Where did you get the camera module(s)?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09STL7S88/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00 -
Model number of the product(s).
Arducam 16MP Autofocus Raspberry Pi Camera Module with ABS Case, IMX519 -
What hardware/platform were you working on?
Raspberry Pi 4B, Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye Lite with XFCE for desktop -
Instructions you have followed. (link/manual/etc.)
Playing with code found on ArduCAM/Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver github repo, in the focus folder, as well as libcamera-vid commands called from subshells in python. Please see point 9 at the bottom for more details and links. -
Problems you were having.
At first/dev/v4l-subdev1node would always be created after/on boot. Now it is not anymore. This is an issue because I have code which tries to control the focus motor and it now crashes since/dev/v4l-subdev1handle is not created/valid. -

Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made.
Since I already dealt with setting up the drivers properly enough for this to work, I did not attempt to make any changes to any system config files. I’ve only tried basic rebooting, unplugging and re-plugging of the camera to the same port (in case it was a loose connection). -
What help do you need?
Does anyone know the reasons why this would happen? Why would/dev/v4l-subdev1suddenly stop showing up? My best guess at this point is it’s a hardware failure of some sort, since I already dealt with ensuring the right driver settings/overlays were setup and haven’t made changes to that since. The same code is still working fine on another mirror hardware test rig. Perhaps there is a hardware check I can do with a DMM on the camera module itself as well to probe its not due to ESD damage? Any advice/tips appreciated.
- Additional:
Relevant info from my original raspberrypi stackexchange post (where someone commented I should ask here):
I am using code from ArduCAM github repository “Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver” in the focus folder, namely Focuser.py and v4l2_utils.py. I would add the link here directly but am only allowed 2 links for this post (so you can find that repo link in my original raspberrypi stackexchange post). Specifically I am making use of: Focuser.py, and v4l2_utils.py, as-is. Then I have a custom script I wrote which makes leverages these two. Here are the most relevant snippets:
def main():
width = 640
height = 480
camera_start(width, height)
os.system('rm /run/shm/test*.jpg') # NECESSARY (not sure why yet)
time.sleep(2) # let camera warmup
target = 2000
print('target (focus): ', target)
focuser = Focuser('/dev/v4l-subdev1') # get motor control handle
focuser.set(Focuser.OPT_FOCUS, target)
and the camera_start function definition:
def camera_start(wx,hx):
print('starting camera')
global p
# -n --> without display
rpistr = "libcamera-vid -t 0 --segment 1 --codec mjpeg -n -o /run/shm/test%06d.jpg --width " + str(wx) + " --height " + str(hx)
# with display, for debugging (640,480)
# i.e test manually with: DISPLAY=:0 libcamera-vid -t 0 --segment 1 --codec mjpeg -o /run/shm/test%06d.jpg --width 640 --height 480
print(rpistr)
p = subprocess.Popen(rpistr, shell=True, preexec_fn=os.setsid)
Here is the traceback output when I get the error:
