Dear all :
This is my platform :
F.W -> s5p6818-lubuntu-desktop-xenial-4.4-armhf-20180324.img (ubuntu)
H.W -> Nano PC T3 + CAM500B

Base on this combination, I do not find camera device node "/dev/ion" or "/dev/video0"
How 2 solve it ?

Many Thanks

There is no support for ov5640 on kernel 4.4, you should use kernel 3.4 instead of 4.4.
Kernel 3.4 has support for CAM500B.
There was a preliminary support for ov5640 on kernel 4.14 but seems to be halted or postponed. I have tried to enable ov5640 support on 4.4 without much success.
