At the time of this writing, this camera is just dead weight on my desk due to compatibility issues with the OFFICIALLY supported operating system, Bookworm. In 5 months, Bullseye, which Dion has stated is the only supported operating system for this camera, will be EOL. If there are no plans for this, I intend on immediately returning this camera as it will be completely useless.
I have the same problem.
And when I posted on this two days ago, including details, my post was marked as “hidden” by a bot, until a human could review it.
I, too, am thinking of returning the camera; the advertising on the Amazon ad was definitely “false” in terms of Pi5 compatibility.
…I have a project for which this is a blocker, and I will likely have to use an inferior camera.
64mp arducam hawkeye camera works fine on my Pi4 and Pi5 Bookworm OS. I have tested it with both lite & desktop versions. full version i have not tested as i dont need it.
Here are the steps i did to get it working:
What did you do to get this working? Those instructions won’t work because /boot/config doesn’t get read from on bookworm currently. there are probably other things that are different from the other Debian distros that make this non working too. I already tried these instructions and it doesn’t work.
it worked for me because in my bookworm OS there already was symlink /boot/config.txt → /boot/firmware/config.txt so when opened /boot/config.txt with nano the /boot/firmware/config.txt was actually edited
well then if it still not work for you then post the error you are getting and post contents of your config.txt file
