IMX462 sensor with Raspberry Pi 5 #115

Open Olli781 opened 1 day ago

Olli781 commented 1 day ago

Hello everyone, I tried to run the following camera on a Raspberry Pi 5: innomaker Raspberry Pi industrial camera module, STARVIS IMX462

Due to the built-in sensor, the camera would be well suited for astrophotography. Unfortunately, the camera is not recognized despite the following entries in the config.txt:

Automatically load overlays for detected cameras

camera_auto_detect=0 dtoverlay=imx462,clock frequency=74250000

The standard camera with the IMX219 sensor is recognized without errors and works with the INDI Pylibcamera driver perfect. Is it possible in principle to operate the IMX62 sensor with Astroarch?

Thank you, Oliver

Hi @Olli781,

sensor support does not depends directly on the distribution but rather if libcamera supports it or not. Do you happen to know if that sensor should be supported out of the box?
