Hi arducam,
I found the new kernels have merged in support for imx519 and autofocus: dtoverlays: Add VCM option to imx519 · raspberrypi/linux@3d207e2 · GitHub
That is great! I added the focus algorithm section to imx519.json executed rpi-update to latest kernels 6.10 and autofocus is working great without needing any custom drivers.
You have any plans to merge updated tuning file and support for Pdaf in native libcamera also?
That would be a huge improvement!
I was asking for whether there are plans to merge your separate customization into the native libcamera branch. I would like to avoid installing separate packages via a script.
This is planned, but the actual time has not been confirmed yet, I will make a sticky announcement and continue to update the progress
Thats great news. There are some people discussing this over in raspi forum also: Autofocus in Libcamera (for Arducam 16MP camera) - Raspberry Pi Forums Would really be apreciated.
Okay.
We had a lot of shortcomings before, but we have been improving. User feedback is especially important.
I will update the thread below with any updates.
Yes, those are the tutorials I’ve been following.
I’ve also tried grabbing the latest build:
2023-03-22_2023-02-21-octopi-bullseye-armhf-lite-1.1.0.zip
I’ll give your custom build a shot, but believe I’ve tried in the past.
Hi i got same problem in arducam.
my camera : B0264
my system : raspberry pi 4B 64bit
my os : raspberry pi OS bullseye 6.1.23-v8 kernel
when i do “sudo ./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -d”
the system show me like below.
I did apt-update and apt-upgrade.
at 6.x ，you dont need use scrpt install camera drive.
just edit the config
sudo vi /boot/config.txt
add dtoverlay=arducam-pivariety in the last line.
then reboot and try again.
By the way, the libcamera stiil need to install
sudo ./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p libcamera
sudo ./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p libcamera_apps
Thanks for let me know!
but i still cant get any image TT
the error massage shows like below
camera just shows some ‘buzz’ images…
There doesn’t seem to be any authoritative documentation for the 64mp camera installation. I bumped into this by chance after spending an hour googling for information on how to install this camera.

You can refer to our documentation, we have made some distinctions for the kernel version.
https://docs.arducam.com/Raspberry-Pi-Camera/Native-camera/Quick-Start-Guide/#arducam-pi-hawk-eye-64mp-cameras
For 6.1.19 onwards, you only need to change the configuration file for the camera driver.
Ha! That did it. I had gone through so many iterations I had lost track of what is what. There is simply way too much bad information on the web, which must make your job insane.
I had that at some point in my config file. I think it was added by install_pivariety_pkgs.sh when using -d in one of the zillion times I tried something. It added it to the end of the file (under [all]) but it was commented off. I did uncomment it but it didn’t make any difference. I now realized that the added line was dtoverlay=arducam_64mp (underscore) instead of dtoverlay=arducam-64mp.
I just replaced the _ with an - and it is finally working!
Thank you!
Hey, I need some help cause I’m currently struggling with the “Quick Start Guide for Arducam CamArray HAT Kit”.
I’m trying to use a B0264 and B0331 products on a RPI 4B. However, for both of them, I get a freezed black screen while using the commands libcamera-hello libcamera-still etc.
Here is the process I followed:
Some more info about my situation, and demo of the issue…
Thanks !
@Edward
Of course there you go:
The system wasn’t under voltage while taking the pictures, but the red LED on the PCB turns well on.
I have tested the connections with an ohmmeter and everything looks ok.
By the way, a single camera like the B0392 (with « camera_auto_detect=0 » and « dtoverlay=imx219 ») works fine, so the issue seems to be coming from the array configuration.
Hello, I’m trying to install the arducam 64mp camera on my Raspberry Pi Zero. I’m struggling to understand which is the right procedure. This far this I’ve followed this guide:
up to Step 4: Modify Config file.
I tried to modify the file adding “dtoverlay=imx519” at the end, I tried alternatively to add “dtoverlay=arducam-64mp” and “dtoverlay=arducam-pivariety” as @Edward suggested to other users before.
I’m still getting a *** no camera available *** message whenever I try to use the camera with libcamera-hello
Any suggestions?
