[Elphel-support] Back to life 313 camera

[Artem Astafyev]

Hi,

I moved to new apartments ans found Elphel 313 camera that I got during
contest man years ago.
It haven't been used for several years but now I want to use it for
security and attach to Zoneminder. But unfortunately I can't get it to
work. When I open camera's page it just stucks and I see the following in
terminal:

  PID USER     STATUS   RSS  PPID %CPU %MEM COMMAND

    3 root     SWN        0     1  0.0  0.0 [ksoftirqd_CPU0]

I've updated to latest available firmware version 6.2.29 but nothing has
changed.
It seems that ccam.cgi waits for something and eats all CPU time. I tried
instructions from wiki to fix stuck sensor but it gives weird results:

[root at ElphelCamera /]235# hello -IR ba 0
open returned - 3
i2c 16-bit register = ffffffff
devfd closed
[root at ElphelCamera /]235# hello -z
open returned - 3
Cam-sequencer state - 0,  count= 0

Does anybody know what else can I do to back it to life?
