Problems you were having?
I have not been able to get the latest OS to detect cameras but the 01/28/2022 OS did detect cameras, i can see preview and shoot pictures. But this OS only detects all 4 cameras as 1 camera, would like to control them separately. -
The dmesg log from your hardware?
[email protected]:~ $ dmesg | grep -E “imx477|imx219|arducam”
[ 8.922032] arducam_64mp 0-001a: failed to read chip id 682, with error -5
[ 8.935997] arducam_64mp: probe of 0-001a failed with error -5
[ 8.949747] arducam_64mp 10-001a: Device found Arducam 64MP.
[ 8.967236] arducam_64mp 10-001a: Consider updating driver arducam_64mp to match on endpoints -
Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made?
I tried for serveral days with different guides and trial and error what to write to the /boot/config.txt on latest RPI OS but couldnt even get it to detect cameras at all, eventually flashed CM4 with OS version described in offical product pdf and was able to get something to work. -
What help do you need?
I need help getting the cameras detected separately on this older os. and getting things to work on latest RPI OS.
This is my boot config:
Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2
uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2
#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800
Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces
#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on
Uncomment this to enable infrared communication.
#dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=17
#dtoverlay=gpio-ir-tx,gpio_pin=18
Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README
Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
dtparam=audio=on
Automatically load overlays for detected cameras
camera_auto_detect=1
Automatically load overlays for detected DSI displays
display_auto_detect=1
Disable compensation for displays with overscan
disable_overscan=1
[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.

Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details
uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default “safe” mode
#hdmi_safe=1
uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16
uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display’s size minus
overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720
uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1
uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1
uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=2
uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
no display
#config_hdmi_boost=4
uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2
#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800

This is a log i made to explain what i have done:
Hardware:
RPI4
Compute Module 4 (Arducam UC-512 Rev.D1)
Four ArduCam 64Mp Autofocus cameras UC-923, M1305 S, 810 IMX written on board and chip
SKU: MBS-SES-256
GTIN: 0618455044205
Software:
raspios bullseye
kernel 5.10.96-v7l+
- Flashed 01/28/2022 OS from raspery website
the same version that was used for the guide - Connected 4 cameras to hat and connected the hat to RPI4, CAM0
- Booted, DID NOT make RPI update
- Enabled SSH with raspi-config just in case
- Installed gnome-screenshot after which mouse and keybaord stopped working so i used ssh
- Followed the guide
until
[email protected]:~ $ libcamera-still --list-cameras
No cameras available!
After boot
[email protected]:~ $ libcamera-still --list-cameras
No cameras available!
After connecting hat to CAM1 and disconnecting USB hub to connect mouse and keyboard so i can use them then rebooting software was able to detect 1 camera.

It only shows one camera detected but when i launch preview I can see preview of all 4 cameras.
