Errors when using tools, does not output files. [RPI 4B + IMX219]

[ruzko]

Expected behaviour All commands execute without errors, and outputs files according to parameters.

Actual behaviour Commands give errors and fail to output anything.

vcgencmd get_camera
supported=0 detected=0, libcamera interfaces=0

It seems the camera module may have died, and that's causing the errors. Will try again with a fresh image and see if it persists. Closing this issue until the camera is confirmed functional

[6by9]

Reporting supported=0 on a Pi4 implies you've disabled the camera stack totally. What does vcgencmd version report?

[ruzko]

Ran a fresh image of raspbian buster with kernel 5.10. Verified that raspistill works and raspiraw produces the same errors, so I'm reopening the issue.

On this new image, vcgencmd version reports

Dec  1 2021 15:02:46
Copyright (c) 2012 Broadcom
version 71bd3109023a0c8575585ba87cbb374d2eeb038f (clean) (release) (start_x)

On a side note, using this fresh image, vcgencmd reports supported=1 detected=1 , so it's likely as you say that I misconfigured the previous OS image.

[ruzko]

I managed to get some files! I needed to:

1. install these packages: libgstreamer1.0 gstreamer-tools gstreamer1.0-plugins-good ffmpeg
2. remove some command line options from the tools scripts ( --height xxx --top 0 --vinc 17) because of error message that imx219 does not support manual cropping
3. change rm -f /dev/shm/out.*.raw to rm -f /dev/shm/*

The capture frame rate is still unpredictable and frame drops rampant, does removing manual cropping from the command line options limit control of framerate?
