| ## Firmware extraction | |
| Download the driver (zip version) and extract it by following these steps: | |
| * Clone the git repository with `$ git clone https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie.git` | |
| * Change to the firmware directory with `$ cd bcwc_pcie/firmware` | |
| * Under bcwc_pcie-master/firmware type `$ make` and then as root type `# make install` | |
| * Result should be like: | |
| ``` | |
| $ make | |
| Dowloading the driver, please wait... | |

| ## Installation |
Get Started on Fedora
Tested on Fedora 23. - Extract firmware file as described in Firmware extraction
- Become root
sudo su - - Install packages kernel-devel (if you installed the Wireless Card driver, you likely already have it):
dnf install kernel-devel - Clone the driver's code:
git clone https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie.git - Change into directory:
cd bcwc_pcie - Build the kernel module:
make - Install the kernel module:
make install - Run
depmod - Load the module:
modprobe facetimehd - Check if all relevant modules are loaded:
lsmod | grep facetimehd
Everything should load fine. Check with command dmesg, the main driver should have loaded and ignore the error about the missing .dat file in the firmware directory (these are the calibration files, we do not have them yet).
Time for testing: launch Cheese and enjoy your own smily face :-)
To load the module in Fedora during startup
cd /etc/modules-load.d
echo "facetimehd" > facetimehd.conf
If you screw up
Go to the folder containing facetimehd.ko adn try:
modprobe v4l2-common
modprobe videobuf2-dma-sg
modprobe videobuf2-core
rmmod facetimehd
modprobe -r bdc_pci
insmod ./facetimehd.ko dyndbg==pmf
dmesg
get AppleCameraInterface
copy to bcwc_pcie/firmware
make
make install
cd ..
make clean
make
make install
Thanks for the replies:
I was not able to find the needed packages pbzx and xar to extract the driver from .dmg. But I managed to extract the firmware as follows:
I added the following lines to extract-firmware.sh:
hash_drv_osx_143_2='387097b5133e980196ac51504a60ae1ad8bab736eb0070a55774925ca0194892'
hash_fw_osx_143_2='504fcf1565bf10d61b31a12511226ae51991fb55d480f82de202a2f7ee9c966e'
After this, the installation worked right away ;-)
Thanks a lot for the working camera!!!
