Issue with installing Datapath Vision Drivers

finw · 2024-10-04 20:49:38

Hello

I'm not sure what is going on with my drivers. Is anyone able to help me with this please?

Just some more info, there was a github package called vcs however it seems to be removed.

The incompatible pointer type appears to be the problem.

Where did you get the sourcecode from ?

finw · 2024-10-05 23:00:15

The best way I can answer this is that I grabbed it from the official website.

Lone_Wolf · 2024-10-06 18:11:04

That mentions just 2 kernels in the 6.x range , both ubuntu versions .

Have the drivers ever worked on archlinux and if so, what was the highest kernel version they worked with ?

finw · 2025-03-10 00:37:53

Sorry for the extremely late reply. Unfortunately none of them have been able to install successfully. I'm trying to go through the source code to see if there are any dependencies I'm missing thats causing it to not install properly. I can try to post a log file if that might help something here.

On second thought, is there by chance this can be moved over to the "Kernel & Hardware" forum please? I do not think this is a newbie corner question.

Lone_Wolf · 2025-03-11 11:08:05

I agree it suits Kernel & hardware forum better, next time you want something moved use the report button to alert all moderators .

Moving to K&H subboard

Checked datapath vison compatibility
and the last time they supported any non-ubuntu kernel was with linux 3.x .

src/rgb133.c:3226:7: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pci_set_dma_mask’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

Sanity check : is linux-zen-headers installed ?

finw · 2025-03-30 17:01:28

Hello.
Sorry for the insanely late reply. I am using the zen kernel because I also play Osu, and it requires the zen kernel unfortunately. The only way I think this could work is by rerouting a bunch of the code to reach the dependencies on this distro vs on ubuntu, but thats my best guess.

Also I just realized I didn't answer your question. Yes, it is installed.

The incompatible pointer type used to be a warning, but was changed into an error in gcc14 .

Correcting it requires changes to the sourcecode which may not happen until upstream / ubuntu release a version that supports gcc 14 .

Arch does still have a gcc 13 package in repos, try building with that version .

loqs · 2025-04-01 14:18:18

Incompatible pointers can be worked around with '-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types' however the implicit function declaration due to functions being removed from the kernel such as pci_set_dma_mask which needs to be replaced by dma_set_mask needs the source to be patched to support newer kernels.

Unfortunately I'm not too sure how to redirect the compiler to gcc13. Lol any help on that by chance? ^^;

You're an Arch user, it's in the wiki. Please do research first for any questions you have.

Ok, well unfortunetly this didn't work. I'll have to wait till something comes out then.

mackin_cheese · 2025-04-08 16:50:24

oh boy that's not good. what errors did you get when trying to build with gcc 13?

Apart from using gcc13 , try building against an older kernel like linux-lts66 from aur .
Its version number is below that of the latest supported ubuntu kernel.

finw · 2025-07-10 16:50:37

Hello, I just want to quickly update this, unfortunately I can confirm that this is an issue with the latest linux kernel and I would need to either wait for the company to make a driver update, figure out a way to rewrite the code so that it works with the latest kernel since it looks like a lot of the source code can be rewritten, or figure out a way to install the driver via an ubuntu install and make it to where the module gets updated via dkms. Unfortunately my brain is too smooth brained to figure that out for myself, even when I try to look it up via the wiki. It looks like there is a Magewell capture card aur driver that works with dkms, so I might buy one of those cards and use the aur package instead.
