I’m using CHUWI Hi10Max with Ubuntu 24.04,
everything works fine except both internal cameras.
External camera connecting from USB is fine.
The only question is, what is the model of PCI / USB of the internal cameras,
so that I can build the driver from source code. Thank you.
these are the commands I enter to check what device ID my camera has, and if it’s working:
ed@chuwi-tw:~> lsusb | grep amera
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1bcf:2ced Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc. Hy HD Camera
ed@chuwi-tw:~> dmesg | grep amera
[ 2.702796] [ T60] usb 1-5: Product: Hy HD Camera
[ 4.851683] [ T603] usb 1-5: Found UVC 1.00 device Hy HD Camera (1bcf:2ced)
Thank you very much, I think my tablet seems to have a problem of e.g. cable disconnect, so I will open the cover and check it to night. Thanks again.
Is it easy to open the cover and replace the SSD?
Cheers, Jaap
It is not easy, at least for me,but I will let everyone in this forum know from this post.
there is already news?
Linux Mint 22 works great on the Hi 10-Max. Only two items missing : the rotation and cameras. As soon as I can identify these inner components, I attempt to write some drivers for both.
On Fedora (KDE), almost everything work great, screen rotation too, but as previous messages no cameras. lsusb | grep camera and dmesg | grep camera return nothing
linux is case sensitive, you should try “lsusb | grep amera”
I’ll be following along with interest. I also see no sign of the camera using lsusb or on /dev/video.
I installed Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (24.10 and Fedora 41 failed to boot from internal storage but booted fine from USB) and merely had to add the following Gnome-extensions:
To make touch keyboard work everywhere: GJS OSK (GitHub - Vishram1123/gjs-osk: A (marginally) better on screen keyboard for GNOME 42+).
To make rotation work: Screen Rotate (GitHub - shyzus/gnome-shell-extension-screen-autorotate: Enable screen rotation regardless of touch mode) with orientation offset set to “1”.
According to the Techradar review, the images taken during review reveal the rear sensor to be Galaxycore Microelectronics GC8034.
Yes, this is correct but, my attempt to write a Linux driver for this item has failed. Still researching and will continue to work on the problem.
