You should upgrade to a much more recent kernel, as the driver for the OMAP3 ISP included in the Angstrom 2.6.32 kernel is just bad legacy code that should be burried in a very deep cave. > I also found some rumors, that the Media Controller Framework or driver > provides the device node /dev/media0, but I was not able to install it. You will need to upgrade your kernel for that. I'd advise going for the latest mainline kernel. > I use OpenEmbedded, but I don't have a recipe for Media Controller.
