    Pi B running Raspbrian

    I've had a Pi Cam hooked up to my Pi for a while now, and whilst it has
    only been used intermittently, it has worked. I've been able to run
    Motion and (from a Ubuntu box) vlc successfully.

    A few weeks back, I noticed that the camera was no longer working. I've
    now had time to do a bit of digging, and if I run :

    raspistill -o test.jpg

    I get :

    mmal: mmal_vc_component_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC
    mmal: camera component couldn't be enabled
    mmal: main: Failed to create camera component
    mmal: Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updates


    I've tried swapping the Pi Cam for another brand new one, and I still
    get the same result. Any suggestions as to where to look next ?

    Thanks

    Hello brother, finally i can solve this problem after a lot of hours troubleshooting.

    I already share it in my YouTube (https://youtu.be/on8UlkRvLok)

    This problem only occur in camera raspberry pi V2.1 (IMX219) from Element14. But in camera raspberry pi V2.1 from OKdo, i don't get this error

    So, the solution when error
    "mmal: mmal_vc_component_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC
    mmal: camera component couldn't be enabled
    mmal: main: Failed to create camera component
    mmal: Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updates"

    You need some initialization with a works camera (me camera from OKdo).
    So, the step is
    1. Plug your works camera to Raspberry Pi (me using Raspberry Pi 4B)
    2. Turn on your Raspberry Pi
    3. check
    "vcgencmd get_camera"
    to make sure your hardware is detected the camera
    4. capture image using
    "raspistill -v"
    and camera will capture the image
    5. Then replace the works camera with ENOSPC Error Camera (from Element14)
    6. then try to capture the image
    "raspistill -v"
    and the ENOSPC Error will not occur

    Notes:
    - But, after the ENOSPC Error Camera works, and then you restart/shutdown the raspberry pi, the error will occur again :(

    Thanks, in my case it was GPU memory too. I was at 128, I increased it to 228 and it worked perfectly. Hugs.
