I’m working on trying to get a set of imx462 cameras to work on the BlueOS distro from BlueRobotics. The actual OS is Raspbian bullseye running Kernel: Linux 5.10.33-v7l+. I’ve tried the quick start directions without any luck, I have updated the base OS to Kernel: Linux 6.1.21-v8+ and re did the directions and still nothing. If I run Libcamera-hello I get no cameras detected and /dev/video* doesn’t show it being detected.
Any ideas? I’m running out, and this is the last piece before we launch into our first set of field trials.
So, I figured this out, but I’m not sure if Arducam has fixed the issue. In/boot/config.txt, Uart1=enabled needs to be commented out, which breaks the Uarts but allows the module to load. I troubleshot this and contacted support, which replicated the issue, but I have heard nothing back from them other than them saying it was a bug. Can someone from support chime in I can’t seem to find any issues through Github now that it’s merged with the kernel.
Hi
To be honest, we are still investigating this issue. I understand it may cause inconvenience to you and I apologize for that.
I just discussed this matter with my colleague yesterday, and we are curious about how the serial port could influence the camera driver.
I don’t know how your driver functions internally. I am using this in the intended application and it doesn’t seem like it is compatible with robotics applications that uses uarts… which is most of them.
Hi @AnROV
I’m thrilled to say that this problem is resolved!

You just need to add the sentence dtparam=i2c_vc=on,i2c_vc_baudrate=50000 in the config.txt file and reboot your Pi to take effect.
