This is with the v1 camera. I'm not yet sure if the problem happens with the v2 camera. I record an image every 1 second at the camera's maximum resolution of 2592x1944. I am using picamera. At first I thought the issue was with picamera because restarting the python interpreter would resolve the problem. After putting in some logic to restart python when this happens, I then still regularly reach a situation on multiple raspberry pis where the camera cannot be used by either raspistill or picamera without performing a reboot.\r\n\r\nMore details and some outputs of **vcdbg reloc** at various times can be found at this issue: https://github.com/waveform80/picamera/issues/242 .\r\n\r\nI'm pretty confident there is a problem with the camera module and/or firmware because a reboot is required for both raspistill and picamera, although there may also be a different problem with picamera that required the python interpreter to be restarted, or the same problem may just be triggering an earlier symptom in picamera. It's hard to tell without first getting the camera module and/or firmware working without ever requiring a reboot.\r\n\r\nI am using raspberry pi 2s. I did run rpi-update a few weeks ago and the problem still persisted. I have not yet done extensive testing on raspberry pi 3."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/comments/223269013","html_url":"https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/609#issuecomment-223269013","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/609","id":223269013,"user":{"login":"6by9","id":5822349,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5822349?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/6by9","html_url":"https://github.com/6by9","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/6by9/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/6by9/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/6by9/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/6by9/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/6by9/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/6by9/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/6by9/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/6by9/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/6by9/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-06-02T11:50:20Z","updated_at":"2016-06-02T11:50:20Z","body":"Do you actually have a simple test case that you can share?\r\n\r\nPlease add ```start_debug=1``` to /boot/config.txt, and post the output from ```sudo vcdbg log assert``` when it fails. ```sudo vcdbg malloc``` may also show something.\r\n\r\nYour vcdbg reloc outputs all look normal. \"Block\" is just referencing that there are 2 gaps in the heap, so 3 blocks of contiguous allocation.
