Hi,

It shows the hardware part of the camera is normal, isn’t it?
Interesting, on Bookworm OS, the config.txt file is moved to /boot/firmware/config.txt instead of /boot/config.txt on Bullseye OS. Hence,

echo "dtoverlay=imx519" | sudo tee -a /boot/config.txt

should be

echo "dtoverlay=imx519" | sudo tee -a /boot/firmware/config.txt

Hope it will help you.
