Setup IMX519 with any Raspberry Pi OS

Pikasso · May 14, 2022, 12:41pm

Where did you get the camera module(s)?
Kickstarter
Model number of the product(s)?
IMX519
What hardware/platform were you working on?
I tried Bullseye and Buster tried also a lot of different builds as the guide mentions
Instructions you have followed. (link/manual/etc.)
The ones from the guides arducam com/docs/cameras-for-raspberry-pi/pivariety/comparing-pivariety-camera-and-raspberry-pi-camera/ and arducam com/docs/cameras-for-raspberry-pi/pivariety/how-to-access-and-program-the-pivariety-camera-using-command-line-python-opencv-and-gstreamer/
Problems you were having?
Whatever I do, I am able at the end, to take pictures with libcamera. In the best case, I can have autofocus. My ultimate goal is to make it compatible with python and OpenCV. I am unable to have pivariety installed correctly. At least, dmesg | grep arducam shows only… and has only been showing probe issues and I have been trying all the flavors of raspberry versions…

Right now, 2022.04.04 freshly deployed using raspberry imager 1.7, as suggested in the guide. I installed the pivariety kernel and that’s all…

The dmesg log from your hardware?
i2cdetect -y 0 > nothing shown… only dashes. ------
dmesg in the next post… (too long here)
Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made?
I have been trying buster, bullseye, and different versions mentioned in the guides, downloads raspberrypi.org/raspios_full_armhf/images/raspios_full_armhf-2022-04-07/, but as well the one from early january, from 2021 … I am blocked… not sure why. As said, I can in the best case, take pictures with libcamera-still and use autofocus, but the dmesg has never been able to visualize the sensor… blocking the python access if I understood.
What help do you need?
A guide from scratch, that works… should I install both imx519 then pivariety… but ultimately, have python and opencv to control the camera with autofocus… would make my experience awesomely better.

pi@raspberrypi:~/Git $ cat /boot/config.txt

For more options and information see

Raspberry Pi Documentation - Configuration

Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default “safe” mode

#hdmi_safe=1

uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console

goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border

#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16

uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display’s size minus

overscan.

#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

#hdmi_force_hotplug=1

uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1

uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in

DMT (computer monitor) modes

#hdmi_drive=2

uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or

no display

#config_hdmi_boost=4

uncomment for composite PAL

#sdtv_mode=2

#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800

Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces

dtparam=i2c_arm=on

Thank you very much for your information,
I think we can solve problems one by one,
What you need to know before this is that only one of the IMX519 and Pivariety drivers can be enabled at the same time (by adding dtoverlay=imx519 or dtoverlay=arducam to /boot/config.txt)

From the current log, you have enabled the Pivariety driver in /boot/config.txt, but the camera is not detected (probe failed), this may be caused by the cable connection, can you tell me the Pivariety you purchased What model is the mod? Please also attach a photo of the cable connection.

Pikasso · May 16, 2022, 8:20am

Hi Wong.

Thank you for your fast reply and showing the path…

I bought two packs of Kickstarter 16MP Autofocus Arducam. Raspberry Pi is 3B+

You are right, it’s ambiguous… for newbees that both IMX519 and Pivariety can’t be used simultaneously. I hence, commented the dtoverlay line for imx519 in /boot/config.txt.
I also added cma=128 to overlay=vc4-fkms-vc3d

In regards to the cable, this may be the problem, though, I tried almost lal the cables I have (ref 20861, ref 20624, ref 20706) and can’t find a good solution where the dmseg | grep arducam would result in a version ID

Here is the picture requested.

wong · May 16, 2022, 8:31am

From the picture, you are using IMX519, but pivariety is configured in /boot/config.txt?
You should comment out: dtoverlay=arducam, turn on dtoverlay=imx519

Pikasso · May 16, 2022, 9:26am

Thank you Wong.
I then followed your suggestion and commented dtoverlay=arducam and uncommented dtoverlay=imx519 gave it a reboot.

Picture attached of tail /boot/config and libcamera-jpeg.

From here, I can take pictures, with libcamera-jpeg -o img.jpg

Though, when I run dmesg | grep arducam, it’s an empty line… nothing maybe because arducam is not loaded

My end goal being, using the arducam through python and opencv, to capture frames with opencv.
As we are, I think this is a on the way to . success using python3.9 and libcamera whl plugin (version 1.0.2) and provided examples run flawlessly (decreasing the resolution to 1280 x 780)

Indeed… v4l2 works as well (Some days ago, I faced some errors trying to make Use of v4l2loopback on line cd ~/libcamera # Installation using deb does not need to be executed.
Re-reading the page I understood today that the git libcamera needed to be done upfront.

What I just did :

Download kernel source code

sudo apt install git bc bison flex libssl-dev
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPi-Distro/rpi-source/master/rpi-source -O /usr/local/bin/rpi-source && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rpi-source && /usr/local/bin/rpi-source -q --tag-update
rpi-source -d $(uname -r)

Compile driver

git clone https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback.git
cd v4l2loopback
make clean && make
make && sudo make install
sudo depmod -a

Use v4l2loopback

git clone git://linuxtv.org/libcamera.git
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback video_nr=3
cd libcamera  # Installation using deb does not need to be executed
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=$(pwd)/build/src/gstreamer # Installation using deb does not need to be executed
gst-launch-1.0 libcamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080' ! videoconvert ! tee ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video3

I was able to create the v4l2loopback in one thread and use the camera in another thread with opencv

import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(3)
while True:
	ret, frame = cap.read()
	cv2.imshow("Arducam", frame)
	key = cv2.waitKey(1)
	if key == ord('q'):
		break

That leads me into a good direction for my project… as I reached one of the points, I then have probably simple questions…
1- With this setup, it seems that either python libcamera 1.0.2 or opencv have no autofocus enabled… is that correct ? Can it be fixed with somethign I missed ?
2- When to use or, what is the goal of enabling dtoverlay=arducam (when disabling imx519 in /boot/config.txt) ?
3- Looks like I need to learn more about the v4l2 to use it better in my python camera app … this is another topic

Thanks

wong · May 17, 2022, 3:25am

There doesn’t seem to be a good way at the moment, libcamera gstreamer doesn’t have any controls to set, and no controls can be set when working with v4l2loopback.
To achieve this goal requires a lot of modification.

dtoverlay will choose to load different drivers. For arducam, it loads the Pivariety driver, which is not suitable for imx519, so you need to increase dtoverlay=imx519 to load the imx519 driver.

Pikasso · May 17, 2022, 5:37am

That explains a lot. Thank you Wong

Is there a way to say, set the focus manualy to a value that would make it the same, that could be relaunched at boot … prior to running libcamera from python for instance?

wong · May 17, 2022, 8:42am

try:

v4l2-ctl -c focus_absolute=300 -d /dev/v4l-subdev1

surak · June 28, 2022, 4:37pm

So, turns out that it makes no sense to use the rpi-source script - installing the “raspberrypi-kernel-headers” instead works

Edward · June 29, 2022, 7:35am

@surak
We have a version that works.We are using the 2022-01-28 version,we have not adapted to the latest version.

Below is an example I wrote.

How to use?

You need to get your hash first.

cd /usr/share/doc/raspberrypi-bootloader/
sudo gzip -df changelog.Debian.gz
sudo cat changelog.Debian | head -n 10

# Do not copy, fill in according to your own system
# --disablecrosscompile ： use in raspberrypi
# -p you raspberrypi version
# -b bit of your  raspberrypi,like 32 or 64
# --hash First step you earn 
# example:
python3 setup_rpi_source.py --disablecrosscompile 1 -p Pi4 -b 32 --hash 1e138de65a13c28c04fa4abf37f4c21e231e41b7

Then,

Compile driver

git clone https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback.git
cd v4l2loopback
make clean && make
make && sudo make install
sudo depmod -a

Use v4l2loopback

git clone git://linuxtv.org/libcamera.git
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback video_nr=3
cd libcamera  # Installation using deb does not need to be executed
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=$(pwd)/build/src/gstreamer # Installation using deb does not need to be executed
gst-launch-1.0 libcamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080' ! videoconvert ! tee ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video3

I was able to create the v4l2loopback in one thread and use the camera in another thread with opencv

import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(3)
while True:
	ret, frame = cap.read()
	cv2.imshow("Arducam", frame)
	key = cv2.waitKey(1)
	if key == ord('q'):
		break

surak · July 5, 2022, 9:19pm

I have some questions:

how do I know which one I am running? It seems like you picked up the second from your list, but I don’t know which one is right for me
don’t we have a raspberrypi-kernel-headers package with the right kernel being used at the moment, or am I missing something here?
I am using the 64 bit version of the OS. Does it work there?

Meanwhile, I am trying your method, and I get:

raspberrypi-firmware (1:1.20220331-1) bullseye; urgency=medium

Everything seems to go on well, the module loads fine. But then I try to run, and I get this

Edward · July 6, 2022, 7:09am

@surak
Are you using a pi3?

surak · July 19, 2022, 9:18pm

No, a pi4 8gb. I need a 64bit system for pytorch.

surak · July 19, 2022, 10:07pm

This is really lacking.

I downloaded this old version of raspbian, and started doing it. Obviously I need more than that. For a start, flex and bison and openssl-dev, which are not on the system by default.

Will we be ever able to simply use these cameras? I’m not by far a beginner, but this is driving me mad.

Edward · July 20, 2022, 12:55am

@surak

okey , i’m sorry to hear it’s still doesn’t work now.
if you just want to let camera drawing.The link below is very easy.

At present, the Raspberry Pi has fully used the libcamera camera stack and framework. If you just want to use v4l2loopback:

it’s not easy and we no longer maintain.
But i can make an image of the installed environment for you.
you can try picamera2 https://github.com/raspberrypi/picamera2

hope this will help you.

surak · July 20, 2022, 5:11pm

Your solution writes -b 32, which I didn’t notice - and I mentioned I was using a 64-bit kernel.

Those missing functions are related to that.

The post here: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/issues/933#issuecomment-1105499408 helped me see that.

v4l2loopback compiles cleanly when using the -b 64. Thanks.

So, from zero to running it in opencv:

First: Download this version of Raspbian and DO NOT UPDATE THE KERNEL: https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/raspios_arm64-2022-01-28/2022-01-28-raspios-bullseye-arm64.zip

sudo apt install openssl-dev \
     flex \
     bison \
     libgstreamer1.0-dev \
     libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev \
     libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev \
     gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly \
     gstreamer1.0-tools \
     gstreamer1.0-gl \
     gstreamer1.0-gtk3 

wget -O install_pivariety_pkgs.sh https://github.com/ArduCAM/Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver/releases/download/install_script/install_pivariety_pkgs.sh
chmod +x install_pivariety_pkgs.sh
./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p libcamera_dev
./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p libcamera_apps
./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p imx519_kernel_driver

Here it will reboot.

After reboot,

git clone https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback.git # I am using the tag 0.12.5
cd v4l2loopback
make clean && make
make && sudo make install
sudo depmod -a

cd

git clone git://linuxtv.org/libcamera.git
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback video_nr=3
cd libcamera  # Installation using deb does not need to be executed
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=$(pwd)/build/src/gstreamer # Installation using deb does not need to be executed
gst-launch-1.0 libcamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080' ! videoconvert ! tee ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video3

This will be running on a window. You need a second terminal to do something else.

For python:

cd
python3 -m venv py3-cv2
source py3-cv2/bin/activate
pip install opencv-contrib-python

For every python code one should activate the previous virtual environment with a source ~/py3-cv2/bin/activate, so the opencv is found. I prefer to not install random stuff on .local.

This is what worked for me from scratch to having the camera running as I need on Raspbian 64… THANKS A LOT!!!
