Radxa Camera 8M don't work

[nerbivol]

System Configuration

I use Radxa Camera 8M and choose Raspberry Pi Camera V2 (because Radxa Camera 8M does not exist in rsetup). In the file /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf, the code is as follows:

What is the result when you run rsetup - Hardware - Video capture devices? It should save a picture under /root/ folder.

[nerbivol]

and output in terminal

[nerbivol]

Hardware connections are as follows:

[RadxaYuntian]

I forgot there was an issue in currently released rsetup regarding camera test. It was fixed in 0.4.6 but it is not released yet.

We will take a look at this.

[nerbivol]

Code for update to 0.4.6 version:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends .
sudo apt-get install git-buildpackage

wget https://github.com/radxa-pkg/rsetup/releases/download/0.4.6/rsetup_0.4.6_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i rsetup_0.4.6_all.deb 

And results from rsetup video capture

Otput from terminal:

I have a similar problem, the camera from Radxa does not want to connect to the Radxa zero W3 board, which is a very strange problem, given that the software is from the same manufacturer @RadxaYuntian

[Radxa-Alvin]

Please run the following command to see it，check whether the camera is mounted successfully sudo dmesg | grep imx

[nerbivol]

radxa@radxa-zero3:~$ sudo dmesg | grep imx

[sudo] password for radxa:

[Radxa-Alvin]

It looks like the camera didn't load properly.Need to check whether the cable and camera are normal.

[nerbivol]

It seems the camera isn't working. The cable is connected as shown in the documentation (we've also tried different connections and cables), but we haven't had any success. Do you have functional Radxa camera and Radxa ZERO 3w board units?

[nerbivol]

Please run the following command to see it，check whether the camera is mounted successfully sudo dmesg | grep imx

radxa@radxa-zero3:~$ sudo dmesg | grep imx
[sudo] password for radxa:

@Radxa-Alvin does this mean I have a properly connected camera?

[nerbivol]

Update for Current State:

I am encountering multiple errors when executing certain commands on my Radxa Zero 3 device.

Command 1:

radxa@radxa-zero3:~$ sudo rsetup
[sudo] password for radxa:

Command 2:

• I do not encounter errors here, but when I press Ctrl+C to take a picture, the photo is not saved in /home/radxa/test.jpg.

Command 3:

Please let me know if you need more details or further clarification.

[nerbivol]

Can I get any advice or suggestions to help resolve these issues?

[RadxaYuntian]

Can you please take a picture of the back of your ZERO 3? Focus on the CSI connector.

[nerbivol]

[RadxaYuntian]

We recently found out that some ZERO 3 uses the wrong CSI connector, which is the one you are having. Those systems will need a different CSI cable, which we plan to provide to the affected customer free of charge. For now please disconnect the camera from ZERO 3 to avoid potential malfunction due to incompatible cable.

Do you happen to still have the card box around? We'd like to check the serial number to determine the affected batch.

[nerbivol]

[RadxaYuntian]

Thanks, and I assume both are having camera issue right?

[nerbivol]

Yes

[RadxaYuntian]

Thanks. I'll contact you again once the cable is ready.

[nerbivol]

Can you provide an approximate waiting time for cable production?

[RadxaYuntian]

We just verified the sample working on the affected ZERO 3. We now placed the full production order.

[nerbivol]

Understood. Thank you for your quick response. I look forward to further updates from you

[RadxaYuntian]

Hi nerbivol. The special CSI cable is now ready. Please send your shipping info to support@radxa.com as well as the quantity of affected ZERO 3. We will arrange the shipping to you shortly.

[nerbivol]

We've received the special CSI cable, and I'm happy to report that the camera is working perfectly.
