Thanks

I met same problem. But found that no u-boot is needed

1. upgraded camera via web interface by precompiled "lite" bin.
2. setup image sensor properly. I selected "4l_sc223a_i2c_1080p"

i missed creating first backup, that is not good. but i was lucky

Hi @Grundefuht that is interesting. Thanks for feedback.
I will keep issue open until someone finds pwd.
