Coolpix 4300 Not Found on CHIP Linux

I want to control the Coolpix 4300 from this $9 single board computer. The camera shows up as:

Bus 001 Device 023: ID 04b0:010e Nikon Corp. Coolpix 4300 (storage)

But is not found by gphoto2 (version 2.5.4). The listing of supported cameras shows this camera supported in sierra mode, but the only USB modes that the camera configuration allows is storage and ptp.

I cannot unload the mass-storage driver on this computer. Is there any way to get gphoto2 to control this camera on this system?

Sierra mode on the Coolpix 4300 is "tunneled" through the Mass Storage mode.

So switch the camera to mass storage mode.

WHat does "gphoto2 --auto-detect" show? WHat does "gphoto2 --list-ports" show?

The USB or SCSI generic device might still need write permissions of your user,
or you can run as root if this is a small computer.

I am running as super-user and auto-detect doesn't find anything. Here is the output:

root@chip:~# lsusb | grep Nikon

Bus 001 Device 025: ID 04b0:010e Nikon Corp. Coolpix 4300 (storage)

root@chip:~# gphoto2 --auto-detect

Switch the camera to PTP and try again.

This camera works in PTP.

Re: Fwd: Coolpix 4300 Not Found on CHIP Linux

In PTP it is recognized but cannot be remote controlled. It produces the message Error ( -6 'Unsupported operation' ) in response to a --capture-image-and-download command.

And
gphoto2 --list-ports
?

Can you also run:
modprobe sg

and see if that changes gphoto2 --auto-detect output?

It should provide "usbscsi:" ports.

Re: Fwd: Coolpix 4300 Not Found on CHIP Linux

There are no "usbscsi:" ports reported. Only 4 serial (ttyS0 though ttyS3) and usb:001,003. Modprobe sg reports "Module sg not found".

Re: Fwd: Coolpix 4300 Not Found on CHIP Linux

Unfortunately, I have also just confirmed that my Nikon CP4300 camera does not respond properly in gphoto2 on the CHIP computer :(

I was comparing commands and responses at the same time with my regular desktop PC running Linux, so I knew what to expect when it works -- and the expected port entry was detected on the PC, but not on the CHIP computer:

Nikon CoolPix 4300 (Sierra Mode) usbscsi:/dev/sg4

Re: Fwd: Coolpix 4300 Not Found on CHIP Linux

Apparently this is due to the missing usbscsi (sg) driver in the built-in kernel. I have not found a way to add it to the kernel using modprobe and would love to hear if anyone has a way of adding this driver without building a new kernel.

Re: Fwd: Coolpix 4300 Not Found on CHIP Linux

Hmmm...interesting discovery! Sorry, I have no ideas myself how to remedy this situation. I think the best that can be done in the long run is to make the Next Thing technical team aware of this oversight so that the next kernel will include this :)

Hi,

If you have a newer libgphoto2 version it will use libusb again also
to speak USB SCSI to the camera.
