Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made.
cables are ok, board is powered, verified installed drivers…
What help do you need?
how to debug this stereo-camarray setup on my pi4
it seems that there are issues communicating over i2c … but I’m not sure what can be the problem, the camarray is connected correclty…
I noticed the issues on the I2c so I double checked the connection and found it was a bit loose. So I pressed the board and now the dmesg log is clean … but still I have no camera showing up… and if I do a libcamera-hello I see the timeout on i2c in the log
