  6. The dmesg log from your hardware?
    [ 38.896155] arducam_64mp 4-001a: Device found Arducam 64MP.
    [ 38.927124] rp1-cfe 1f00128000.csi: found subdevice /axi/pcie@120000/rp1/i2c@80000/arducam_64mp@1a
    [ 38.927148] rp1-cfe 1f00128000.csi: Using sensor arducam_64mp 4-001a for capture

  7. Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made? Reconnected cables, reversed directions, swapped cables, reinstalled software, updated kernel, checked this forum and installed json file to obtain arducam_64.json which gets wiped after updates, modified config.txt file per the manual and forum instructions.

  8. What help do you need? The *** no cameras available *** error is persistent after using this forum extensively. I need to get the libcamera software to recognize the camera.

Here’s my config.txt file:

For more options and information see

http://rptl.io/configtxt

Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces

#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on

Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)

dtparam=audio=on

Additional overlays and parameters are documented

/boot/firmware/overlays/README

Automatically load overlays for detected cameras

#camera_auto_detect=1
camera_auto_detect = 1

Automatically load overlays for detected DSI displays

display_auto_detect = 1

Automatically load initramfs files, if found

auto_initramfs=1

Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver

max_framebuffers=2

Don’t have the firmware create an initial video= setting in cmdline.txt.

Use the kernel’s default instead.

disable_fw_kms_setup=1

Run in 64-bit mode

#arm_64bit=1

Disable compensation for displays with overscan

disable_overscan=1

Run as fast as firmware / board allows

[cm4]

Enable host mode on the 2711 built-in XHCI USB controller.

This line should be removed if the legacy DWC2 controller is required

(e.g. for USB device mode) or if USB support is not required.

otg_mode=1

[all]
arm_boost=1
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-512
dtoverlay=arducam-64mp

whats your kernel version?
uname -a

ive seen in this forum several people after upgrading kernel arducam not work anymore.

Thanks for your response, I’m beginning to suspect the update is the problem.

6.6.20+rpt-rpi-2712

5

FIXED:

  • Flashed an SD card with Debian 6.6.20-1
  • re-installed the drivers per the instructions on the quickstart
  • modified the config.txt file with dtoverlay=arducam=64mp … save & reboot

Camera worked.
