty GPU mem config As per default the GPU memory config of the Raspberry Pi isn't sufficient for the camera usage. Even worse the bcm2835 camera doesn't provide a helpful error message in this case. So let's add a hint to point the user to the likely cause.
