Hi, I am currently doing a r276295 -> r278801 update on my Pi, I noticed there is now VCHIQ interface in sources. Do we have any example how this interface could be used? I would like to be able to use my raspberry camera under FreeBSD, but I did not find anything done, however. I am able to rebuild raspistill et al. from sources available at https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland under raspbian linux, and would like to be able to do something similar for FreeBSD. Also, there is python interface for this device available at http://www.raspberrypi.org/picamera-pure-python-interface-for-camera-module/ and I am able to build this one on my favorite OS, but this is not yet a complete solution - both 'userland' C sources and picamera python scripts uses mmal interface, which seems like not being available yet for FreeBSD. My understanding is out VCHIQ interface was somehow ported from 'userland' git repository, so it should be doable to port mmal interface similarly, but as I have no idea how VCHIQ was done, I have no idea how mmal interface could be ported. Is here anyone who could help me with this task? Any pointers for more info about this? Regards, Milan
