The csi camera on the debian image with kernel 3.4.79+ from olimex doesn't work. To make it works, we need to change the configuration in script.bin and /etc/modules. We must convert script.bin to script.fex using bin2fex tools to change the configuration. olimex@a20-Lime2-SOM:~$ bin2fex script.bin script.fex We will have script.fex file after that command. Open the file and change the value as below: ... [csi0_para] csi_used = 1 ... Convert back script.fex to script.bin. olimex@a20-Lime2-SOM:~$ fex2bin script.fex script.bin Add the following value in the /etc/modules file: gt2005 sun4i_csi0 i2c_addr=0x78 ccm="gt2005" After that, we can reboot the board. Wait a couple second, and voila...the csi camera will now work. But there is still error message from the kernel log as follow: [CSI_ERR]input index invalid! Nevertheless, the csi camera works fine, if someone know how to solve this error, please let me know.

The USB stick doesn't automatically recognized by the Cubieboard1 linux sdcard image. You must compile the kernel and enable em28xx config as module. Here is the example of working config file for this stick and compiled kernel and module. 1. config . 2. uImage . 3. kernel-module . To install above kernel or if you want to compile the kernel yourself, please follow this instruction from this website . We also need a firmware for the stick, download  dvb-usb-terratec-htc-stick-drxk.fw from here and put in /lib/firmware directory.

Because my TV is used mainly for watching. I need an alternative display output for my cubieboard. The easiest way is using CVBS pin, and attach it to RCA jack to connect to video input. But I don't have another display with video in, so I need to built VGA out for the cubieboard. Component needed : 3 x 75 ohm low-tolerance resistors. 1 x 74ACT08D quad AND gate. 2 x bat54s SCHOTTKY diodes (I can't find it in my local store, so I change it with 4 x bat85s or any SCHOTTKY diodes). 1 x 100 nF low-tolerance capasitor. 1 x VGA DB15 connector.
