Autofocus not working; ERROR V4L2 with Bullseye, Lens initialization failed

[johnrichey]

Why do I get these errors when using the imx519 camera? I have tried everything to fix this and read through other postings on the forum but I can’t seem to resolve the issue.

Hi,
Do you use this imx519 camera module connecting to a Raspberry Pi 5 with the RPI official 22-15pin cable?

[johnrichey]

No I am using a Zero 2W.

[johnrichey]

I have also tried to get autofocus working on a pi4 and two different pi zero 2W.

[johnrichey]

I am using the following pkgs on a clean install of Bullseye.

rm -rf install_pivariety_pkgs.sh

wget -O install_pivariety_pkgs.sh https://github.com/ArduCAM/Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver/releases/download/install_script/install_pivariety_pkgs.sh

chmod +x ./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh

./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -l

./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p libcamera

./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p libcamera_apps

[johnrichey]

I get the same error on both pi4 and pi zero 2W.

Hi
Got it. The focus motor of this camera seems defective so the libcamera command keeps uploading the error log like

[0:00:46.322767155] [937] ERROR V4L2 v4l2_device.cpp:93 ‘ak7375 10-000c’: Failed to open V4L2 device ‘/dev/v4l-subdev1’: Invalid argument

I’ll email you later today. Please check your inbox when you are available.
