Problems you were having.
initially there were no cameras detected, then i got input/output error, and now with bullseye this is the closest i’ve gotten
Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made.
different OS, different hardware, check cables, different order of installing apps, restart, different power cables/PSUs
What help do you need?
I want the hardware I bought to work.
I’m getting this error in the terminal
ERROR IPARPI cam_helper.cpp:180 Embedded data buffer parsing failed
There is a problem with the camera, or the camera is not a module in the Quad-HAT kit.
Can you provide a picture of the relevant hardware connection for this? Preferably with details on the back of the camera (the case needs to be removed for this)
Thank you so much for the help Wong! Installing the low speed drivers got an image output, but I’m still getting errors in the terminal while the preview is running

Still capture image received
Switching to single channel mode also works, but still gives me the same errors in the terminal.
If you don’t want to flash the system again, maybe you can tell me your current system, I can update the old version of libcamera installation package.
I am having the same issue of purple static using a fresh Raspbian Bullseye installation and lib camera 0.0.10 with the quadhat. You can actually see a little bit of the real world image behind the purple static, so it’s partially functional (see pic).
I don’t get many error messages when running libcamera-still -t 0, so not sure how to resolve:

As an update, I made a second attempt by flashing a clean SD card with latest Raspbian, switching to another quad camera system purchased from same supplier above, and following the instructions on this forum for Install_pivariety_pkgs.sh.
Now, I get only a black image.
During still image capture, I get:

I am having the same issue with a Raspberry PI 3b.
However, I can only get output in single channel and dual channel mode, never in quad mode, and always with the purple static.
I have an ongoing e-mail thread where Arducam has offered remote help but it’s really hard to find a time that works for both of us timezone-wise so if there’s any lessons learned it would be great if they could be shared here!
Hi Eerikh,
We tested it yesterday, and now there is a solution to settle for second best. Please burn your Raspberry Pi OS to the version in the link below(Bullseye 2022-1-28 release). Then reinstall the camera driver and test the libcamera command. https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_armhf/images/raspios_armhf-2022-01-28/
I am using a raspberry pi 4B and also encountered a similar problem, a solution to this would be using an raspbian bullseye img specifically the Bullseye 2022-1-28 release and following the guide for the installation as mentioned by @Dion in the thread bellow
