Have you tried with root permissions? 

Also give the latest 8.0beta5 a test.   That is using the latest 4.4.19 kernel.

Finally came across a TC forum link:

http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=20220.0

Someone with a zero was able to clone the official Raspberry Pi firmware repository:

https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware

and build a TCZ with the contents of "/hardfp/opt/vc"

I got really excited, clone the repo built the TCZ, generated the checksum and tried it... :( I'm still getting:

supported=0

from:

vcgencmd get_camera
Tiny core rocks!

Finally... success!

While I wasn't able to get the current PiCore 7 stable release to work with the camera on my zero, I was able to get the latest PiCore 8 release candidate and add the rpi-vc.tcz package from the 7 repo. After doing this, vcgencmd get_camera reports supported=1 detected=1! And alas raspistill takes a picture!

I've only been using the PiCore RC 8 for a short time, but it appears to be stable. My RT8188CUS wifi dongle is working well with the rtl firmware package.

Thanks again to the TC team. Tiny core is awesome!

Thanks for the feedback. It looks really stable and uptudate both in kernel and core components, so it will turn to final soon.
