Pi Zero 2 and IMX519 - Not Enough Buffers at landscape resolutions

  1. Where did you get the camera module(s)?
    Kickstarter

  2. Model number of the product(s)?
    High Resolution Autofocus Camera Module for Raspberry Pi by Arducam
    Raspberry Pi Zero 2

  3. What hardware/platform were you working on?
    Raspberry Pi OS Buster (Legacy), newest update

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

Also tried using vc4-kms-v3d,cma-96 and 128 in config.txt, as per the Libcamera & IMX519 FAQ

  1. Problems you were having?
    Running Libcamera at its default settings results in “Failed to allocate buffers”:

It fails when the width parameter is greater than the height parameter.

I attempted smaller standard resolutions, but even down to 640x480 it would fail.

Then by accident I mixed up height and width, and typed in:
libcamera-jpeg --width 1080 --height 1920 -o test.jpg

…and it worked! So, I tried, and every portrait resolution worked, up to 1802x2324 (absolute max before failing)

I tried to see how close the width and height can be, and with a width of 1080, I can get as low as a height of 1228 before it fails. 600 x 682 works as well.

This means that it fails at anything under a 1:1.137 ratio.

The 1802x2324 is a different ratio, 1:128, but it might just due to the size that it’s failing.

  1. The dmesg log from your hardware?
    Every failed attempt produced this:
    [ 2144.100678] cma: cma_alloc: alloc failed, req-size: 1516 pages, ret: -12
    [ 2144.100701] bcm2835-isp bcm2835-isp: dma_alloc_coherent of size 6209536 failed

  2. Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made?
    Attempted different resolution formats

  3. What help do you need?
    Any suggestions on getting it to take a landscape pictures would be great!

I am experiencing the same issue, except with the 64MP camera on a Pi 4 with 8GB RAM.

Did you ever find a solution to this?
