IMX519 is confusing #47

surak commented 11 months ago

The install_pivariety_pkgs.sh fails at the beginning, and all it does is to say that the driver is already there and does not need to be installed.

The git repo for the pivariety in GitHub - ArduCAM/Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver: This driver is used for Arducam mipi camera with Pivariety board points to GitHub - ArduCAM/IMX519_AK7375, but this fails completely to compile.

Could one show how to make this camera work on a clean install of Bookworm on a Pi 5?

Thanks!

Hi, a bit late, but:

  1. Go to https://github.com/ArduCAM/Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver/releases/ and download latest .deb packages of:

    • libcamera
    • libcamera-dev
    • libcamera-ipa
    • rpicam-apps (in the next release libcamera-apps)

  2. install these .deb packages manually via `sudo apt install ./libcam....deb. It will also install some dependencies, don't worry

  3. download file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ArduCAM/libcamera/arducam/src/ipa/rpi/pisp/data/imx519.json and replace this file: /usr/share/libcamera/ipa/rpi/pisp/imx519.json with the downloaded one

Optional step for faster and more reliable autofocus, but first try the default settings if it matches your usage. If you need faster autofocus, then modify replaced imx519.json file in /usr/share/... directory. At the end of the file, there is section "rpi.af". Set these values under "speeds" -> "normal" section:

"step_coarse": 1.0,
"step_fine": 0.025,
"step_frames": 1

Note that autofocus is still not as good as with RPI 4, but it is good enough. I recommend using manual trigger autofocus, sometimes the automatic one does not trigger itself.

  1. /boot/firmware/config.txt: comment out line camera_auto_detect=1, we don't want that. Under [all], insert: 
    dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-512
dtoverlay=imx519,cam0

(please note that cam0 or cam1 is the actual port on RPI5, where you have attached your camera)

after reboot, test with rpicam-hello --list-cameras, test autofocus with rpicam-hello -t 0 or photo with rpicam-still -o test.jpg

Hi @Kocicak! Thanks for your reply. But I have some problems:

The drivers are for bullseye, not bookworm, which I am using. And the versions on raspberry os are way newer:

ii  libcamera-apps                        1.4.4-1                              all          transitional package

When using lib camera on python, I get an error with the autofocus:

Do you think this camera will ever get support on raspberry pi 5 / bookworm or we should stop buying arducam and go for the official ones?

Hi, it is working in latest rpi os bookworm, I am using it myself. You have to download latest files from releases. Ignore packages from bullseye. Packages to install on bookworm are:

https://github.com/ArduCAM/Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver/releases/download/libcamera-v0.0.5/libcamera-dev_0.2.0+rpt20240424-1_arm64.deb

https://github.com/ArduCAM/Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver/releases/download/libcamera-v0.0.5/libcamera-ipa_0.2.0+rpt20240424-1_arm64.deb

https://github.com/ArduCAM/Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver/releases/download/libcamera-v0.0.5/libcamera0.2_0.2.0+rpt20240424-1_arm64.deb

https://github.com/ArduCAM/Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver/releases/download/libcamera-apps-v0.0.5/rpicam-apps_1.4.4-2_arm64.deb

these are the latest now. Download and install these 4 debs and autofocus will be working.
