I am getting similar errors to nicoandresr, but these are occurring in the "Install DKMS modules" Pacman hook. The package builds just fine, but isn't installable.

@nicoandresr, I checked the build (makepkg) on a system with linux 6.1.12.arch1-1 and could not reproduce your issue; it builds fine.

I am actually using this driver on a machine running the 5.10.xxx-lts Linux kernel series. That works, too (including the build, which I do locally).

I'm getting this error on Kernel 6.1+

==> ERROR: Missing 6.1.6-arch1-3 kernel modules tree for module bcwc-pcie/0.5.18.r0.g75a2a58.

I solved my issue installing and switching to linux-lts kernel:

sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-headers-lts

I'm using systemd-boot instead of grub, so, I copy my boot loader entry with

sudo cp /boot/loader/entries/XXX.conf /boot/loader/entries/linux-lts.conf

XXX.conf is my only boot in that folder, so I copied it and changed it:

/vmlinuz-linux -> /vmlinuz-linux-lts
...
initrd /initramfs-linux.img -> /initramfs-linux-lts.img

I checked the list of boot entries with:

sudo bootctl list

I changed the default kernel with:

sudo bootctl set-default linux-lts.conf

reeboted my machine and I rebuild and installed this package again, my camera works after that!

thank you for making this package!!

PD. please add support for new kernel 6.1.

Thanks for making it work on 5.18

For those of you can't make on kernel version 5.18+, try https://github.com/ledisthebest/facetimehd instead. I added some fixes, works on my own Macbook Air 2013.

Edit(2022-06-03): Kudos to patjak, it just got fixed upstream, so my fix is no longer required: https://github.com/patjak/facetimehd/commit/75a2a5800aa46cbd679847b4d0863a5e3cef3b9e

Hi @kauron, thanks for the suggestion; done!

Hi there! Just a small suggestion for this package: the license could be set to GPL-2, according to the copyright headers in the source files. Thanks for maintaining this package!

Disown as I no longer have this hardware

graphicmist commented on 2020-04-17 19:25 (UTC)

as mentioned by @hali this worked for me. Thanks a lot.

Note this doesn't compile on 6.0 kernel due to this bug: https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/issues/205

As mentioned there (until fixed upstream) you can change the 3 ioremap_nocache() calls to ioremap() in /usr/src/bcwc-pcie-r242.ea832ac/fthd_drv.c and run sudo dkms install bcwc-pcie/r242.ea832ac and it is OK.

I'm trying to build on 5.6.4-arch1-1. I changed the ioremap_nocache calls but I still get a number of errors, ie.

/home/joe/.cache/yay/bcwc-pcie-git/src/bcwc-pcie-git/fthd_drv.c: In function ‘buf_t2h_handler’:
/home/joe/.cache/yay/bcwc-pcie-git/src/bcwc-pcie-git/fthd_drv.c:164:30: error: passing argument 1 of ‘fthd_buffer_return_handler’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
  164 |   fthd_buffer_return_handler(dev_priv, address & ~3, request_size);
      |                              ^~~~~~~~
      |                              |
      |                              struct fthd_private *

I see that repeated for several uses of the struct fthd_private * parameter. I get this error whether I run sudo dkms install ... or just make in my aur helper's cache directory (with the ioremap changes applied to the source).
