Hi,

were you able to run Arducam ToF Camera on Ubuntu 20.04 on Pi 4? I’m also planning to do the same. Could you please tell me how did it go?

Thank you for your reply. You’re right it did not work for me. The code was able to compile on Ubuntu 20.04 but it appeared that the device could not be detected. I ended up using Raspberry Pi Bullseye and it works as expected.
