No more 64MP camera detected on my pi5

Hello

Everything was working fine between my raspberry Pi 5 and my arducam 64MP, I was doing a program in SSH; previewing and remote capture which was working fine except for the autofocus which was done only once and not really continuously (it didn’t adjust if I approached an object or something).
After a change in my raspberry installation to try to solve this problem, the cam stopped being recognized in any harware modification…

I ended up redoing an os installation and again followed the instructions in the arducam guide for the installation.
Despite this, I still haven’t detected any cams!

The problem didn’t appear after reconnecting but after system modifications, so I was thinking of that at first, but after installing my bone, I’m afraid of something else. I sometimes reconnected my camera while the raspberry was on (I didn’t know not to do it). But as I said, the problem has arisen outside of any hardware manipulation.

The camera and raspberry are new…

Arducam have never upstreamed support for this sensor in our libcamera tree. You have likely installed some Adrucam custom packages to have this sernsor working - which have now been overriden by the Raspberry Pi packages during an update.

Please speak to Arducam to enable this sensor again with our updated packages.

Help ^^

This stopped working for me yesterday, I did a sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade and once it had finished, my Arducam64mp was no longer listed. This happened a few months ago also when a new version of LibCamera was released.

I’ve tried re-installing the arducam drivers, but it still doesn’t show.

Is there a quick way to resolve this? Can I roll back the libcamera drivers, or do I have to wait for Arducam to update the drivers?

I have been struggling with same issue for a whole day, could not make it work. I have brand new Raspberry PI 5, Arducam Hawkeye 64MP and freshly flashed 64Gb SD card with Raspberry OS, created by Imager on Ubuntu. On this fresh setup, both doing sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade or omiting it and then proceeding with exact steps from official docs, results in ERROR: *** no cameras available ***

Would love to post more details but I am getting 403 error when add link or more code details, dont know why.

Yes, editing message leads to 403 error actually, you have to answer to your post if you want to share details :wink:

I’m a little reassured that the problem is elsewhere after updates, but I hope arducam will come back to us soon for solutions! I’m blocked in my work! I guess it’s the same for you.

this fixed it for me - latest post from support
