/dev/video0 not found

[greenwoodms06]

I was following the guide below and was having issues with /dev/video0 not existing.

Doing some searching I found a raspberrypi.org forum that suggested adding the following. This seemed to fixed the issue. Thought I would share in case this was useful.

Edit this file

sudo vim /boot/config.txt

Then add the following lines to the bottom and save and quit

gpu_mem=128
start_x=1

Then reboot

sudo reboot

ls /dev/video0 was then successful and the video worked as specified in the directions.
