RPi5 Doesn't Recognize IMX477

  1. Where did you get the camera module(s)?
    IMX477 from Amazon
  2. Model number of the product(s)?
    See (1)
  3. What hardware/platform were you working on?
    Raspberry Pi 5/8GB
  4. Instructions you have followed. (link/manual/etc.)
    I did a full apt/apt-get update and upgrade.
  5. Problems you were having?
    rpicam-hello returns saying there are no cameras detected.
  6. The dmesg log from your hardware?
    dmesg | grep imx477 returns nothing
  7. Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made?
    I’m running a fresh RPi5 image and Arducam says the IMX477 is supported natively, so why doesn’t it work natively?
  8. What help do you need?
    Help!

@Dion or someone, please. Can someone on this damn forum please help me!

What kind of customer support is this?

Hi
You do not enable the camera driver on the config file. Please follow the link below to enable imx477 camera driver on the config file.

I updated the config file to the following, did a reboot, and the pi still does not find the camera. Did I update the config file wrong?
