  2. Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made?
    I tried refollowing the guide and reinstalled the driver/libcamera/apps.
    libcamera-hello --list gives:

I also went through FAQ for imx519 and did not find a solution.

  1. What help do you need?
    The camera was working, started another project and now am back to this project. Now it gives me the above error.

It looks like the camera is being occupied, did your previous project use a streaming service like octopi.

Well, I was stumped. It’s been so long since I’ve worked on this project, I forgot I had a crontab setup to run a script at startup. Sorry for the wasted forum bandwidth.

Side question, I had built from source the official libcamera/apps for an Ubuntu 22.04 distribution (so not the Arducam version of libcamera). Is it true that we must use Arducam version for IMX519 to work properly? Currently when trying to use it with ubuntu it says:

 WARN IPARPI raspberrypi.cpp:801 Could not set AF_MODE - no AF algorithm
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

and then there is a core file created. According to RPi forums:

Unfortunately Arducam haven’t upstreamed the latest support for IMX519 to the main libcamera branch, so rebuilding isn’t really an option.
Please complain to Arducam about that as there is nothing anyone else can do about it.

We are working on this, until then, you can try it with our fully open source code.
