Installing IMX519 libcamera drivers on RPi breaks RPi cam functionality

  1. Where did you get the camera module(s)?
    via kickstarter campaign → imx519, via raspberry pi foundation → imx219

  2. Model number of the product(s)?
    imx519, imx219

  3. What hardware/platform were you working on?
    Raspberry Pi 3B+ and Raspberry Pi 4

  4. Instructions you have followed. (link/manual/etc.)
    Raspberry Pi libcamera Guide - Arducam

  5. Problems you were having?
    I attach one camera at a time. The Arducam IMX519 works as expected. But after installing the custom drivers for the Arducam, the original pi camera does not work. In my use case, I need to have ONE raspbian image/setup, which supports both cameras (one at a time)

  6. The dmesg log from your hardware?
    pi@openscan2:~ $ dmesg

  1. Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made?
  • reinstalling the latest bullseye image
  • changing the camera module (imx219)
  • changing the raspberry pi between 3 and 4
  1. What help do you need?
    I need to be able to run both cameras (not at the same time) on one Raspberry Pi.

Hi @Openscan

Check this:
libcamera - switch back to the official camera.pdf (102.7 KB)

You are great! Thank you very much for your fast reply and overall great development service!!
I will immediately try your solution

I have checked and it works perfectly!

I am currently implementing a firmware to support as many cameras as possible. The user can change between the following:

dtoverlay=imx519
#dtoverlay=imx219
#dtoverlay=ov5647
#dtoverlay=imx477
#dtoverlay=imx290,clock-frequency=74250000
#dtoverlay=imx290,clock-frequency=74250000
#dtoverlay=imx378
#dtoverlay=ov9281

but I wonder if there are more cameras from Arducam that I could add, if so, please let me know which sensors are supported by the libcamera library (given the install link from my first post)

We also have a series called Pivariety, which currently supports IMX230, IMX298, IMX462, OV9281, OV2311, AR0234, etc., but they share the same driver, just need to add dtoverlay=arducam in /boot/config.txt:
